US officials: Russian 'digital fingerprints' all over election hacks

Washington (CNN) — Even as President-elect Donald Trump and his aides cast doubt on the links between Russia and recent hacks against Democrats, 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.

Sorry about giving CNN traffic. There is a summary on Red State Watcher for those, like me, who hate giving CNN traffic. I wanted to post the Red State article but it was sourced to CNN so I went for the source (correct me if I'm wrong)

Seriously, they actually said they could trace the digital fingerprints to a specific Keyboard. There is no limit to the extent the left will generate Fake News in an effort to excuse their candidate's performance in the election.

They are still stuck at Anger and Denial. Long way to go until acceptance.

I’m still unclear how you can possibly “hack an election.” The voting machines aren’t connected to the Internet.

Gosh, CNN, this sounds series. What kind of information did the hacks reveal?

And by hack the election - all they mean is someone released DNC true emails, showing the media, RAT corruption. Not hacking voting machines. In other words, doing the job the media claimed they once did.

I would LOVE to see the technical description of how a keyboard, or any input device, leaves a “digital fingerprint”.

100% pure bullsh*t

My bet would be that Obama/DNC/Media insiders have hackers working to try to create “evidence” proving the Russian hack excuse.

This is akin to the hysterical concern too many people on Guam are going to flip the island over.

Hack(s), intrusions, fingerprints ... where's the hanging chad ?!?

Unless you have absolute detailed proof that ANYONE got in and altered the vote away from a drunk that met with the people six times over the course of eighteen months and gave it to Trump ... JSTFU !

Not you Cold War Vet ... WELCOME.

i cannot believe how anti-Trump Barbara Starr is. She is the CNN pentagon reporter - and she is old and vicious.

OK - does the new def sec bring in a new press team. Can they stop making useless comments to her

Many have accepted it and know it will come to nothing, but still push the lie because it suits their other goals.
