Matt Drudge Claims Obama Adminstration Behind Drudge Report Shutdown

[44nutman]

I like how Drudge framed it as a question, and the rubes bought it as Drudge having some kind of proof that the government was behind it.
A DDOS attack, there is some cheeto fingered 15 year old laughing his ass off right now.

 

[TheStruggle]

A lot of people gave American voter more credit than they apparently deserved. The fact enough people would be ignorant and stupid enough to vote for trump left the rest of the world stunned, not to mention you had to be a terrible judge of character to vote for him. America basically announced to the world that blatant sexism, racism and stupidity represent thier country.

Ok HuffPo...

 

[Rational Poster]

So the evidence he presents is that it tickles his funny bone. Hmm.. Looks like Drudge has a whole shitload less material to support his accusation than Obama had when he called out Russia for their involvement originally, yet it doesn't appear that's going to deter the usual suspects from swallowing this story on the first pass while they refused to believe Obama in spite of an overwhelming consensus from the private sector's cybersecurity specialists that Obama and his intelligence agencies were almost certainly telling the truth, and were correct about who did it.

Fun, fun, partisan times; when rather than investigate the merits of a claim the OP's are constantly framing every issue as conservative vs. liberal to rally the resident choir for a good mornin' preach.

Look, I can understand being sceptical of government intelligence agencies. I really can. It's their job to be dishonest and deceitful.

But when you have guys like Eric Chien coming out and saying quite plainly.. yes it was the Russians.. It was the fucking Russians. Eric Chien exposed Stuxnet to the world against the will of the US government. I really don't think he's got a horse in either race. He's just an honest tech nerd who is at the top of his craft.

And then there is Congress. The same Congress who would unanimously call Obama a pussy for respecting the culture of other world leaders by doing things like bowing, didn't bat a fucking eye lash when Obama ejected 35 "diplomats" and closed their "dachas".

There are too many competing interests coming together here for there not to be something there.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

The evidence is classified and 17 unnamed agencies back it up, you just have to believe Obama when he says it.

Also that wikileaks works for the Russian gov't.

 

[TheStruggle]

Also that wikileaks works for the Russian gov't.

Also Russia hacked e-mails that were actually leaked from Podesta and Weiner...also don't forget that the FBI also helped Russia as well.

The Republican party of the US has some of the least intelligent politicians in history, they revel in thier ignorance and have become anti-facts and anti-truth. Because reality doesn't back up the talking points a sector of the right are now into conspiracy theroies, also known as fairy tales for adults. At least fairy tales have some didatic point to them.

Keep calling half the country, and keep running your campaigns based on "that guy is racist, sexist, and stupid". Please, keep doing it. The dems still have a handful of positions in Congress, and I'd love to you guys lose those at mid-terms and 2020 also.

Also that wikileaks works for the Russian gov't.

That's not the claim. Russia used a state sponsored third party to release information, the same thing they always do because it gives you credible deniabilty. When assange says he didn't get info from the Russian government he's technically telling the truth and may not know who procured the information in the first place.

He is racist, sexist and stupid. Why should I ignore those parts of his character? He's also a lifelong liar and conman.

Anyone who voted for him either didn't know much about him or chose to overlook these aspects of trumps character for God knows what reason.

Also, not even close to half the country.

Wikileaks has said that their source is in our own government.

 

[Madmick]

Still more credible than 'Russia hacking the election' (whatever that even means at this point). At least Drudge have provided some actual evidence of the electronic trail and thumb print of DDoS activity. As for Russian hacking, you just have have to be a good citizen, don't question your leaders and take their word for it, just like with Saddam and his WMD's lmfao.

Actually, Drudge didn't provide an iota of evidence to support even his vague allegation of "suspicious IP activity". Not a shred.

Meanwhile, below are some posts I made about this over a month ago trying to explain the digital trail leading to the Russians (as well as obvious fumbles such as the claim from "Guccifer 2.0" that he was a Romanian hacker immediately before he failed to muster a response to questions asked when the interviewers switched from English to Romanian in real-time). The material released by the FBI and the NSA this week corroborated all of this sleuthing.

Alleged Guccifer 2.0 hack of Clinton Foundation raises suspicions

But there are a number of red flags that suggest the documents are in fact from a previous hack on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), not a new hack on the Clinton Foundation.

A spot check of some of the people on the donor list against FEC filings found that they all lined up with DCCC contributions.

The Clinton Foundation discloses its donors, and many of the alleged donors published by Guccifer 2.0 do not appear to have given to the organization.

One spreadsheet was allegedly created by a Kevin C. McKeon at DCCC in 2009. There was a Kevin McKeon that worked at DCCC at that time.

The hacker or hackers known as Guccifer 2.0 has previously leaked apparently legitimate documents from breaches at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the DCCC.

