Claims that Russia Was "Defnintely" Behind Election Hacking Relies Almost Entirely on Report Commissioned by Democrats From Private (and Partisan) Firm; That Firm Seems to Be Walking Back Its Claims
From Hot Air, Jeff Dunetz reports that the security firm "Crowdstrike" is withdrawing the report that the FBI relied so much upon.
Quoting VOA:U.S. cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike has revised and retracted statements it used to buttress claims of Russian hacking during last year’s American presidential election campaign. The shift followed a VOA report that the company misrepresented data published by an influential British think tank.Tucker Carlson had on a professor who's an expert on Russia last night to debunk the claim that it has been "proven" Russia meddled in our election. I didn't catch his name on the show; I just prayed "Don't be Stephen Cohen, Don't be Stephen Cohen," because he's a rather notorious Russian apologist who thinks Russia is pretty much innocent of everything. Well, alas, it turns out the professor Carlson was interviewing was in fact Stephen Cohen. Nonetheless, Cohen's claims here are factual in nature, not so much argumentative, and it seems to me that factual claims must be met with factual rebuttals, not questions about the biases of the person offering those claims. And I'm not aware of anyone even contesting his factual claims. Why was a private firm permitted to conduct the analysis which the US government then adopted as its own, exactly? Would that have something to do with the fact that the DNC wouldn't permit the FBI to conduct its own forensic examination?

FireEye is one of the cyber consultancies that testified at yesterday's Senate hearing on Russia. I didn't see it, but looked at their prepared opening statement:
"Let me now turn to explaining why we assess that the Russian government was likely behind this activity.
In order to make such an assessment, we reviewed and compared intrusion methodologies and tools, malware or authored exploits and use of shared personnel.
We also examined forensic details that were left behind, such as the specific IP addresses or email addresses from spear phishing attacks, file names, MD5 hashes,
timestamps, custom functions, encryption algorithms, or backdoors that may have command and control IP addresses or domain names embedded.
***
The size of the infrastructure, the targeted information, the amount of malware and the totality of the sophistication, suggests a long-term, well-resourced espionage campaign in which Russia is the benefactor. "
I'm just an Ignoramus, but it reads like they're saying it looks like the Russians, therefore it must be the Russians.
Meanwhile today's WikiLeak is about how the CIA masks its own hacking to look like it was the Russians, Chinese or North Koreans

I have always been skeptical about the Russian hackers claim. Its not that they couldn't have, its just that they never had anything solid just "it looked like Russian-style technique: which is so easy to spoof its ridiculous. My guess is Chinese, if any foreign nation was behind it. They're the most active against us.
What annoys me most is that people who cling to this conspiracy theory are the ones who refuse, refuse to understand the difference between the Wikileaks Podesta email release, and the hack of the DNC.
They think its the same, so its all tainted. Which is the entire point of all this, to get people to stop paying attention to the content of the emails which is incredibly damning and embarrassing to both the DNC and the legacy media.

The DNC got hacked, the big revelations of which were, ironically, how Debbie W-S fucked over Bernie and how debates questions were given to Hillary, and what a dick Podesta is. That's what the Ds are screaming about.
It's also not certain it was the Russians. It's only an inference.
And it could have been an inside by a disgruntled BernieBot.
But if it was an inside job by a BernieBot then presumably he wouldn't need malware to do it. If so, the DNC consulting firm would be lying. Which you could easily check by looking at the DNC server. The one no one -- not even one of the 17 federal spook agencies has had access to. The one that now sleeps with the fishes

All the polling had Hillary winning in a landslide.
If Donks are insisting that the Russians won the election for Trump, perhaps they and the MFM should use the Russians for their polling.

As I said when this news was first made several months ago -- assuming that Crowdstrike is unreliable, we're back to square 1 right.
We have no idea if the DNC was even "hacked." Wikileaks strongly strongly hinted that they were the recipients of a LEAK, not a phishing scam.

