CNN:
… US intelligence officials say that newly identified “digital fingerprints” indicate Moscow was behind the intrusions.
One official told CNN the administration has traced the hack to the specific keyboards — which featured Cyrillic characters — that were used to construct the malware code, adding that the equipment leaves “digital fingerprints” and, in the case of the recent hacks, those prints point to the Russian government.[ … ]“It is clear that Russia has attacked the United States of America,” Republican Sen. John McCain said.
It’s really a shame that no one in the MSM actually does investigative reporting any more. They all wait for the talking points to be issued by the White House or State Department and then parrot them or chit chat about what they may mean.
As I’ve said before, my company receives hundreds of thousands of hack attempts per month. It’s my understanding that China is the chief culprit. I assume that Russia tried to hack into servers somewhere in the U.S. within the last several months, as I’m sure the U.S. has hacked their servers.
That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the DNC or Podesta emails which were given to Wikileaks by insiders. The CNN doesn’t have their story straight because they are shills.
As for Russia having attacked us, that the dumbest thing I’ve heard this year. Congratulations to John McCain. He is an ass, and he proves it anew each day.
Oh, and finally, not a single person associated with this report can be reached by email or left any contact information whatsoever. Remember what I said about people who write things and leave no means of contact? They are cowards, one and all.

Samson is said to have slain 10,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. It cheers me to see politicians suiciding with the same tool.

When they say “hacked the election” they aren’t talking about voting machines or voting data aggregators, they’re talking about Clinton’s ILLEGAL, UNSECURED server with classified info on it which has nothing to do with the election except to prove one of the candidates was a more blatant crook than the other one.

That “novelist” who helped push Obama’s Iran policy got it right (warning, this is a link to Carlos Slim’s blog): “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”
