What Is CrowdStrike and Why Is Donald Trump Blabbering About It to Ukraine (vice.com)

Trump has been informed that CrowdStrike never found shit and never could have. It was a hit job, 'IP from RUSSIA, RUSSIAN, CYRILLIC characters!'... anyone who understands these technologies understands that's stupid. I buy a VPN, tunnel to RU, insert some cyrllic in my code, send an exploit, and that's your so-called "evidence" and "proof". Help me see this otherwise, honestly.


Like including "Guccifer 2.0" the "hacker" that originally claimed responsibility for the DNC breach being outed as a Russian intel agent directly linked to the GRU or aside from that?


Anyone can claim responsibility, and moreover, being 'responsible' doesn't mean you had some capabilities. Such as with skiddies who employ a chinese DDOS botnet. The people responsible are the ones running the botnets and selling their useage, not the people trying to utilize this.


Have you tried just researching this a little? I think it would answer most of your questions.
