Back when this event happened, we were told by “U.S. officials”, that the hack was the work of the Russians. Another lie by the CIA/FBI/DNC.
Yeah, well, the Russians ate my homework.
The check was in the mail, but the Russians intercepted it.
Perhaps of interest, a number of these CIA hacking tools are designed to leave a “fingerprint” of the hacking source to be Russian, Chinese, Al-Queda, etc. So any report of a hacking source from the past or present with all these tools “in the wild” are now extremely questionable. Sigh.
They had to leak the methods to provide cover for the fact that they were hacking friendly computers using those methods... I think it is called Plausible deniability.