If someone is looking for direct state interference in our elections, look no farther than to Mexico.
Mexico encourages their citizens to move here, register to vote, encourages them to retain their Mexican passport, encourages them to have both Mexican AND USA passports if at all possible (Jorge Ramos, anyone?) and encourages them to vote as (D).
Also encourages them to not show up for jury duty, where they could be arrested.
All of this is written out in documents which even I, a retiree, can find in about 5 minutes on the web. Also encourages them to apply for any and all types of welfare and SSI, whether eligible or not.
I can't find any record of Russia doing anything like this.

Revealing all the Democrats dirty laundry (including them 'hacking the election for Hillary') = 'hacking' the election.
Whoever 'hacked' the DNC did not 'hack' the election, only the corrupt party, and that's what the furor is designed to obscure.

Right. You know who has some of the best security guys in the world on staff? Google.
Let's let google (or whoever) look at the information and put their reputation on the line as to whether or not they can say definitively who phished the DNC or Podesta emails.
My guess?
There's nothing to go on but an IP address. And that means absolutely nothing. In fact, if the phishers used a Russian proxy to carry out their phishing attempts, that leads me to think that whoever was involved was not Russian. Because it would be kind of silly to use a proxy that still points to you, no?

Exactly. It was really revealing to see so many vaunted "Infosec experts" and "cybersecurity professionals" running around like idiots , posting all over social media about Russians ....without a single scrap of evidence and knowing full well that Russian servers are the global hacking Disneyland.
I guess those folks can spot 'the guilty' from a mile away.

Ace, you're good at language analysis, and it'd be very useful to see a post on this topic:
The Left is intentionally relying on confusion over the two definitions of "hacking" in an attempt to mislead the public.
Up until about 5 years ago, "hacking" was defined as "doing illegal and surreptitious meddling with a computer." But thena more recent definition has started to become commonplace among the younger crowd: "hacking" to mean a sort of shorthand quick-fix shortcut improvement or alteration of something -- even things that have nothing to do with computers or electronics.
Best-known examples are "Life hacks" -- what used to be called "household hints" -- and "job hacks", as well as a wide variety of other terms using "hack" in relation to any kind of activity. "Diet hacks," "I totally hacked a shortcut to school," etc. etc.
This is how language evolves - fine.
But whe the left says that Russia "hacked" the election, they are INTENTIONALLY confusing the two terms. They want the average person to think that Russia literally hacked the voting machines and produced false vote totals. But when challenged on this obviously false claim, they'd say, "Oh, no, we mean 'hacked' merely in the sense of 'influenced.'"
Uh huh.
These disingenuous wordgame is at the root of this entire pseudo-scandal.

There's nothing to go on but an IP address. And that means absolutely nothing. In fact, if the phishers used a Russian proxy to carry out their phishing attempts, that leads me to think that whoever was involved was not Russian. Because it would be kind of silly to use a proxy that still points to you, no?

I'd like to see any one of his staff's qualifications to determine where a phishing attempt originated. Our own government has a very hard / nearly impossible time backtracking beyond proxies, how would these people be able to pull that off?

"Would that have something to do with the fact that the DNC wouldn't permit the FBI to conduct its own forensic examination?"
When the arrests were made at the Watergate break-in both the FBI and the local telephone company went through all the phones to look for bugs. None were found by either group.
Then days later the DNC called up the FBI and said they'd discovered a "bug" on a phone. A phone which had been checked twice by experts. The "bug" was a clunky Radio-Shack parts device with a defective transistor that wouldn't work. It was suspected that the Democrats, to further their narrative, had had some staffer make it up and put it into the phone, but that couldn't be proved.
They learned that night to not let the FBI, or anyone they didn't completely control, to do a search that might blow a hole in their storyline.

i mean really, who interferes with their allies and supporters?
As I said upthread (largely in jest), Syria. That being said, my take on it isn't that Putin really preferred one over the other- maybe slightly, I don't know-- but any interference was going to be for the sake of interference. In other words, sowing chaos, eroding faith in our processes, demoralizing a rival, that kind of thing.

Stephen Cohen is a man of the left (married to Katrina van den Heuvel of The Nation). So if he says the claims about Russian meddling -- which delegitimize the Trump election -- are bogus, that's what we lawyers might call an admission against interest, and hence something that ought to be viewed with more credibility than you might otherwise view something coming from him.

