The DNC email scandal explained
cnn.com ^ | Tal Kopan

Here's what you need to know about the leak. How do we know this is the work of Russia? Cybersecurity experts who initially responded to the DNC hack identified two distinct groups of hackers operating in the system -- one who had exclusively gone after the party's opposition research file on Donald Trump, and one that had been snooping on DNC emails for about a year. Both were recognized as known Russian military or intelligence-affiliated hacking operations. Crowdstrike, the firm that responded to the hack, tracks dozens of advanced cyberespionage operations, many affiliated with governments. Each group has distinct ways of attacking their targets, down to the malicious software signatures they use. Several cybersecurity firms have verified Crowdstrike's findings that the perpetrators of the DNC attack were the two known Russian groups, and there is no evidence independent hackers could be separately responsible for the leaks.

Who cares who hacked the emails?

The damning part is what is IN the emails and the hackers didn’t write them!

Let the DNC provide their email back up data to review the allegation of documents were changed.

It’s possible that the Russians did it by themselves but I am also considering that the Israelis may have assisted or did it themselves as payback. His Arrogance and his sniveling butt buddies spent a large amount of money and time intervening in the recent Israeli election. Turn about is fair play.

Look for the entire media apparatus to be brought to bear to attempt to deflect this from Hillary and the DNC.

They are now blaming Admiral Yamamoto.

Which group hacked Hillary’s unsecure basement email server?

CNN might be better tasked to explore that issue. They won’t.

Cybersecurity experts say Hillary’s personal server certain to have been hacked by Russians among others: MSM could not care less.

Cybersecurity experts say DNC server apparently hacked by Russians: MSM says big story!

Here's what you need to know about the leak.

LOL. CNN is hoping and praying that low information types will get "all that they need to know about the leak" from CNN.

Right out of the Clinton playbook.

When faced with damaging information that you can’t refute, attack the messenger. In this case, choose a messenger, then attack.

What difference does it make? Hillry must have ripped off somebody in Russia when she hit that reset button.. Russia can have her.. She would fit right in with their historical means and methods..

Rush today said Wikileaks was next going to release Hillary emails, but Rush didn’t know if they were from DNC or from her own server.
