Even if the attackers try to obfuscate origin, #XKEYSCORE makes following exfiltrated data easy. I did this personally against Chinese ops.

Evidence that could publicly attribute responsibility for the DNC hack certainly exists at #NSA, but DNI traditionally objects to sharing.

The aversion to sharing #NSA evidence is fear of revealing "sources and methods" of intel collection, but #XKEYSCORE is now publicly known.

Without a credible threat that USG can and will use #NSA capabilities to publicly attribute responsibility, such hacks will become common.

This is the only case in which mass surveillance has actually proven effective. Though I oppose in principle, it is a mistake to ignore.

@Snowden So you also condemn Wikileaks for publishing the hacked documents.

@XSovietNews @Snowden so you're saying it's best that knowledge of corruption stay hidden if it negatively affect a political campaign?

@gdofmnstrs @Snowden I would like to know about corruption but without Russian hacking and publishing innocent people's data along with it.

@XSovietNews @Snowden who the hackers are or where they come from makes little difference to me. The personal data is a huge problem.

@XSovietNews @Snowden espionage to influence politics is not new, and is done just as much by the US against Russia as the other way around.

@gdofmnstrs @Snowden For example?

@XSovietNews @Snowden Radio Free Europe, false flag NGO's, etc. There are many tools. I'm sure they use hacking as well.

@Snowden In other words you're trying to cast doubt that Russia hacked the DNC.

@Snowden DNC explicitly said its strategy would be to highlight Russia claim so as to obfuscate content of revelations

@A_Rockas @Snowden Would be convenient for DNC to point at Russia and @wikileaks when Trump has or had connections earlier.

@JustLycis @Snowden @wikileaks when it comes tio @HilaryClinton `s role in the Syria bloodbath/slimy connections with @GoldmanSachs.God help

@A_Rockas @Snowden @wikileaks @HilaryClinton @GoldmanSachs Hillary has Scandals and @realDonaldTrump will make Scandals. God help U.S.

.@JustLycis @A_Rockas @Snowden So the media that colludes with the DNC has you scared of Trump, Lycis. Ok!

@Elftacular @A_Rockas @Snowden Calm down you filthy SJW, I have not even mentioned the word scared and I'm not an American,youshouldbescared

.@JustLycis @A_Rockas @Snowden "Trump is scary" "You're an SJW". Lol, you realize this account is ironic right?