Still not really sure how if Russia did expose some true email corrspondence, it somehow negates the election.
I'm also wondering how much energy Republicans should really expend rebutting all of this, Russian fear is not resonating with the public at large. Maybe just focus on the agenda at hand and ignore this.
The only people this seems to be for the benefit of is the NeoCon NeverTrump wing of the GOP that seems to be obsessed with it.

Just because you don't respond to or care about an antagonistic act doesn't make that act not antagonistic.

DNC = Hacked
Election = Not hacked. No vote totals were changed by the Russians.
Intentional obfuscation/ outright lying of the two terms.

Absolutely. I don't go looking for trouble -- because coward -- but I'm sure I could find a proxy server in any of the former soviet republics, or Russia itself within five minutes.
And the guy in Israel who was phoning in the bomb threats to Jewish entities here in the USA? Genius stuff. It took them a month just to track the country it was coming from. If he had proxied up they might never have found him.
He was probably confident being behind about six levels of deception and didn't think a seventh was necessary.

Still not really sure how if Russia did expose some true email corrspondence, it somehow negates the election.

The October surprise we didn't get was Hillary's 33,000 deleted e-mails. I'd bet the Russians have them and were going to use them to blackmail her, because she was certain to win after the real October surprise ...
Which was Pussygate. Which required the illegal leaking of a private conversation by MSM in a hit job co-ordinated with the Hillary campaign.
Hillary's Mooks knew this would kill Trump's campaign and even drive him from the race. Which is why they started to chilling the champagne early, and forgot to visit swing states.

All you ever hear is "Russian hacked the election". Nobody bothers to ask some real questions.
If you press them on it they mumble stuff like "Russian bots on social media and websites lying about Hillary."
That's it, that's literally all they got.
Look, I get people being opposed to foreign governments meddling in US elections. Its annoyed me for a long time, and it didn't start this election. Russia has been trying to influence US elections since at least the 30s. Almost every major nation on earth tries to manipulate US elections, sometimes pretty openly. And the US does so blatantly and quite openly (witness Obama's fail in trying to fix the Israeli election).

You can clone a webmail page , send a realistic looking email from "tech support" instructing users to click on the Webmail link and enter their credentials due to an "upgrade" or whatever and kick back and wait for the usernames and passwords for 80% of a business to populate your harvester file.
But definitely , I think that the Dems should waste many many thousands more hours chasing teh evil Rooskis. For revenge. Or something

Mexico even sends voter guides down to the county level, suggestions of whom to vote for.
Looking at the political landscape of California, seems to me like it is working.

Russia Was "Defnintely" Behind Election Hacking
I'm still confused about this "election hacking" term. What exactly did this "hacking" do? No machines or ballots were altered (and certainly less than what the DNC or voter fraud did themselves). And the DNC and Hillary campaign were actually guilty of the abuses/crimes reported. So how, other than obfuscation and blame displacement to help the media redirect blame to Not Democrats, does this "Russian hacking" change an election?
How about we quit entertaining this fraudulent squirrel and return to requesting an investigative commission on Hillary!'s illegal server and CGI pay-for-play?

And I'm perfectly happy to go back to paper ballots if it can be shown that someone can hack the electronic voting machines.

That being said, I doubt there was widespread tampering with those machines because the vast majority of ways you could hack them would leave a trail in log files that would get you caught. Probably.

About that. Wasn't that conversation recorded at NBC Studios, in California? You know, that same state that recently filed 5 felony charges against the group that made the Planned Parenthood tape for recording them?

leave a trail in log files that would get you caught. Probably.

It's not unusual for private firms to be brought in for Incident Response even if it's a public entity that is hacked. The experts are found in the private sector.
Mandiant (which is the IR branch of FireEye) is the big kahuna for IR. They were called in for the Sony hack, Anthem hack, Apple hack a few years back. They are the goto guys. Crowdstrike has been nipping on it's heels the last few years though, they're kind of the hot new startup in the IR/Cyber-Security space.

You tell them what number to dial. They pick up a phone and dial that number. Then they place the phones next to each other.
Bingo. Phone call originated in Russia.

Obama didn't just weaponize the IRS. He fully weaponized the FBI, NSA, and CIA to take on political adversaries.

