President Obama Releases Ridiculous FBI Report on “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity”
Flopping Aces ^ | Dec, 29th, 2016 | Curt

Posted on 12/29/2016 4:07:46 PM PST by Cheerio

Against the backdrop of a sanctions announcement, President Obama’s administration has released a Joint Analysis Report claiming to outline the details of Russia’s involvement hacking into targeted political data base or computer systems during the election.

Except it doesn’t.

Not even a little.

The “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity – Joint Analysis Report” (full pdf below) is pure nonsense. It outlines nothing more than vague and disingenuous typical hacking activity that is no more substantive than any other hacking report on any other foreign actor.

This might as well be a report blaming Nigerian fraud phone solicitors for targeting U.S. phone numbers. DUH! Just because your grandma didn’t actually win that Nigerian national lottery doesn’t mean the Nigerian Mafioso are targeting your employer to hold you accountable for her portion of the bill.

I’ll wait for an HONEST assessment after January 20th. I see absolutely zero proof in this current report.

I read the “report.” It could have been cut and pasted from my Norton Antivirus newsletter or the stuff disseminated by my IT Department at work.

The ones who put this fake report together might want to start
looking for other jobs.

This is the type of swamp that needs to be drained.
The sooner, the better.

I read a bunch of it. Looks like a typical “white paper” released by a security contractors to impress upper management types. It appears to say a lot but doesn’t really say that much. In particular it does not offer proof that Russia was behind the hacking - at least I did not see it - but then I did not read every bit of it.

The report contains undeniable proof that there is no substance to the claims of Russian hacking.

I’ve pulled more sophisticated code - using the exact same technique - off of at least a dozen small business webservers.

And it ain’t the Russians compromising servers of local sprinkler repair companies.

Obama needs a scapegoat for his horrid agenda being trounced via Trump schlonging Hillary.

This putrid, hateful, immature little boy\man is just NOT leadership material and should be laughed off the international stage.

Oh, it’s enough the likes of McTurle, McStain, Grahnesty and other war mongers.

Plus, the MSM will help keep it on the front page, top story while D.C. burns through $M on this nothing-burger.

ANYTHING to keep the focus off Trump and (hopefully) returning to some semblance of a Republic.

Obie and his RAT Party just want to make sure Trump is heralded as an illegitimate President just like the RATS screamed about GEB for his eight years and many believe to this day Algore won in 2000.

The USSR and Russia have been meddling in elections the world over for decades - ask the now retired CIA Directors. Obumbler, the Liar-In-Chief, wants to leave the impression that Vlad got into the guts of the Diebold voting machines and changed votes to Trump - and IMHO half of America will believe this when they watch their 6 and 10 pm TeeVee news tonight.

Obumbler - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

When we design system , stuff listed on that pdf are so basic that are default security to be present in every code.I am doing that for atleast 20 yrs. Now a days, we do layers of protection.
I have reported couple of flaws to a major bank and Healthcare provider.
This document is complete garbage.

Russians, Romanians are best hackers. I have seen them in action during Hacking marathons. They are good.

It probably was. They think we all are as ignorant as they are, and that goes for McCain and Graham too.

Still looking for a reason for them losing the election.

If they would just pay attention they would know the reason.

We didn't like her and obomas 8 years was a failure! Simple to understand!!!

He has been numerous times.

I dont think he could goad any world leader to start anything right now but he sure is looking for justification to torch off a nuke before he leaves.

He’s only hurting his own party because people will remember this crap and like Steve Bannon said: The next time a Democrat is elected POTUS will be in 50 years. In 3 weeks people are going to see how a real leaders acts and gets things done, and this Obama is going to look like a ridiculous child by comparison.

I read the whole thing.

(Enter “JAR-16-20296” into any search engine)

The most specific “proof” they have is APT-28 and APT-29.

I’d like to see a couple of e-mails (with meta-data).

Otherwise, it was a “Computer Security 101” class in any community college.

Disappointing “proof”.
