Re: Is there a crime?
@zzx375: It's not about fake news so much as about actual campaigning activities in the manner of a PAC. The issue, as per the indictment, comes down to them being foreign nationals -- who are prohibited from various electioneering activities/expenditures in the US. There are also allegations in the indictment of bank fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft.

Re: Is there a crime?
It's pretty laughable really - some Ruskies cyberbullied Hillary and stole the election!? Be very careful what you wish for (making it seem way bigger than it was,) because soon the investigation will close and the first thing Trump will do is say the this is one more thing Obama screwed up because the Russian trolling happened on his watch, and The Donald will take credit for fixing Obamas failure for future elections!

Re: Is there a crime?
Your bot-pal zzx375 started this and you actually defend it?  Oh, he's a nice bot, really...

Clinton won the popular vote by over 2+MM votes.  The actual 2016 election outcome was decided by less than 80K votes in 2 states.   To claim that this opinion engineering operation - highly sophisticated - covert - well funded - with known massive effect on numerous previous Euro elections - did not affect the 2016 election outcome is laughable.   

What has changed?  In past years anyone here would understand threats when they see them and defend freedom and its values.    Now we have people who cynically apologize for them.    

Yes, crime was involved.  Thirty seven pages of it.   We are facing serious threats and responsible professionals know it.   If you are feeling sick, perhaps its from too much Faustian deal in your diet. 

 sorry if all this "political" talk hurts your feelings.  Its real and we need to fix it.

Re: Is there a crime?
*huge eye roll

The Clintons lost.  Stop crying about it.  Turn the page. 

I'd be willing to buy that the Russians were trying to weave dissention into gullable Americans but the insinuation that the Russians actively wanted Trump to win is so much left-wing paranoia it makes me sick.  Grow up people. 

I have been a dedicated reader of this site for many years because of its seeminly non-biased, non-political write-ups.   

Has something changed?

Is there a crime?
Is there a crime other than people in this country being stupid and believing everything they read online or in a social media feed?  Unless there are specific laws on the books I suspect this the special prosecutor's way of saying here's what we have, but it isn't much.  How many people post without using their own name?  Nothing to see here.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
