Top-Secret NSA Report Details Russian Hacking Effort Days Before 2016 Election

As for the document I saw a blurb on twitter that a 25 year old lady was arrested for removing classified information and forwarding it on to a media outlet. I wonder if this was the documents in question.

Is there a photo of this arrested woman? Picture or it's fake is the mantra.

It's specifically about the systems hacked and by whom... the Russian government, not anything else.

One would think it would include any other systems linked to our political system that were hacked... like the DNC, RNC etc.

Unless this is just one report about one attack on one system.

Who's to say there aren't other top secret reports about supposed attacks on the aforementioned (by you)?

Oh sweet! Anonymous sources!

Nope, the leaker has been arrested and named.

LOL

There's no "sources" named.

I thought Wiki-leaks released material that was the most damaging to the NSA this year.

So did Russia make Hillary win 3 million more votes? Was Hillary Russia's preferred candidate? Trump is bad for Russia in Syria. Really bad. Blocking borders and all that.

That has been staunchly anti-Hillary and absurdly defensive of Russia.

The FBI has arrested the leaker... that's confirmation that the document is real.

Well, this is an interesting development.

The ramifications of this, if it all turns out to be true, are huge.

Lots of egg on a lot of people's faces.

And just who is this leaker? Any names? Identity?

Edited to add. Thanks for more.

Yes on Twitter

Read the thread! LOL

Well this has been confirmed. An NSA contractor was just arrested for leaking the document. CNN is reporting that apparently only six people had seen the document and they determined it was a woman and her name it sounds like is Reality Leigh Winner.

EDIT:

NVM, see it was posted above.

Gotta love the name of the "actor"

"Reality Leigh Winner"

Please.

“If someone has access to a state voter database, they can take malicious action by modifying or removing information,” she said. “This could affect whether someone has the ability to cast a regular ballot, or be required to cast a ‘provisional’ ballot — which would mean it has to be checked for their eligibility before it is included in the vote, and it may mean the voter has to jump through certain hoops such as proving their information to the election official before their eligibility is affirmed.”

I guess this latest revelation will the delay our ability to vote online? Was looking forward to not standing in a long line in 2018 and 2020. Maybe voting online would be more secure, if the same security measures that banks use for transactions were implemented.

Just stop with the deflections.

Add something of substance, instead of trying to paint everything as some asinine conspiracy.

Good point. There may be some good to come out of this.

And so perfect ....

"During that conversation, Winner admitted intentionally identifying and printing the classified intelligence reporting at issue despite not having a ‘need to know,' and with knowledge that the intelligence reporting was classified."

Alright. Reality Leigh Winner. 25 yo. I redact my previous statement. I believe we need more people like this in government to keep it honest, no matter who is in charge. I think honesty with the people should come first. Just like the things that came out about the DNC. I don't care how they come out, as long as they do. For that I would be grateful for Russian interference, even though I can see how it could be a problem in certain other areas.
