It looks like Democrats have been efficient as well in their actions to launch the “Russian hacking” attack to seemingly strengthen their own political gain.

The Rep. Jackie Speier of California said so-called Russian meddling “was an act of war, an act of hybrid warfare,” according to a report by the Independent Journal Review. 

A letter which was written by dozens of former intelligence, diplomatic and military officials was addressed to President Barack Obama and concluded that “DNC and HRC servers alleged to have been hacked were, in fact, not hacked.”

Bill Binney, a 35-year NSA veteran and former technical director, said the publication of Hillary Clinton and John Podesta’s emails were the result of an insider leak rather than an external attack. 

The U.S. Government confirms that two different RIS actors participated in the intrusion into a U.S. political party. The first actor group, known as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) 29, entered into the party’s systems in summer 2015, while the second, known as APT28, entered in spring 2016.

This claim is completely unverified, and no evidence has been presented to conclude Russian agents were in fact responsible for the cyber attacks against the DNC or John Podesta. If anything, the evidence indicates the US Government has no idea who was responsible, and is merely assuming it is Russian influences based on past cyber activity witnessed by Russian agents in other countries.

According to Wordfence, an Internet security company, the hacking software or malware used by whoever targeted the DNC and John Podesta is publicly available for anyone to download (http://profexer.name/pas/download.php). The authors of this malware are Ukrainian, and not Russian. Not only is this malware free to download, but the version of the software the DHS/FBI is just now warning the public about is significantly outdated, and newer versions of the software are already available online for free.
