SethAbramson twitterde op dinsdag 21-08-2018 om 23:49:21 I agree with @JeffreyToobin that if Trump weren't president he would be *under indictment right now*. Him being president is the only thing protecting him. And how did Trump become president? We now know he became president partly by committing felonies to cover his bad behavior. reageer retweet

How Microsoft Foiled Russian Hackers Targeting GOP Trump Critics

quote:

Microsoft Corp. has detected and seized web domains created by cyber-attackers linked to the Russian military, in a potential attempt to manipulate and disrupt the U.S. midterm elections.

The shadowy group, known as Strontium, created domains that mimicked organizations such as the International Republican Institute and Hudson Institute so intended victims would believe they were receiving legitimate emails or visiting real sites, Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a blog post. Microsoft said it’s sifting through evidence of the group’s intentions after getting a court order to take over those domains, effectively disrupting the hacking campaign.

The two targeted institutions are conservative bastions, which at times have been at odds with Russia or U.S. President Donald Trump. Russia rejected Microsoft’s accusations that it was attempting to influence upcoming U.S. elections, which will determine control of Congress, Interfax reported Tuesday, citing an unidentified diplomatic official.

Russia is accused of trying to sway the vote in 2016 through disinformation campaigns and targeted hacking, setting in motion a fiery dispute between Trump and Democrats. Even before Microsoft’s warning, top U.S. national security officials had sounded the alarm of further meddling in the midterms. At least three congressional candidates have already been hit with phishing attacks that strongly resemble Russian sabotage two years ago.

Cybersecurity firms Recorded Future and FireEye both said the behavior Microsoft identified is consistent with the group’s past operations. Analysts said they expect to see more operations like this.

Russian foreign ministry on Tuesday denounced as a “witch-hunt” accusations put forward by Microsoft Corp over alleged attempts by hackers linked to Russia’s government to launch cyber attacks on U.S. institutions.

“It is regrettable that a large international company, which has been working in the Russian market for a long time, quite actively and successfully has to take part in a witch-hunt that has engulfed Washington,” the ministry said in a statement.

Microsoft said that hackers linked to Russia’s government tried to carry out cyber attacks on the U.S. Senate and conservative American think-tanks. It accused Moscow of broadening attacks ahead of November’s U.S. congressional elections. (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin Editing by Mark Heinrich)

maggieNYT twitterde op woensdag 22-08-2018 om 01:15:17 Trump folks are worried about impeachment more than before. The thinking goes like this: this is something tangible, not a theoretical. And it didn't come from Mueller. Does not mean it will happen, but this has moved to a different stage in their minds. reageer retweet

SethAbramson twitterde op woensdag 22-08-2018 om 03:00:50 Trump just said the sentence below. Tonight. Having just days ago revoked the former CIA Director's security clearance for criticizing him."You can’t pick one person and say, 'Well, we don’t like what he’s been saying, he's out.'"You can't make this up. reageer retweet

Facebook said on Tuesday that it had identified multiple new influence campaigns on its platform that were aimed at misleading people in different countries and regions. The social network found and took down 652 fake accounts, pages and groups that were trying to sow misinformation.

The activity originated in Iran and Russia, Facebook said. Unlike with past influence operations, which largely targeted Americans, the fake accounts, pages and groups were this time also aimed at people in Latin America, Britain, the Middle East, as well as in the United States, the company said.

The scale of what was uncovered far exceeded that of another influence operation that Facebook revealed last month, in which the company said it detected and removed 32 pages and fake accounts that had engaged in activity around divisive social issues ahead of the midterm elections.

But the aims of the latest campaigns on the social network appeared to be similar to those of past operations: to distribute false news that might cause confusion among people, and to alter people’s thinking to become more partisan or pro-government on various issues.

“We believe these pages, groups and accounts were part of two sets of campaigns,” Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, said in a conference call about the activities late Tuesday. “One from Iran, with ties to state owned media. The other came from a set of people the U.S. government and others have linked to Russia.”
