I have, over the last couple of decades, come across quite a few “fake” internet domains. Usually they exploit the idea that sometimes people misspell a word in the URL and stuff like that.
I have to ask:
1. Are “the Russians” just being singled out because it’s a hot headline. That is, are there thousands of these, but they found a few “Russian” ones and so they are reporting these and ignoring the others.
2. How do we know it’s “the” Russians and not “some Russian guys” or maybe not even Russians at all?
This could be nothing more than a new version of the meme regarding white cops shooting unarmed black men. Sure, it happens, but rarely and they actually shoot a lot more unarmed white guys. But the impression most people ended up with was there was a cops war on unarmed black men, because that is what was constantly being reported.
check out a book called Fatal System Error. itll open your eyes about ‘russian’ and organized crime on the web.
these people should not feel special that the Russians tried to hack/hijack their systems. if you are online, they will try to spoof/phish/zombie/proxy them and everyone.
botnets will one day take down our grid or our payment systems or both. Not EMP.
IIRC, the consensus of this whole mess of “Russia” was that the “technique” of infiltration was typical of Russian methods.

Sure it’s Russians. They did it to protect GEOTUS from the Mueller staff investigating meddling in 2016. They had Dem fake websites in 2016, donchyaknow.
