ON MONDAY NIGHT, Slate’s Franklin Foer published a story that’s been circulating through the dark web and various newsrooms since summertime, an enormous, eyebrow-raising claim that Donald Trump uses a secret server to communicate with Russia. That claim resulted in an explosive night of Twitter confusion and misinformation.
The gist of the Slate article is dramatic — incredible, even: Cybersecurity researchers found that the Trump Organization used a secret box configured to communicate exclusively with Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest privately-held commercial bank. This is a story that any reporter in our election cycle would drool over, and drool Foer did:
The researchers quickly dismissed their initial fear that the logs represented a malware attack. The communication wasn’t the work of bots. The irregular pattern of server look-ups actually resembled the pattern of human conversation — conversations that began during office hours in New York and continued during office hours in Moscow. It dawned on the researchers that this wasn’t an attack, but a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank.

...and it’s a POS article...just like Slate...
The Democrat ignorance is astounding. Austan Goolsbee just told O’Reilley that Russia wasn’t a foreign country as applies to FISA.
STOP MAKING SENSE!
I’m sick of this crap about this subject and all others. We never understand that every time we play logic, they laugh. They just make all the shit up!!!!!!!!!!!
Is? Well, it depends on the meaning of is....?
Just incarcerate the bastards already!!! If not now, when???????????????????????
WAY TOO MANY people are posting old articles and it’s misleading and annoying.
If the OLD ARTICLE IS THAT ####ING important, there will be a newer, updated article on the status.
Tomorrow I’m going to post an article about the Jet’s superbowl win.
If you were trying to securely communicate, you certainly wouldn’t use DNS and what about DNS Caching? If you cache the DNS you wouldn’t need to ping the DNS.
Sounds stupid and for the technically ignorant.
This is horrible. Trump was spamming the Russians?!!?
Fake news beats old news.
Old fake news is best. That's why I love history.
Actually they point out that the server is used to churn out marketing emails for Trump hotels.
More proof that there was never any “there” there. If this server was the impetus for the FISA warrant, it’s a crock of fertilizer.
How can Russia be a foreign country, when Sarah Palin can see it from her yard?
It document that the server stuff was all bogus crap
You have to realize The Intercept oddly has become like WikiLeaks ...a left wing group that become allies to our side
FYI im a computer network security engineer so I understand what they are talking about and it makes perfect sense. They are fight the deep state trying to take out Trump
Spam-gate
ROFL!!
I don’t know all the technical stuff, but the article seems to reinforce that the Russia crap is crap. It’s a phony pretext to spy on and ultimately to hamstring the Trump administration.
Next thing people will be saying is that the Cubs won the World Series.
Look bottom line this articles states the so call suspicious traffic was nothing but DNS queries
Goolsbee? That weird talking creep is back on TV? So glad I cancelled cable years ago and ain’t tempted to watch the crap.
Next thing people will be saying is that the Cubs won the World Series.
