The NSA and FBI said that Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, known as the GRU, was using a hacking tool code named “Drovorub” to break into Linux-based computers. Linux is an operating system commonly used across computer server infrastructure. The public call-out is unique, said a former Western intelligence official, because of the direct attribution offered by the U.S. agencies. The NSA and FBI connected Drovorub to a specific Russian intelligence team - the 85th Main Special Service Center , military unit 26165.
“Drovorub is a ‘Swiss Army knife’ of capabilities that allows the attacker to perform many different functions, such as stealing files and remote-controlling the victim’s computer,” said Steve Grobman, chief technology officer for cybersecurity company McAfee.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it’s Trump...oh, sorry. He’s a different Russian hack and tool.
Th only reason to reveal a hacking tool is that it doesn’t work very well. It’s a good way to get sime final mileage from your old, useless tools, particularly if you can make them look foreign.
Is it anything like the ones Israeli firms are selling to rights abusers?
Can we start exposing some Chinese hackers? I’m pretty sure they’re doing a better job at stealing our collective lunch in the good ole US of A.
MikePerryavatar I'll have to read this, but hopefully they aren't referring to our president as a tool. Oh...wait. He is the ultimate Russian hacking tool. 🧐
Uncle Vlad's people are smart. They hide well in the crowd.
Does anyone suspect they have the ability to change votes? The margin Trump won by in 2016 always made me suspect there was interference, it was small enough to Not look at but big enough to change a trump loss to a trump win
Malware. Not a hacking tool.
This must be part of what SenBlumenthal was trying to get out. Is it to control the Ivanka voting machines? “The agencies did not say what types of organizations had been compromised by Drovorub.“

Trump will be upset. Not with Russia, with our Intel agencies.
Gary McKinnon hacked all of those alphabet agencies with a tool he downloaded off FrostWire. Their computer networks have abysmal security, most of the tech support for these agencies is outsourced to India, who sell these admin passwords to Chinese, who sell them to Russians.
Is it anything like the one Israeli firms are selling to rights abusers across the world, that they developed with America’s subsidies? DefenseIntel maybe SayHisName CannonHinnant is the American propaganda cia negligently, or hostile created defundCIA
When the current pro Russian govt of the USA is defeated.... we need to teach Russia a very hard lesson!
Off course...Trump okayed it in 2015....he said to them.... JUST LET IT RIP!
😂😂😂 Oh yeah ?
n s a tools are better muahahahah !
Republicans are a national security disaster
trump supporters: fake news!