But last month he published a spate of files he claimed were stolen from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that in fact appeared to be repurposed from the DCCC hack.

Those documents also appeared to be consistent with what Guccifer 2.0 would have found on the DCCC server. Only one document concerned Pelosi, a "year in review" memo about fundraising numbers — the kinds of donation statistics that would likely be shared with the DCCC.

Guccifer 2.0 claims to be a lone Romanian hacker, but the near totality of the intelligence and security communities take as fact that Guccifer 2.0 is a cover identity for Russian intelligence.

https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/04/clinton-foundation-denies-hack-claims-by-guccifer-2-0/

No secret was made of the political motivation of the supposed hack, and the author even included a shout-out to Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Both were widely criticized earlier this year for releasing what many considered to be private information of citizens alongside the revealing internal emails of the DNC.

Experts have speculated that the hacker in question is in fact allied with — if not outright controlled by — Russian intelligence. That would make this the latest entry in a low-key cyber-skirmish likely aimed at affecting the outcome of next month’s election.

It's not the Clinton camp I quoted. It was The Hill, a highly respected and staunchly conservative journalistic body in D.C. that reports strictly on political matters. Here, verify with the Conservapedia:

The Hill is a conservative newspaper and website founded in 1994. They are located in Washington D.C. and are a subsidiary of News Communications.

It makes it clear that the hacks are almost certainly not legit, and that the hacker in question, Guccifer 2.0, is an alias for a collective of Russian hackers. Techcrunch, an online news website that specializes in tech coverage, and doesn't have a reputation for a political character, corroborates this.

After DNC leaks, Obama hints at possible motive for Russia to help Trump

President Obama on Tuesday waded into the controversy over the leak of Democratic National Committee emails, saying the hack of party records was characteristic of Russian government behavior and suggesting a potential motive for that country to meddle in the U.S. presidential election.

“What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems, not just government systems but private systems,” Obama told NBC. “What the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that — I can’t say directly. What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin.”

Obama’s comments align with those made Sunday by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, who said the Russian government was behind last week’s release of DNC documents on the website WikiLeaks as a way to help Trump.

This is where you fail to understand how "evidence" works. That is merely evidence that the Intelligence community will cast the allegation that Russia did this. If Russia did this, which is the most likely possibility, as has been confirmed by tech bloggers and security specialists who have reviewed details of the hacks, then what else can they say and not be victims of your self-fulfilling corruption allegation? Hell, Putin has openly mocked the DNC with a finger on his nose and a smirk on his face. He's isn't even pretending to hide his gloating.
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...at-we-know-about-russias-role-dnc-email-leak/

"The consensus that Russia hacked the DNC is at this point very strong, albeit not unanimous," said cybersecurity consultant Matt Tait, who has been critical of Clinton’s email practices. "The consensus that Russia hacked the DNC in support of Trump is, by contrast, plausible, but something for which the jury at this stage is very much still out."

That wasn't your claim. Your claim implies that the Democrats are falsely smearing a presumably non-Russian (Romanian) hacker by asserting that he is Russian. This would entail that you can confirm the identity of the hacker and that he isn't Russian. You have provided no evidence of this.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

And there's proof it's the Russian government?

Far, far, far more than the assertion that it is anyone else.

Here's a New York Times piece on the matter. It's not just the USA who believes this, but dozens and dozens of private sector cybersecurity firms/analysts, including those in Europe:
Why Security Experts Think Russia Was Behind the D.N.C. Breach

The first hints came in May, after committee officials noticed unusual activity in their network. They hired the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike to investigate, and its experts quickly found the source of the activity: a group of hackers had, in late April, gained access to the systems of the committee’s opposition-research team, from which the group had stolen two files containing information on Donald J. Trump, who would eventually become the Republican nominee for president.

The investigators determined that the hackers were part of APT 28, a group well-known among cybersecurity experts. The name is short for advanced persistent threat, which usually refers to government hackers. Security firms and law enforcement officials have also used the name Fancy Bear, a reference to a widespread belief that the group is run by Russia’s military intelligence agency, the G.R.U.

The investigation might have ended there, but CrowdStrike discovered another, better-hidden infiltrator in the computers of the Democratic committee: A group known as APT 29, or Cozy Bear, which is considered more skillful and has been linked to the F.S.B., the main successor to the K.G.B.

Cozy Bear, it seemed, had had complete access to the committee’s systems for almost a year. (Subsequent investigations by two other cybersecurity firms confirmed CrowdStrike’s findings.)...

For example, the first group, APT 28, often uses the same tactic: registering a domain whose name is similar to that of its target, to trick users into disclosing their passwords when logging into the wrong site. In this case, hackers set up misdepatrment.com — switching two letters — to target users of MIS Department, which manages networks for the Democratic committee.

