#2 The report this as if it's news. It isn't. It's been going on for years and it isn't just the Russians either. Why don't these headlines ever mention Chinese hackers who are far and away more prolific than Russians ever dreamed of being?

#3 Russian hacking?

Forgive me but for some reason I was thinking about the Awan bros, HRC's bathroom closet server and state secrets, Brennan's spying on Dianne Feinstein's Senate Intelligence Committee and lying, Benghazi and lying, fake charities for personal gain, Uranium 1, Dem election rigging, George Soros, human trafficking, MSM propaganda and walking outside for fear the sky is falling.

#5 Focus on the popular Russians and maybe not so many will look at Microsoft.

#6 I'd wager that most "Russian hacking" claims are the result of finding .ru domains in web server error logs as a result of script kiddies playing their script kiddie games and not from foreign intel services.
