Sorry, not buying this. How would anyone know who hacked in? Hackers can look like they’re coming from anywhere. It could even be our own CIA hacking in and making it look like it is a Russian hack.
No article can be taken at face value any longer.

New One World Government.
Anyone notice how everything is running perceptibly slower now?
Check your smartphone settings. What is the largest consumer of your battery power now? “Exposure Notifications.”
Endless updates requiring constant restarts.
We've yet to see a single technical and/or coherent (non-political) explanation that indicts Russia and exonerates China.
The term for this kind of attack is Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) and it was originally coined by an Air Force Colonel.
Although several countries have been identified as APT actors, China is known and demonstrated to have been the chief APT actors for the last decade.
So where's even one single iota of evidence that makes the Russia vs. China case.
Of course one would expect the stenographic press sluts of the USA to repeat verbatim whatever their hidden "sources" want them to believe, and of course 99 percent of the stenographers are incompetent to decipher or question even basic technical information.
So the simple answer to yet another "Russia, Russia, Russia" (and NOT China) is "Prove it. Where's your evidence, and where'd you get it?"
Thanx for adding the background on dimitri alperovitch.
Connects to hildabeast emails Ukraine .....
Are they trying to clean him up now as an expert??

Dmitri Alperovitch, a cybersecurity expert and chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a Washington-based think tank, said while the breach appears to be a “serious issue” and can potentially make it easier for attackers to uncover additional vulnerabilities at Microsoft, the company’s worst fears were not realized.
Ping.

As Donald Trump began his meteoric rise to the presidency, the Obama White House summoned Ukrainian authorities to Washington to coordinate ongoing anti-corruption efforts inside Russia’s most critical neighbor. The January 2016 gathering, confirmed by multiple participants and contemporaneous memos, brought some of Ukraine’s top corruption prosecutors and investigators face to face with members of President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), the FBI, State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ).
The agenda suggested the purpose was training and coordination. But Ukrainian participants said it didn’t take long — during the meetings and afterwards — to realize the Americans’ objectives included two politically hot investigations: one that touched Vice President Joe Biden’s family, and one that involved a lobbying firm.......

OPINION Ukraine Tried to Tip the Election in Clinton’s Favor
Evidence reveals that Ukraine intervened to tilt the election in favor of its national interests
By Michael Sainato • 01/12/17
Politico reported that the Ukrainian founder and CTO of Crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that the DNC hired to investigate the alleged Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who took over after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was removed in early 2014. In August, Politico reported that, Dmitri Alperovitch, also serves as a senior fellow to the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, which is openly anti-Russian . The Atlantic Council is funded by Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk, who also happens to be one of the most prolific donors to the Clinton Foundation. The DNC denied multiple requests from the FBI to access their servers, effectively forcing the FBI to rely on CrowdStrike’s assessment of the hacks.
The Atlantic Council has propagated anti-Russian sentiment and advocated for bolstering NATO forces in anticipation of a military conflict between with Russia long before Wikileaks released emails from the DNC and Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta. In 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award. In 2014, the Atlantic Council hosted one of several events.
Trump’s favorable rhetoric to Russia was concerning Ukraine. The article stated, “Russia wants Trump for U.S. president; Ukraine is terrified by Trump and prefers Hillary Clinton.”
<><> Victor Pinchuk, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian and businessman whose father-in-law is a former president of Ukraine is a connected Ukrainian who served two terms as an elected member of the Ukrainian Parliament and is a proponent of closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union.
<><> The Clinton Foundation publicly reports, and its foundation spokesman confirmed, that other foreign entities have given more than the Pinchuk Foundation (which is listed as having given between $10 million and $25 million).
<><> Between 2009 and 2013, including when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation based in Kiev, Ukraine, the Journal reported.
<><> In 2008, “Mr. Pinchuk made a five-year, $29 million commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative (a wing of the foundation that coordinates charitable projects) "to train future Ukrainian leaders and professionals to modernize Ukraine," according to the Clinton Foundation.
<><> Several alumni of the Clinton program are current members of the Ukrainian Parliament.
<><> Ukranian Pinchuk was especially generous---not only blanketing the Clinton Foundation with money, he hired Hillary for a $300,00 speech to help him boost Ukraine's creds; even Chelsea got into the act.
CIRCA 2013----Ukranian billionaire Viktor Pinchuk hires Hillary to give a speech at a Ukraine forum discussing regime change, exiting Russia....and hitting up the US for more foreign aid.
In response to their preferred candidate Hillary losing the election, Ukrainian officials are now scrambling to revert from their lobbying for Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko recently signed a $50,000-a-month contract with a lobbying firm to set up meetings with U.S. officials in the new administration. Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk wrote an op-ed on December 29 in the Wall Street Journal in which he argued that Ukraine needs make compromises to establish peace with Russia. After the election, reports surfaced that Pinchuk donated to Trump’s charity to try to gain the same favor and access that his donations to the Clinton Foundation afforded him.
“The sole reason the Victor Pinchuk Foundation has reached out to President-elect Trump—as well as other world leaders—has been to promote strengthened and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West,” a spokeswoman for the Pinchuk foundation told ABC News.
While past elections in Ukraine have been viewed as proxy battles between the U.S. and Russia, it appears that the 2016 presidential election in the U.S. faced similar influence from two foreign countries attempting to influence an election outcome preferable to their own national interests.

What they don’t understand is the cyber platforms these guys sell are not working, but they continue to consult them as experts.

Nobody Expects the Russian Hack!
CrowdStrike's phony "expert" Dmitri Alperovitch has moved on to a new front group with the same racket.
And who's this joker?
Thanks for the ping. I pinged the windows list earlier on a prior thread of the same topic, and I try not to spam the list. But I do appreciate the heads up.

hack into Microsoft’s internal systems and access some of the company’s source code,
= = =
I think MS would not have its internal systems, especially source code, connected to the internet.