More tellingly, the hackers linked this domain to an IP address they had used in previous breaches, giving investigators a way to look for patterns. They also used the same malware tools, which sometimes included unique security or encryption keys, a kind of digital fingerprint. Those fingerprints were found in other attacks, like a 2015 breach at Germany’s Parliament, which German intelligence officials said Russia, specifically APT 28, had probably carried out.

Both APT 28 and APT 29 use methods “consistent with nation-state level capabilities,” according to a CrowdStrike report, and they target foreign militaries and military contractors in a pattern that “closely mirrors the strategic interests of the Russian government.”

Another report, issued by the security firm FireEye in July 2015, pointed out that the hackers had seemed to go offline on Russian state holidays, and had appeared to operate during hours consistent with the Russian workday.

The coincidence of "Guccifer 2.0":

Within 24 hours, someone using the name Guccifer 2.0 had opened a WordPress blog and made a far-fetched claim: He, not Russia, had been responsible for the Democratic committee breach, and he had done it alone.

He also said he had stolen thousands of internal emails, the first public mention of such a theft. He provided evidence, posting a series of stolen documents and leaking others to news outlets, as well as to WikiLeaks. His name, he said, was a homage to a famous Romanian hacker who went by Guccifer and who has been in prison since 2014.

But Guccifer 2.0’s documents, while authentic, contradicted his claims that he had acted alone — and provided evidence of Russian state involvement. Some files, for example, included metadata showing they had been opened by computers set to the Russian language. Another had been modified by a word processor registered to Felix Edmundovich, rendered in Cyrillic script, a clear reference to Felix E. Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet secret police.

Guccifer 2.0 made himself available to journalists, which is not something criminal hackers often do. He insisted that Russia had not infiltrated the Democratic committee, an odd claim because he would have had no way of knowing. When discussing how he had committed the breach, his comments were inconsistent and, according to cybersecurity experts, showed insufficient technical knowledge to understand — much less carry out — the attacks.

He also claimed to be Romanian, but was unable to hold a conversation in that language when prompted by a reporter from the technology site Motherboard. But if Guccifer 2.0 was not whom he said he was, how had he acquired thousands of documents stolen from the committee? And why did he lie?

ThreatConnect, a security analysis group, concluded that Guccifer 2.0 “most likely is a Russian denial and deception (D&D) effort” meant to cast doubt on Russian responsibility for the hack. It later found metadata in Guccifer 2.0’s emails suggesting he had sent them from Russian networks, as well as some parallels with networks used by ATP 28, the Russian group.

The theory, widely shared by cybersecurity analysts, is that the Russian intelligence agencies, once exposed by the June report in The Washington Post, constructed Guccifer 2.0 to distract from those accusations. The thinking behind such methods is detailed in Russia’s formal military doctrine, which calls for deception and disinformation, often through so-called information operations, to sow confusion and maintain deniability.

Motherboard, btw, is a source that tends to cover more obscure technical aspects of these stories. They were the ones whose coverage both confirmed that it was extremely unlikely that Apple's encryption could be broken by giving out their "keychain" to the US Government following San Bernardino, but simultaneously reported half a dozen stories establishing how there was not only a manner of possibility in which it could be exploited, but that there was ample enough precedent to justify Apple's indignation. This is even more comprehensive and goes into more technical depth than the NYT article above:
All Signs Point to Russia Being Behind the DNC Hack

Cliff Notes article below that quotes yet further independent, private sector IT cybersecurity specialists concurring with these analyses:

http://www.csoonline.com/article/30...e-wolf-were-likely-behind-the-dnc-breach.html

The malware
The breach began as far back as last summer and involved malware previously used by two hacking groups known as Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.

Both are thought to be based in Russia and considered among the best hacking teams in the world, said Michael Buratowski, a senior vice president with Fidelis Cybersecurity, which was called in to examine the malware in the DNC attack.

Not just anyone could have pulled off the attack, he said. For instance, the malware used to breach the DNC networks is relatively rare and highly developed.

A hacker would need significant expertise to properly customize and deploy the code, something no amateur “script kiddie” would possess, he said.

A growing pattern
Another big reason for suspecting Russian hackers is the target itself and what was stolen -- the attackers wanted information related to political campaigns and foreign policy plans. Cybercriminals are typically more interested in financial data such as credit card numbers, noted Ben Johnson, chief security strategist for Carbon Black.

This fits with the pattern of Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear, whose past victims include the White House and the U.S. State Department, in addition to businesses in defense, energy and aerospace. Email systems of top U.S. officials have also been among their targets.

It's difficult to definitively link a hacker group to a government, but security firms have made a connection to Russia by examining attack patterns over a long period of time, said Mark Arena, CEO of security firm Intel 471.

