Russia Cyber Crime Ecosystem

accept when talkin about spies its hard to be completely verified but occams razor and trends and patterns

j wasnt convinced shadowbrokers was russian

maybe its a real leaker mad at trump

broken english,

trump was lost first few months of first term,

schedule was barren

russia was stoked their guy was in but unhappy at his lack of progress/holding up faustian bargain

pick up artist tactixs we can see the lovebombing from trolls easily

but negging happens too to send covert message/maintain plausible deniability

Russia offers safe harbor to cybercriminals no extradition free reign in exchange for free labor on certain contracts

proxies help russia obscure role and maointain plausible deniability

example evilcorp maksim yakubets FIL is spetnaz rep vympel a (vimpelcom...?)

leaked evilcorp chats show discussion of russian handlers and contracts. spycast? darknet diaries? academic?
