So, now that "the West" has the appropriate software, is "the West" hacking everyone's computers? OF COURSE IT IS! Like I said:

We hack
They hack,
He, she, it hacks
Everybody hacks

Governments hack to gather strategic information. To know what the other guy is up to.

What is different with what Russia is doing, is that they are acting out on that information and, creating false information as well to effect an outcome in America and within the countries of our allies as well.

What was different about China's hacking? They were stealing private information ( corporate secrets, technology ) from corporations for personal gain.

Uh huh. Yanno, Assange has said over and over that the DNC information came from an insider ... someone with legal access to the info. Meanwhile, although the ODNI huffs and puffs about "Russian hacking" it has yet to either name the person who gave Wikileaks the info, or place that person under arrest. Why not?

A senior Russian intelligence officer and cybersecurity investigator arrested last month on treason charges allegedly was passing information to U.S. intelligence services, according to Russian media outlets.

Sergei Mikhailov, who worked for the FSB, the successor to the KGB, was arrested in December, along with Ruslan Stoyanov, a top manager for Russia's largest cybersecurity firm, according to the economic newspaper Kommersant. Stoyanov was also charged with suspicion of treason.

In addition, two other people, including Major Dmitry Dokuchaev, also an FSB officer, were arrested in connection with the case, according to Russia's REN-TV. The fourth person was not identified.



Stoyanov allegedly developed a program introduced into a prominent bank's computer system to gather privileged information on customers, REN-TV reports. That information, it reports, was then sold to the West.

In another twist, Russian media says the FSB believes Mikhailov tipped U.S. intelligence about Vladimir Fomenko and his server rental company "King Servers." The U.S. cybersecurity company Threat Connect identified King Servers last year as an "information nexus" used by hackers suspected of working for Russian intelligence in cyberattacks on electoral systems in Arizona and Illinois.