After the 2000 election and the chad debacle in FL a study was commissioned to examine all the different methods of voting and which one would be the easiest and most reliable and at the same time provide a paper trail.
After months of study they came back and said simple paper ballots like everyone used to use years ago was by far the best at meeting those criteria.
Needless to say that study was filed in the deepest vault next to the Lost Ark and quickly forgotten.

105 There's nothing to go on but an IP address. And that means absolutely nothing. In fact, if the phishers used a Russian proxy to carry out their phishing attempts, that leads me to think that whoever was involved was not Russian. Because it would be kind of silly to use a proxy that still points to you, no?
Posted by: Harry Paratestes
Absolutely. I don't go looking for trouble -- because coward -- but I'm sure I could find a proxy server in any of the former soviet republics, or Russia itself within five minutes.
And the guy in Israel who was phoning in the bomb threats to Jewish entities here in the USA? Genius stuff. It took them a month just to track the country it was coming from. If he had proxied up they might never have found him.
He was probably confident being behind about six levels of deception and didn't think a seventh was necessary.

Not entirely true. There are other smoking guns as well beyond potentially proxied IP addresses. You can look at the malware that was used, what keyboard type and what language it was compiled in. You can look at the victim's logs and determine when they were taking place. Oftentimes if it's an APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) type actor such as a nation-state, you're going to see the hacking take place during normal business hours for that country. So for instance if the hacks are taking place 9AM-5PM, Beijing time, that's another data point on who the attacker is.
Now, all that being said, you add up all those various clues/data points and you can get a very strong inference on who the perpetrator is. But, and this is the but, if you've followed along this far, you'll notice that all of the above can be spoofed/faked as well. Incidence Response is very very difficult to do. Good hackers know how to clean up after themselves or frame others.

Crowdstrike is walking back it's claims in different report about a different matter.
However, the point is taken that the FBI should never take a report from someone with a self interest in the outcome.
That's why whenever push comes to shove they will say there is no evidence. There never was any evidence gathering by the FBI in the first place.
I also find it interesting that nobody had asked Comey who directed him to investigate Trump's connection with Russia, and based on what information.

The Soros wing of the Democrat party does nothing if not choose its psy op terms carefully.
To "hack" implies a solution, or effective action, as in "life hack"
It also means, narrowly, to intrude on information in a cyber security sense.
So by saying Russia "hacked" the election can be "proved" narrowly true if there was Russian intelligence gathering on a wide-open source, i.e. Shrillary's grossly unsecured server.
But it is then spun as though they "hacked" i.e. actually effected a change in the election.
That, aside from point that whatever Russia learned, it has nothing to do with Trump facilitating it.
I'm just fed up with "the issue" being "whether Russia hacked" anything, much less whether Russia "tried to interfere."
Its an ambiguity wrapped in an irrelevancy.

I don't want to injure myself because of muscle and body fatigue.
I pray this is not the norm and is only 6 weeks of 6 day a week training catching up to me. I pray I have not hit the wall for my age.
Fuck it I'll try and do something high rep and light weight. Just needed to talk it out and now I know I'm sounding like a pussy.

I can't avoid the conclusion that the FBI willingly engaged in deception for political reasons here.
When the DNC refused to provide access to their servers, the FBI could have said, "then we're unable to investigate claims of Russian involvement." The end.
Instead, they went forward with information from the intelligence equivalent of the National Enquirer, while pretending they had actual evidence.

