RUSSIAN HACKER SAYS HE LEFT FINGERPRINTS ON HIS DNC HACK IN BID TO BOLSTER HIS STORY THAT PUTIN ORDERED IT

BY ZACHARY FRYER-BIGGS ON 12/28/17 AT 12:09 PM

A Russian hacker who defied Vladimir Putin by claiming he hacked the Democratic National Committee on orders from a high-level Russian security official now says he planted personal details in DNC servers that can prove he was behind the break-in—a detail that, if true, strengthens his claim about the Russians' meddling in the 2016 election.

Konstantin Kozlovsky, a cyber attacker who had previously claimed he was ordered by a Russian security official to crack the DNC server, told RAIN television that he hid his passport number and visa number for a visit to St. Martin in a data file on the DNC systems so that he could prove his story later, according to McClatchy.

The new detail bolsters Kozlovsky's credibility as he awaits trial in an unrelated bank hacking case. Previously, the Russian security official has denied Kozlovsky's claims—but that official, Dmitry Dokuchaev, is himself being held on secret charges of treason that may be about his alleged role in confirming the DNC break-in to U.S. intelligence officials.

Only the DNC or the cybersecurity companies it used to combat the Russian hacks can confirm Kozlovsky’s claims about the data signature he says he left behind. Federal authorities say they have never had access to the DNC’s servers.

1. Conspiracies are difficult to hide

The GOP mafia will be exposed. Russia and GOP gangsters colluding. What could go wrong in their attempt to hide?

2. let's hope that something sticks to this wall of collusion

and takes this group of evil beings out of our White House

3. fucking tRumpsters wouldn't believe it even if

putin himself said the repubs were DEEPLY INVOLVED

[watoos]

4. So, is the DNC

going to substantiate this? This information is no good unless it is verified, right?

I mean, where's the follow up? Let someone find the fingerprints which would make this story huge.

I'm worn pretty thin arguing with right wingers about how Seth Rich did the hacking.

5. Free advice based on experience...

Resist the urge to hold your breath while waiting for the "fingerprints" you hope for.

6. Problem with 'hiding' something like this is that it COULD be irretrievably lost ...

Servers and their HD's get replaced all the time just as a matter of course ... and once the DNC found out about the hacking, they may very well have decided to destroy all their Server's HD's and start fresh, just in case hackers installed backdoors and the like.

I'm not saying he's for sure telling the truth, but if this 'fingerprint' isn't found it certainly wouldn't prove he's lying, either, unless all their HD's have been quarantined since the 'break-in' or very shortly thereafter.
