The DNC has since has implemented many layers of protection including crowdstrike, hardware keys, as well as special auth software from Google. They learned many lessons from 2016.

  If I were to hazard a guess I think the OP is attempting to say they are incompetent and wrong in fingering the GRU as the cause of the DNC hacks (even though they were one of many groups that made that very obvious conclusion).

Afaik didn't they hack republicans too? They only released democrat emails though.

  Correct. Also, the DNC breach was investigated by FireEye and Fidelis as well (who also attributed it to Russia).

    Several groups doubted the results such as Threat Connect and Ukraine's military: https://threatconnect.com/resource/webinar-guccifer-2-0-the-dnc-hack-and-fancy-bears-oh-my/ https://threatconnect.com/resource/webinar-guccifer-2-0-the-... https://www.voanews.com/a/crowdstrike-comey-russia-hack-dnc-clinton-trump/3776067.html https://www.voanews.com/a/crowdstrike-comey-russia-hack-dnc-...

      So Ukraine's military and the app creator denied their artillery app was hacked by Russians, which might have caused them to lose some artillery pieces? Sounds like they aren't entirely unbiased. Ironically, DNC initially didn't believe they were hacked either.

        I mean... the DNC thought Bernie hacked them so...

        And CrowdStrike accurately point all the facts. Seems like they're pretty good at what they do. Maybe that's why there are so many critical infrastructure depends on them.

      Yeah this is the fringe view. The fact that the GRU is responsible is the closest thing you can get to settled in infosec. Especially since the alternative scenarios described usually devolve into conspiracy theories about inside jobs
