The Spy Who Added Me on LinkedIn
Anyone else feel that if the Russians really wanted to influence the election, the actual methodologies used and people targeted were not that impressive or well thought through? I mean it was hardly Stuxnet.<p>If your wanna change an election why not hack a wider range of targets? I know that &quot;Who gains most?&quot; is one of the best ways to attribute blame in the intelligence world but I have not (like the North Korea &#x2F; Sony hack) seen evidence that even nearly proves it was a hack directed by the Russian Government. Possibly a malicious sympathiser but hardly state level techniques...<p>Also, how slow and useless are the NSA that they weren&#x27;t watching to protect senior people in one of the two major parties in the country? If so many intelligence folks are as sure as they claim to be that it&#x27;s the Russians, where is the counter-response?