Up until about 5 years ago, "hacking" was defined as "doing illegal and surreptitious meddling with a computer." But thena more recent definition has started to become commonplace among the younger crowd: "hacking" to mean a sort of shorthand quick-fix shortcut improvement or alteration of something -- even things that have nothing to do with computers or electronics.
Best-known examples are "Life hacks" -- what used to be called "household hints" -- and "job hacks", as well as a wide variety of other terms using "hack" in relation to any kind of activity. "Diet hacks," "I totally hacked a shortcut to school," etc. etc.
This is how language evolves - fine.
But whe the left says that Russia "hacked" the election, they are INTENTIONALLY confusing the two terms. They want the average person to think that Russia literally hacked the voting machines and produced false vote totals. But when challenged on this obviously false claim, they'd say, "Oh, no, we mean 'hacked' merely in the sense of 'influenced.'"
Uh huh.
These disingenuous wordgame is at the root of this entire pseudo-scandal.
Posted by: zombie at March 31, 2017 04:06 PM (DQ4Fv)
Actually, the etymology of the term (since before the Internet Era) is somewhat the opposite.
"Hacking" Before Internet referred exactly to whipping up some makeshift solution to a problem, and by analogy to whipping up some code, usually poorly documented, to fix a programming problem.
After the Web exploded, somewhere around 1990, the term "hacking" became associated with illicit access to computer systems. Among programmers, this was originally referred to as "cracking" rather than "hacking."
Hacking has always had the connotation of chewing-gum-and-baleing-wire quick-and-dirty fixes to problems--hence the recent "life hacks" and that ilk--and has with the advent the Internet-connected world, *also* gained the connotation of illegal, illicit, and/or unauthorized access to on-line systems.
But you are correct that the Dems are willfully conflating the two connotations of the word "hacking" in order to spin the issue.

This is often the case, yes. But it would take a lot of hackers to make
a statistically significant modification to voting machines and the
odds are strongly against mobilizing something like that without leaving
a lot of cookie crumbs.
Which is an excellent point. Just not enough skilled hackers to do a job of that scale within the timeframe needed.
Which explains the detection of Obama admin hack attempts against the various state systems.

I will say that the confirmation bias was well earned. Saddam did his level best to keep up the illusion so there was at least reason to believe the fire had some embers.

Does Crowdstrike have a good reputation in the IT community?
Posted by: Hopped Up On Something at March 31, 2017 04:38 PM (k7fBu)
As was mentioned earlier Mandiant/FireEye is/was the goto for Incident Response. Kevin Mandia is no joke. He's been around forever, got his start in the Air Force, knows his stuff and still has lots of smart guys working for him.
Crowdstrike is the hot startup that is nipping at the heels. They were fast building a name for themselves, and had a decent enough reputation. This however, is likely a black eye for them.
If I had to give a yes/no, I would say yes, they're respected, but somewhat unproven given how young the company is. But to be fair to them, there are many players in the Cybersecurity startup space (what I'm trying to say is that being a startup isnt necessarily a knock against you)

Just as an aside to the sidebar, we had a District advisory team medic who was awarded a silver star. He and a huge German Shepard named Slick circled around behind a VC bunker that had a bunch of people pinned down. Bac sy (what we called medics) sicked Slick on the VC. Slick then ran into the bunker and the medic shot the bad guys as they exited. We figured Slick should have gotten the award.

They already had a road rage incident where a driver stepped out and shot another on driver. The fun has already begun in Atlanta.
My commute on the northside very light, but I don't expect that to continue. Couple school systems were out. I don't think anybody realizes how bad it really is.
The location prevents any bypass. It is basically the location where 400 75 and 85 come togather. There is no way to travel through the city going North and South except on two lane city streets. And I 20 sucks.
Economically? It could kill downtown Atlanta. Looks like the Braves got out just in time

Hey Vic!
Ever since the suckiest Olympics ever, Atlanta has become a metroplex. Just like every other scummy urban Freakshow in America. They slap paint on old warehousesand rent out 300 square-foot rabbit hutches to the urban hipsters.
There are a lot of people that go down there to shop particularly to IKEA, and other locations around town. Centennial Park is a hotspot and this is the season for outdoor concert at Chastain and other places.
I don't go down there myself, but I know a lot of people that do.

The "RUSSIANS hacked the election" dummiecrat BS reminds me of the Barky *birther* people. Somehow TPTB are going to prove that Trump worked with "the Russians" to get some more media exposure of Hillary's character flaws and this will result in him being removed from office and somehow things are then right with the world.
Except sadly some big league FNM names and Dem politicians are feeding the "russian hacking" conspiracy nonsense to their hard left base. I suppose this has been happening since Kennedy or even earlier but I never used to be fully aware of the real facts + tuned in to the fact that the FNM were hyping lies to advance their party.
