he's not just some guy living in his mother's basement - #7 on the top 10 list https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/spammers/
Oh they hacked the election...let's say they did hack the DNC emails (they did not) but let's say they did. They only exposed they corruption of the DNC. So people are made that someone exposed the corruption in American politics. They did not hack the election even Obama says that impossible. Even used liberal sources. Obama shrugs off Russian hacking -- until Donald Trump elected president - Washington Times Even CNN said it was not possible. It's really tiresome......it's the "hacks election" its also straight from the Media Matters set of talking point. No, the 2016 presidential election can't be hacked - CNNPolitics.com P.S. -Podesta emails were phished and he was a idiot. The DNC refused to hand over their servers to the FBI and would not cooperate in the investigation...seems odd?
Pyotr Levashov's (aka Severa) primary ammo was spamming, not "hacking" although he used botnets. He is a go-between for various facets of internet malfeasance. His "accolades" will creep since he has been apprehended. He will have invaded the moon and ate half of it. The agency will milk this as much as possible. Calling him a programmer is like calling the car salesman a race car driver.
I worked in Cyber Security years and years ago and I told everyone that would listen about the hacking of our networks. At that time, 2008, the two biggest hackers of American networks and in particular DoD networks were; 1. Russia and 2. China. Nobody batted an eye. Now the sky is falling? What the last few years have revealed is just how divorced the Cloud People are from the rest of us. They broadcast instructions to the Dirt People like this, assuming they are received with the same level of enthusiasm with which they were created. In reality, the only people who care are those forever awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of hoof beats. Why, it's almost Red Dawn all over again.
Hmm. Do you think that is funny that some people may suffer from PTSD? Being an ex soldier, i didn't think you would think it was so funny. But I know, you are a tough guy.
I was never a soldier. And, never a tough guy. I'm a trained killer and Marine huge difference. What the hell are you talking about anyway? PTSD? Who? And from What? I assure you I know people suffering from PTSD and have experienced it over and over in my personal life with people that I love. That fact you're trying to get yourself rock hard over this is interesting. I never mentioned PTSD. Never laughed at anything. Never said anything was funny. Stowe the condescending outrage, you're coming across jumbled and incoherent. Frankly, your autist interaction with perfectly comprehensible writing is a bit troubling. Get over yourself.
Very well Cory. Have it your way. I don't care what you or others think of me. This is just a forum after all.
