Assuming all the details in this story are correct, (checks calendar) this would mean USA 🇺🇸 suffered another ransomware attack from alleged Russian criminals & a Russian Intel agency hack on a political party 2 weeks after the Biden-Putin summit #NotDeterred

As noted in story, was this breach or attempt to infiltrate the RNC by Russian intelligence service coordinated with a diversionary Russian criminal ransomware campaign? Maybe not, would be quite damning if determined
2- if Putin knew of the targeting & approved hacking of RNC post summit, pretty brilliant. Attack the opponent of Biden test American resolve in cyberspace broadly (will 🇺🇸 do anything?) & Test Biden’s commitment defending ‘all’ Americans including GOP used kompromat
Remember, Trump celebrated DNC hacking & rather than defend all Americans he maligned the DNC & Clinton, utilized Kremlin cyber attacks for personal gain. Targeting RNC deliberately requires Biden to protect his political adversaries (he will) but that was not reciprocated
Reminder - Hackers gonna be hacking, maybe they just saw an opportunity & went for it & this round of cyber attacks might be a chain of coincidences. Either way, America has to establish deterrence, sanctions won’t get it done. fpri.org/article/2021/0…
