Even that "conservative" magazine, Rolling Stone, things something smells in this hacking story.  [/quote]

Thanks for sharing. Good piece. God, some people will believe anything if it's what they want to hear. [/quote]

I am a veteran engineer with internet security experience going back to '97.  I have reviewed the evidence presented by Crowdstrike and the other firms.  It's clearly the work of russian government hackers.  There's no way to prove motive, but it was definitely them.

So frankly I don't care what this music magazine says.  And given what you probably said about their journalistic integrity regarding the campus rape story, you shouldn't be relying on them either.[/quote]

Well, master infosec expert, if you want to discredit the story legitimately, you would do well to realize it's a Matt Taibbi piece, much more than it is a "music magazine" piece. [/quote]

matt taibbi is a critic, not a reporter. all due respect to his rhetorical powers, but if he wants to report he should get off his ass an report. not just sit at his, yes, music magazine, and lob bombs (metaphorical bombs).[/quote]

Huh? A critic? Like a music critic? Are you not familiar with his work? Taibbi is a very well respected journalist and author with extensive Russian experience. [/quote]

Taibbi is a media critic and a political commentator, not a reporter. There's a difference. He lobs bombs at reporters but doesn't do any hard work of reporting. He should get out there if he knows exactly how reporters should report on intelligence matters. [/quote]
