A Russian hacker accused of stealing from Russian banks reportedly confessed in court that he hacked the U.S. Democratic National Committee (DNC) and stole Hillary Clinton's emails under the direction of agents from Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).

According to Russian news site The Bell, Konstantin Kozlovsky, a Russian citizen working for a hacker group called Lurk, confessed to hacking Clinton's emails during a hearing about his arrest in August. An audio recording and minutes from the hearing were posted on Kozlovsky's Facebook page, and their authenticity was reportedly confirmed by The Bell.

In a handwritten letter that also appears in a photo on his Facebook page, Kozlovsky admits to hacking the DNC on the orders of an FSB agent he called "Ilya."

    You seem to have replied to the wrong message there.

        And a disproportionately large amount of it spews from your keyboard, Uzzard. Might wanna get that checked. I'm starting to wonder if you're actually one of those two-layer sea creatures with a single orifice for eating and excreting, rather than an actual bird of carrion.

          Yeah, I know I manage to butthurt a lot of True Believers, snowflakes, and third-wave feminists. The truth is to them as soap is to hippies.

            Er...you mean it comes in these big plastic bottles with obscure, schizophrenic-sounding quasi-religious writing on it...? Help me out here.

              That wasn't for you to understand. I know you're severely handi-capable when it comes to comprehension. You were just a handy foil. Don't worry though, everyone else got it.

                Dre. Bronner's soap for the win! Dilute, dilute...

                See the guy below you gets it. You apparently have never heard of Dr. Bronner's. You should use it; it's an excellent value, fair-trade, works really well, and if you translate the label from gibberish to English it's some surprisingly enlightened if rather basic treatises on reciprocal morality.

                Not, of course, that you could comprehend such a thing. Every time you post you go lower and lower, and everyone can see it. You're reading Moore-esque levels of self-inflicted grotesquery, Uzzard. And I can't even bring myself to feel pity for you any longer.
