Russian hackers targeted Ukrainian company at center of impeachment storm: cybersecurity firm

WASHINGTON - Russian military hackers tried to steal emails from the Ukrainian energy firm where Hunter Biden, the son of Democratic U.S. presidential contender Joe Biden, had a seat on the board, an American cybersecurity firm said on Monday.

California-based Area 1 Security identified the hacking of Burisma and linked it to Russia’s Main Directorate of Military Intelligence, or GRU. The same hacking group, known as “Fancy Bear” or “APT28” by cybersecurity researchers, breached the Democratic National Committee in 2016 in what U.S. investigators described as part of an operation to disrupt that year’s election.

What data the hackers were looking to steal is not clear, Area 1 said. Breaching Burisma could yield communications from, to, or about Hunter Biden, who served as a director between 2014 and 2019. A leak of stolen data could potentially affect the impeachment process and the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

Publicly available domain registration records examined by Reuters show that the hackers created the decoy domains between Nov. 11, the day before U.S. Democrats began their first public impeachment hearings, and Dec. 3, the day before the House Judiciary Committee took up the matter. The report gave a limited indication of how Area 1 determined that the lookalike domains were the work of the GRU, pointing mainly to similarities in how the hackers had previously set their digital traps. Area 1 co-founder Blake Darche said unpublished data gathered by his firm linked the operation to a specific officer in Moscow, whose identity he was unable to establish.

But Trump still has no connection with Russian authorities....hmmmm 🤔

Undisputed fact, of course.

Ooh! A drone target outside the middle-east.

I can't wait to read them.

We’ve seen this diversionary tactic before haven’t we? Some call it throwing a curveball. Getting out ahead of inconvenient bad news to lower the impact.

Something bad about Biden is about to come out. They are bracing for impact.

Oh here goes another BSHT Russia story.

😂😂😂

Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia

What kind of color is trump lately? Like a burnt umber?

I don't understand why the people of U.S.has to pass for this ,when they have to stop this....No more Trump!!!

Ordered by Trump.

loooooooool, no one with a functioning brain believe you lot. Without proof? This looks like a poor attempt to cover for QuidProJoe's corrupt practices .

Hackeři jsou tou největší nelegální zbraní na celém světě 🌍

Joe is the one who fucked up here if you ask me... Why ain't nobody talking about that?

This is a form of a man in the middle attack, for those unaware. They can’t plant evidence and they’re not looking to hack or attack a server. It’s similar to a wire tap on a phone line.

NSAGov, at what point are you gonna hack Russia and unfold this giant scandal that intertwined the highest powers in our government? Before the next election would be great and allow for the best chance at keeping our Democracy intact..thanks

Was their server’s password, “Password”?

Hacking to plant evidence?

Why would Russians target Burisma when it's the Biden's who have something to hide.
