@se7en I don't see why government hacking would have to require supercool, serious James Bond hacking and why you think it's impossible that mere amateurs (if that's what it is, I don't know because I haven't bothered reading thoroughly) are the ones who carry out an attack. Especially if, as you claim, there isn't even a need for more skills. Just a target and some in…

@johnnynull The "hacks" (while media tends to get stuff confused and often also include the online influencing) include the concrete cracking of Hillary's mail server which certainly affected a lot of the public debate.

@se7en Yeah, because that thread's analysis is likely to take into account the vast intelligence network of the people writing the report but are not allowed to talk about identifying details :)

@se7en Maybe the Russian government didn't want to be too obvious and hired some hackers that wouldn't create immediate ties to themselves?

@se7en I'm not saying Russia definitely did it. What I want to get across is that neither of these superpowers are trustworthy and whatever they say is just shit and propaganda.
