Russia falls victim to massive hack which reveals it WAS pulling strings in Ukraine uprising
2016-10-28
[DailyMail] One of Russian president Vladimir Putin's top aides has fallen victim to a massive hack that appears to show close financial and political ties between Moscow and separatist rebels in Eastern Ukraine.

More than a gigabyte of leaked emails were released by a group of Ukrainian hackers from an account used by Putin's adviser Vladislav Surkov.

The cache published by the Ukrainian group CyberHunta reveals contacts between Surkov and the pro-Russia rebels fighting Ukrainian forces.

It also comes as the United States has accused Russia of coordinating the recent hacks of the Democratic party's emails to influence the outcome of the presidential election.

A senior US intelligence official told NBC News the US had 'no role' in the hack.

#2  Ukrainian hackers are among the most active in the world, right up there with the Russians and Chinese. They all deserve each other.

If you can't believe a 'senior US Intel official' or the Director FBI, who can you believe ?
