Now THIS is a really interesting development in #DncHack: @Gawker has & is publishing the DNC's Trump oppo researchhttp://gawker.com/this-looks-like-the-dncs-hacked-trump-oppo-file-1782040426 …

7) Uh oh. This is an unfortunate document for Russia to stolen from under the noses of the DNC.pic.twitter.com/ilrBQBNPXE

9) Better
#opsec in the "NatSec & Foreign Policy" doc. Attackers using VMs to open some (but clearly not all) docspic.twitter.com/WgOeom0Rj7

10) Files from Russian Intelligence Agencies can contain viruses. It's safer to stay in Protected Viewpic.twitter.com/ZNjMZ6LYqr
-
11) Document #5 leaks via tracked changes (thx
@TheCyberSecExp) but it's not very interesting, and likely not hackerpic.twitter.com/jhg4I00pxG
-
12) To clarify: leak is the RU-lang settings, not name (cover name references "Iron Felix" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky …)https://twitter.com/alcebaid/status/743202087601844225 …

13) Another
#opsec fail. (This happened because they did an Export as PDF, and then later saved, w/ lang set to RU)https://twitter.com/daviottenheimer/status/743199165459529728 …

14) Tldr: this "lone hacker" uses many VMs, speaks Russian; username is founder of USSR secret police & likes laundering docs via Wikileaks.

@pwnallthethings note also the smiley used. ))) right after a word is something I closely associate with Russian internet culture. -
@mlowdi@pwnallthethings All Eastern Europeans (those from Ukraine, Romania do it too). However, only those without native English friends. -
@rosyna@pwnallthethings Thanks for pointing that out, I mainly talk to Russians. :) -
@mlowdi@pwnallthethings It may have started in Russia, from chat programs/websites that filtered ":" to avoid JavaScript/hyperlinking -
@mlowdi@pwnallthethings I know of a few older, but *extremely* popular chat apps that filtered out colons, leading to ))) as smileys -
@mlowdi@pwnallthethings I think the idea it's too hard to type shift 6 on Russian keyboards to be absurd. While I KNOW colons were stripped -
@rosyna@pwnallthethings that explains it much better, yeah. :) -
@mlowdi@pwnallthethings And then, when it became tradition and the original reason was gone, the ))) remained and spread to neighbors.

@pwnallthethings The key is the "highly)))". Only young Eastern Europeans do that kind of smiley. -

@pwnallthethings Bragging about finding a donor list? They have to disclose that list regularly - Show more
