It seems like I read somewhere in the news that our government was proficient in making hacks appear like they came from places like Russia when they were done by the USA.
Does anyone else remember this?

Remembered well

It seems the gobmint itself was hacked and the tools to do this were released

Was several threads on this here at FR.

Snowden disclosed that the NSA could fake hacks from Russia, China, North Korea, Iran or anyone they wanted to--it is clear that no claims of foreign hacking can be validated by reasonable people who don't have an axe to grind.

But, Trump is being unfair to Obama and the Deep State when he says they didn't act.

They determined where the real leak came from and took Executive Action--they murdered the perp.

His name was Seth Rich. :-(

Yep...

"The CIA can fake the fingerprint origin of a hack to make it look like it came from a foreign agent hacker or country."

I remember some DS hacking/spying ‘tools’ getting loose in the wild, IIRC.

I don’t recall reading it, but I did hear it on FNC or FBN within the last week.
