On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI released a joint report about Russian cyberattacks, titled “Grizzly Steppe.” The report had been expected to lay out more details about intelligence agency’s claims that the Russian government was directly linked to hacks on the DNC and other organizations, but security experts have expressed broad disappointment with the report.
Jeffrey Carr, author of Inside Cyber Warfare, wrote on Friday that the report “adds nothing to the call for evidence that the Russian government was responsible” for the campaign hacks. Robert Lee, a former Air Force cyberwarfare officer and cybersecurity fellow at New America, argues that the report is of limited use to security professionals, in part because of poor organization and lack of crucial details.

OBAMA and the DEMS are scrambling. They aren’t used to accountability and scrutiny on their dirty dealings.
“Everyone, especially real experts, know the accusations are all just propaganda garbage by Obama, with no real evidence. “
It’s going to be “very enlightening” during the first weeks of the Trump Administration to see how the tune changes with these “experts.”
If you believed Benghazi was a YouTube video, then believe it was the Russians.
This is right up there with the CIA video of TWA 800.
The CIA involvement in this is starting to stink of a domestic intel op, in that it’s producing pure b*****it propaganda at the domestic audience in efforts to play at politics.
Heads should roll over this.
I talked with several personal friends who are experts over the last few weeks. They were all telling me basically the same thing. Where’s the beef?
I’m glad this is coming to light. I wonder if the MSN is going to report this accurately.
The Laughter is an uproar her at the Military Intelligence School. (Ft. Huachuca, AZ)
Is it fair to assume that the US military will be slow walking anything that 0h!, Bah Ma orders them to do in the next 20 days?
The most important thing we learned during the 2016 election cycle is that the DEMORAT Party lies to us, hence the US government lies to us.
We learned that the presstitutes are in the bag for the Demonrats.
Have you seen any of this pay for play on the evening news? Of course not.
Are the presstitutes going to report the truth? Are you kidding? OF course not.
Fake Hack being reported by Fake Media.
Happy Trump Year
How about IT NEVER HAPPENED......Obama lIstening to Ben Rhodes again.....foolish at the very least.

“If you want to have your mind blown, Freepers REALLY need to take a look at the referenced JAR report that statement of “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity” is based on (https://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/publications/JAR_16-20296.pdf).
There is NOTHING in that report that justifies what was stated in that press release! NOTHING!
That report consists of nothing but a bunch of generalizations except for blathering on about TWO hackers (with flowcharts even) who each sent out a 1,000 phishing emails and tricked a couple of idiots like Podesta into giving them their passwords. Also, note that the “RIS” group the report mentions consists of both civilian and military hackers and the report never says whether the TWO identified hackers are civilians or military.
Literally millions of these kind of phishing emails are sent out every day by thousands of sources around the world, and yet this report mentions TWO guys sending out a couple thousand of these phishing emails. And apparently that justifies kicking trying to start a war with Russia!
The report casually mentions “elections” in a generic list of WORLDWIDE targets but never says anything else about “election” “hacking”.
The final 8 pages of the 13 consist of nothing more than outlines of basic IT security procedures that small businesses like daycare centers and the like should be using; it’s astonishing just how low-level, and basic these security recommendations are, like something copied off of a Security 101 web page. Either our government IT is woefully and pathetically insecure, or this report is utter nonsense.
I seriously doubt this “report” was written by anyone who actually knows anything in our intelligence communities, either that or our intelligence communities have sunk to unimaginable depths of patheticness.
The whole thing looks like some kind of political hackjob whose sole purpose is to look and sound official enough that NYT, WaPo, and the rest of the fake stream media can pretend it’s proof that “Russian hackers got Donald Trump elected as President”.
If/when we see the fake stream media trumpeting this report as some kind of gospel, we’ll know for a fact that the fake stream media really is simply faking the “news”.
Nonetheless, it’s terrifying that Obama would try to start a war with Russia three weeks before leaving office if this is all he’s really got in terms of “proof”. It’s even more terrifying that this kind of complete disinformation is being willingly released against us by the very organizations that are SUPPOSED to be protecting us. And perhaps most terrifying of all is the pathetically amateurish level of this disinformation.
President Trump is truly inheriting government dysfunction of Biblical proportions.”
I now add here:
Meanwhile, NYT, WaPo and all the rest tout this ridiculous report as proof positive that “the Russians hacked the
election to get Donald Trump elected”, naturally without ever having read it, even though it was written at about
a 11th grade level and contained only 5 relevant pages, which distill down to: “two maybe Russian ‘hackers’ sent
out a thousand phishing emails each, and they might be private ‘hackers’ or they might work for the Russian government”.
Curiously this “report” fails to mention that ten thousand other ‘hackers” send out millions of phishing emails every
day and only people as stupid as John Podesta give away their passwords. It also fails to mention that someone hacked the Federal personnel office a year ago and stole ALL of their data, including ALL personal on file for ALL Federal employees!
Even though the report goes on for eight more pages about basic IT security measures copied from some Internet Security 101 website, they fail to mention things like not using private email servers in you bathroom to conduct sensitive government business, and the extremely high likelihood said servers, being less secure even than gmail, were hacked by multiple foreign players.
Facts are irrelevant. It’s like Ferguson. Advance a narrative and stick with it. Goebbels would be proud.
Democrats in cahoots with Big Data have created an AI Bot.
This Bot is what’s making all these incredible decisions and writing these crazy talking points. And they all move in unison. And speak in thematic unison.
And none can figure out why it’s not working because they have ceded all independent thought to the Bot.
I mean, what else can it be...right?
And none can figure out why it’s not working because they have ceded all independent thought to the Bot.
A lot of us understand this and have hacked the bot. GIGO. The data I present to it is complete garbage. (Things like my Facebook account likes guacamole.. The only info on Facebook about me.)
Bookmarking for later. Thanks and Happy New Year.
Like 0bama, the report was a Big Zero! lol
