Russia 'Cozy Bear' Breached GOP as Ransomware Attack Hit
Newsmax ^ | July 6, 2021 | From Bloomberg Propaganda

Russian government hackers breached the computer systems of the Republican National Committee last week, around the time a Russia-linked criminal group unleashed a massive ransomware attack, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The government hackers were part of a group known as APT 29 or Cozy Bear, according to the people. That group has been tied to Russia’s foreign intelligence service and has previously been accused of breaching the Democratic National Committee in 2016 and of carrying out a supply-chain cyberattack involving SolarWinds Corp., which infiltrated nine U.S. government agencies and was disclosed in December.

It’s not known what data the hackers viewed or stole, if anything. The RNC has repeatedly denied that it was hacked. “There is no indication the RNC was hacked or any RNC information was stolen,” spokesman Mike Reed said.

Since the US government never got to do forensic study of the DNC server this is all conjecture.

Since the NSA can spoof any other intelligence service hackers it is equally likely that they did the hack.

Seth Rich was the DNC leak--the DNC hack is a modern myth fomented by the Deep State and publicized by their mass media hacks.

This being one of the 16 things not to be hit according to Traitor Joe. However like 0bama’s red line, once crossed, there has to be “significant” damage to warrant a strongly worded letter. Else like 0bama: we are a big country and can absorb some hits be they nuclear or now with Traitor Joe, ransomware ...