For example, past attacks by Fancy Bear show consistent use of the Russian language in developing its malware. Their targets have included NATO and Eastern European governments, with a focus on stealing political and military data, as opposed to intellectual property -- more typically a target of Chinese hackers.

it wouldnt be hard at all to pull up the logs from the website with a few originating from government or affiliates, and calling it an attack from Obama, same with what obama has done with russia.......

1. Matt's claim that Obama shut down his site is just that...a claim

2. You are overlooking two very important details when you dug up these old posts. First, Obama recently claimed the initial Russia hack started over a year ago which contradicts the statement he made in July as well as the timeline of his meeting with Putin back in September where he claimed the hacks stopped. Second, the Guccifer 2.0 hack is not related to the claim that Russia was the source of the Wikileaks e-mails from Podesta and Weiner. The leaks in the latter stages of the election came from John Podesta NOT Guccifer, the initial DNC leak was about the collusion of the DNC leaders with Hillary Clinton during the primaries.



So when the democrats claim that Russia 'hacked' the election, they are blaming Russia for EVERY bit of leaked information and e-mail that has come out since the Democratic Convention while claiming they have evidence of Russian Interference well before 2015. So when you can't get your own story straight and you refuses to present prove of your claim...people will have a hard time believing you.

US Government Attacks Drudge Report? Conservative Website Down Because Of Distributed Denial Of Service Attack, Matt Drudge Tweets


A tweet from conservative media icon Matt Drudge's verified Twitter account Thursday night appeared to accuse the government of interfering with his website, DrudgeReport.com, just hours after the Barack Obama administration announced new sanctions against Russia over election hacking.

"Is the US government attacking DRUDGE REPORT? Biggest DDoS since site's inception. VERY suspicious routing [and timing]," the tweet to Drudge's 457,000 followers read. There were no other tweets from the account at the time.

A large-scale distributed denial of service attack, or DDoS, can cause major Internet disruptions. In the past, such attacks have shut down major websites such as Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr, and Reddit. The attack sends a server many illegitimate requests to make it hard for real requests to get through, effectively shutting down the site.

Drudge Report was down briefly around 7 p.m. EST, but working hours later. The top headline read: "MOSCOW MOCKS OBAMA 'LAME DUCK'" Meanwhile, the conservative Washington Times wrote: "Matt Drudge suggests U.S. government cyberattack on Drudge Report website. DDoS attack comes same day Obama announced countermeasures against Russia for hacking of Democrats."

Conservatives on Twitter also accused the government of shutting down the Russian news website, RT. "Numerous reports of Russian state-run Network RT being unavailable. Drudge Report also under 'Biggest DDoS attack since site's inception,'" wrote one user.


http://www.ibtimes.com/us-governmen...tive-website-down-because-distributed-2467391

Trash website down because of DDoS attack. OF COURSE this is the sort of thing Obama would personally sanction, and government employees would carry out.

Let's see here:

1. Security briefings;
2. Cabinet meetings;
3. Attend press function;
4. Attend gala function;
5. Travel to meeting with foreign leader;
6. More security briefings;
7. More cabinet meetings;
8. More press functions;
9. More galas;
10. TAKE DOWN DRUDGE REPORT.

There it is. I found it!

People are so fucking stupid.

BS .

Just unsubstantiated dribble that is meant to preach to the choir . Since when has the US gov ever engaged in DDOS on a domestic website?

Where is the evidence?

Alex Jones is saying he's getting the same ddos attacks.

The Obama administration is trying to shut down non state controlled media while screwing over Israel and provoking a war with Russia.

Obama is a treasonous enemy to the American people. Case closed.

Screwing over Israel? You have it assbackwards. Obama is just keeping to the traditional US line on settlements. Israel has been screwing the US for a long time now, from stealing Nuclear material to the attack on the USS liberty to Jonathan Pollard to manipulating the US to invade Iraq.

What about Eisenhower telling Israel to get out of Sinai or face sanctions.

United States
" An opinion by a legal adviser to the U.S. Department of State found the settlements contrary to international law in 1978. On April 21, 1978, Legal Adviser of the Department of State Herbert J. Hansel issued an opinion, on request from Congress, that creating the settlements "is inconsistent with international law", and against Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.[47] Hansell found that "[w]hile Israel may undertake, in the occupied territories, actions necessary to meet its military needs and to provide for orderly government during the occupation, for the reasons indicated above the establishment of the civilian settlements in those territories is inconsistent with international law."[48][49] This opinion, "has neither been revoked or revised",[47] and remains the policy of the United States according to Hansel, The Washington Post, and the Rand Corporation's Palestinian State Study Project,[50] and Secretary of State John Kerry.[51] The Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter,[52] and Obama administrations all publicly characterized the settlements as illegal."

You Christian rightwingers are soo biased and selective with the truth, vis-a-vis blaming Obama for his Israel policy.
