If you've been following the Russia case, this @kpoulsen exclusive is a freakin' gold mine. thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
For example... Some of the Russian intel officers indicted by Mueller were hanging out at a hacking conference that featured a competition to cripple a simulated city—attacking its telecom infrastructure, rail lines, and electrical grid. thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
But the craziest year for the conference may have been 2014. Ruslan Stoyanov, who headed the investigations team at Kaspersky Lab, was there. He was later was thrown in prison by the FSB on charges of treason. thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
The star of that year's conference? Alisa Andreevna Shevchenko, who was one of the Russians sanctioned by the Obama administration in retaliation for the GRU’s 2016 election interference campaign. thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
Alisa has said repeatedly that she had nothing to do with the election attacks. US officials never disclosed why they think she worked with the GRU. But now we know she was at the same place at the same time as the GRU official who managed the 2016 hacks. thedailybeast.com/this-hacker-pa…
