New clues link election hacks in U.S. to Russian intelligence

A top cybersecurity firm said Friday it has found “significant” links between the hacks of two U.S. state election databases this summer and suspected Russian state-sponsored attacks against the ruling political party in Turkey and members of the Ukrainian Parliament.

ThreatConnect, a firm founded by former U.S. military intelligence analysts, said it discovered the connection this week by researching a Web address linked to one of the election hacks and cited in an Aug. 18 confidential “flash” alert to state election officials. The alert was first reported Monday by Yahoo News.

The same IP address was previously used in a “spear-phishing campaign” that began last March against members of the Ukrainian Parliament, Turkey’s ruling AKP party and Germany’s Freedom Party, ThreatConnect said in a research report titled “Can a BEAR Fit Down a Rabbit Hole?” Yahoo News has obtained an advance copy of the report, which is being released on ThreatConnect’s website today.

Lots of interesting plots come to mind. For instance, has Putin made a deal with Hillary to give her the election for mega bucks from the Clinton Foundation?

This is WRONG! Don’t they know, only WE are allowed to insert ourselves into other nation’s elections. Like in Israel, France, Brexit, Russia, Australia, and others.
The nerve!!

It would be funny if the alleged culprit was China. Would FReepers make the same excuses?

Election fraud was “never” a possibility until the globalists began to fear losing the American presidency by a fraud-proof margin. Now the the Feds want to control all elections to keep he smelly pesants down.

Ballots or bullets globalists.

Well, it was Obama and Hillary’s job after all to prevent this from happening. If anything, I call it poetic justice, with a touch of blackmail tossed in.

I tried to source the story from "The Peoples Cube", but I couldn't get them to stop laughing, and post it.

Isikoff is no ordinary media liar. He is a bona-fide enemy of America.
