Thomas Rid: How Russia Pulled Off the Biggest Election Hack in U.S. History
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics...mails-hacked/#
THIS story does not cover though the massive Russian intrusion into three US State election databases over a period of several weeks....and the amount of personal ID data that has been compromised is not being identified by those States....

Even in the face of the immigrant wave into Germany and the Greek debt bailout Merkel has never fallen below 45% in popularity........
Even she fully recognizes Russian info warfare....

If you don't like the lies with which #Putin's agitprop tries to manipulate the electorates in the EU, you are not a democrat!

Neo-Nazi/white supremacist Richard Spencer’s wife is a Russian propagandist with allegiance to Putin
http://ow.ly/HkUK306wrBf
She is an active Russian social media troll.
BTW...she is directly related to the ultra Russian nationalist ideologue Dugin an closedvisor to Putin....
There is an old Stasi term that Americans investigating the fake news phenomenon may want to Google:
"Zersetzung"
USA Nazi wunderkind Richard Spencer admits he was married /w Nina Kouprianova aka Nina Byzantina, now separated.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...d3_story.html#
THIS is interesting as it gives this Russian troll a US Green Card...there was an interesting twitter posting recently where one Russian ultra nationalist troller ie neo Nazi was boasting to his counterparts back in Moscow about his ability to get a Green Card...
I just keep pounding away on this theme....all Russian and Iranian non linear warfare is all intertwined now.....whether in eastern Ukraine....the US elections....Syria....the EU and coming German elections...ALL intertwined when Russian info warfare and Russian cyber warfare are involved.....
Cyber warfare and info warfare are the two key cornerstones to a successful Russian non linear war....regardless where it is....
We now see the Russian cyber attacks across Europe picking up and directly striking say German infrastructure ..ie yesterday which kept my company and others jumping through hoops to backtrack the Russian activities which was in fact determined much to the surprise of the Russian hackers...we in the West now fully understand just how to track them.....we tracked down to the malware they inserted...where...when and how...the question becomes at some point if a nation state does not retaliate in kind the other side Russia feels totally free to continue as they seem no pushback...that was the inherent failure by the Obama WH when the US IC definitely identified Russian hacking in the US election process.
Proud to say Brandenburg was defended well if one looks at the outage map..Berlin took a hit..but that was it even though DT controls the vast network infrastructure around Berlin.
AND do not think the Iranians do not work with a non linear concept....
SO what was the cost of the outage to the sales of CyberMonday companies....MILLIONS of Euros in lost sales....Deutsche Telekom confirmed that more than 900,000 routers began to have serious problems connectivity problems due to a cyber attack.
More than 900,000 routers belonging to Deutsche Telekom users in Germany were not able to connect to the Internet due to an alleged cyber-attack.
The affected routers were used by the Deutsche Telekom customers also for fixed telephony and TV services.
The problems lasted at least two days, the outage began on Sunday, November 27, at around 17:00, local time.
Deutsche Telekom users all over the country were not able to connect online using the routers provided by the company.
Deutsche Telekom didn’t provide further technical details about the alleged cyber attack either the affected router models.
It is not clear which is the threat that compromised the#Deutsche Telekom routers, experts speculated the involvement of a malware that could have#prevented equipment from connecting to the company’s network.
'Security experts from#ISC Sans#published an interesting report that revealed a significant#increase in scans and exploitation attempts for a SOAP Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability via port 7547 against Speedport routers.
This specific model of routers is widely used by Deutsche Telekom for German users.
“For the last couple days,#attack#against#port 7547#have increased substantially. These scans appear to exploit a vulnerability in popular DSL routers.
This issue may already have caused severe issues for German ISP Deutsche Telekom and may affect others as well (given that the US is just “waking up” from a long weekend). For Deutsche Telekom, Speedport routers appeared to be the main issue.”#added#the ICS SANS.#
“According to Shodan, #about 41 Million devices have port 7547 open. The code appears to be derived from Mirai with the additional scan for the SOAP vulnerability. Currently, honeypots see about one request every 5-10 minutes for each target IP.”
According to the ICS SANS report, it seems that attackers tried to exploit a common vulnerability in the TR-069 configuration protocol. Experts highlighted the availability of a#Metasploit module#implementing the exploit for this vulnerability.
An unconfirmed List of vulnerable routers includes the Eir D1000 Wireless Router (rebranded Zyxel Modem used by Irish ISP Eir) and the Speedport Router (Deutsche Telekom).
Of course. when dealing with#IoT devices#and cyber threats, the most dreaded malware is the#Mirai bot#that was recently involved in several massive#DDoS attacks.
According to#BadCyber, the responsible is the Mirai botnet that was designed to#exploit Eir D100 (Zyxel Modems) via port 7547.
“TR-064 protocol is based on HTTP and SOAP and its default port is TCP 7547. Commands are sent as POST requests to this port.”#states#the BadCyber.#
!The malware itself is really friendly as it closes the vulnerability once the router is infected. It performs the following command:
busybox iptables -A INPUT -p tcp –destination-port 7547 -j DROP
busybox killall -9 telnetd
which should make the device “secure”, unless until next reboot. The first one closes port 7547 and the second one kills the telnet service, making it really hard for the ISP to update the device remotely.”
Included also is the US outage map from the last Russian cyber attack which was a massive DDoS attack...to remind us that we tend to have a very short memory.

Old and new US Syrian FP....
when facts don't matter...
AND information warfare marches on.....whether in the US or driven by Russia itself....
“Fake News Is Not the Only Problem” by @gilgul
https://points.datasociety.net/fake-...cb#.48aafeppl#
This article is well worth reading and then rereading one more time as it is the basis for the new "Post Truth era" we are currently in where truth no longer matters....that is just how successful propaganda and disinformation has become....in Europe as well as in the US.....
It actually has become quite difficult to counter Russian info warfare simply by using "the truth" backed up by facts...as we have seen especially lately in the US....facts no longer matter...it is the person with the loudest voice throwing the challenge I am going to lie...SO disprove I am lying that has taken hold in the US and especially even more so in Europe....
We saw this yesterday and today with a series of Trump twitter rants....blatantly all lies but his challenge to MSM was "prove me wrong'.....very typical from virtually all statements coming lately from the Russian FM on say eastern Ukraine or Syria or on the US elections.....or even from Putin himself.....
With Russian statements it is now common to treat them as a lie ONLY when they deny something..THEN what they deny as a lie is in fact "the truth"....

I have merged several small threads into this one, plus a larger thread which was in the Europe arena.
One thread remains as a 'stand alone' a failed Russian info operation in Germany, Operation Liza:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=23567
This thread has been renamed as Russian Info, Cyber and Disinformation (Catch all till 2017).
A new thread will appear, with the same title, but 2017 onwards.
