🔥The spies and hackers that targeted us and were indicted by Mueller had something in common. They were at this hacker event🔥 thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
Fancy Bear 🐻 from Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, GRU, were at the conference.
Anatoily Sergeyevich Kovalev with GRU Unit 74455 was there...
💻 Kovalev was busy hacking our election infrastructure and deploying malware in Florida, Illinois, Georgia and Iowa 📡
⚙️⛓🕳GRU officer, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Yershov, attended the Hacking event held in the Kremlin. He configured the X- Agent used for the DNC hack.
Yershov’s commander was Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin who was the Asst. Head of Dept for Russia’s Geopolitical Hacking operation 🌍
⌨️Ruslan Stoyanov was at the conference in 2014 - he was arrested by the FSB on treason charges along w Docuchayev for passing info to the US. Stoyanov headed the investigation team at Kaspersky Lab 🖥
👓 A young security researcher named Alisa Andreevna Shevchenko, was one of the Russians sanctioned by the Obama administration in retaliation for the GRU’s 2016 election interference campaign.
📀Shevchenko AKA Alisa Esage, ran a firm called Esage Lab, and later ZOR Security “Digital Weapons and Defense.” She delivered a talk at 2014 conference on an arcane semi-automated research method called “fuzzing” that, properly done, can rapidly locate software security holes💿
Shevchenko discovered ‘zero-days’ vulnerability in software in critical infrastructure and won first place 🥇
🏭🏗📡🔌💡Although Shevchenko denied any involvement she was in the same place/time as the GRU agents involved and possessed the necessary specific skill set..
💴 💳💵💰Positive Technologies developed a test for remote banking w real banking system analog and included vulnerabilities. It took hackers 4 hrs to steal Rubles. Anatoly Katyushin 🥇 and Omar Ganiev 🥈 won. Katyushin got a job w Kaspersky after the conference...
My, my... The Who’s Who of Russian Intel and Govt were represented at the Hacking conference ...
🛠Banking and infrastructure security issues were at the top of the list of needs for Russia. Just in time to hack the Ukraine and U.S.phdays.com/en/press/news/…
🤔It’s amazing to me that we refuse to address the ease of hacking a voting machine and yet a student - not yet with the GRU- can hack our infrastructure, nuclear plants, railroad, banks, planes... Perhaps we can address this issue without being accused of disinformation⁉️
