Breach: Russian Hacking & Poisoning

Placeholder for Russian security attacks, Navalny results...

Thread on major hack: http://dagblog.com/link/sprawling-hack-federal-agencies-spurs-alarm-whit...

Oddly timed death of Congressional Putin pal affiliated with Rohrbacher. http://dagblog.com/comment/295907#comment-295907

And just for character reference, Russia's sanctions for the Olympics for overt doping. Not very willing to play by the rules https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5fdb6eadc5b6f24ae35e304e

Longer Navalny Novichok thread (+ Navalny video)

The August 2020 poisoning in the Siberian city of Tomsk appears to have happened after years of surveillance, which began in 2017 shortly after Navalny first announced his intention to run for president of Russia.

If you haven't seen Navalny investigation video on yt, it lays it out perfectly. It has subtitles and he makes it an entertaining watch.

reminder from June...
Trump had multiple calls with Putin from March thru the summer, while we now know Russian intel was penetrating thousands of US systems. Trump was even pushing to possibly host Putin at the eventually canceled G7/ex G8 https://t.co/iUGCVyABpi

Mitt Romney making very loud noises about the hacking and Trump not acknowledging it, according to CNN right now. I went to his Twitter feed and found this:

he retweeted this on his personal account as well as his "Senator" account.

Again, almost exactly 4 years ago, this man called up Russia and made several asks that put him (Flynn) and the incoming president on the same side as Russia against the US govt.

He also said expelling one suspected spy would be appropriate response to interfering in democracy. https://t.co/sv6JarORZH

apparently Putin is trying to get Pompeo fired? or is it that Pompeo is only trying to make it look like Putin and him aren't buddies? (See I can conspiracize just like everyone else )

Trump contradicts Pompeo and downplays Russia-linked cyberattack on US @ Twitter events, your choice of many news links there; their summary

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday that Russia was responsible for a cyberattack that embedded malicious code into US government software systems, as well as into other governments and companies around the world. Russian officials have since denied any such involvement in the cyberattacks. On Saturday, without providing evidence, President Trump implied that the media is focusing too much on Russia, when there is a "possibility that it may be China."

Minutes before this tweet landed I heard Trump was telling aides he thinks the SolarWinds hack and Russia attribution is a hoax.

And then he just tweeted it out. https://t.co/iq8YOBeF6W

Asked Lindsey Graham about Trump floating China as responsible for the massive cyberhack, and he told me: "I have no reason to believe it's China. I think that's a mistake."

Maybe Lindsey gets thrown under the bus, tho he stopped short of naming Pootie.

Tim here has a sharp and very suggestive eye at picking out a sentence from this A.P. article. Guess who mighta done that?

“Officials at the White House had been prepared to put out a statement Friday afternoon that accused Russia of being ‘the main actor’ in the hack, but were told at the last minute to stand down.” https://t.co/5drREVrHuZ

Microsoft said the suspected Russian hackers behind the stunning breach of numerous U.S. government agencies also accessed the company’s internal source code #cybersecurity https://t.co/O4QvvQY8Ho via @technology
