There is increasing evidence linking Russia to the Shadow Brokers leaks, which is "one of the worst security debacles ever to befall American intelligence."

    2 years ago, the Mirai botnet was said to be Russian and set out to influence US elections and take down US online business. By the same sources as these rumours.

    Today we know the Mirai botnet was started by a couple of American students.

    The first was widely reported by MSM. The second fact was hardly reported at all...

    Evidence, in this case, came from Iraeli sources who openly admitted to being criminals, as they breached Kaspersky's servers. The evidence itself mainly consists of screenshots and text files. Any one of us could fake these easily.

    Are those israelis I can hear laughing?
