Where it gets more damning (it's hard to believe that's possible) is that Stopfake's propaganda effort to directly affect the towns where people were caught targeting Ukrainian artillery is being funded by the British Embassy in Ukraine.
Obviously, neither the UK government or MI5 place any weight in the Russian hacking story. Otherwise, why spend money on this effort targeting propaganda at the specific area named by Ukraine's SBU.
To make matters worse for the FBI and DNI, Radio Liberty is helping to start the anti-targeting propaganda effort. Keep in mind that Radio Liberty is managed by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). The US Secretary of State John Kerry is a board member. Didn't anyone tell him by dealing with the real problem, he was destroying the Russian hacking story so the real situation could be managed?
In the last article which is linked at the top, the penetration testers at Wordfence tested the uniqueness of the other tool Crowdstrike uses for identification called Grizzly Steppe. What they found was a Ukrainian-made malware that is outdated and a common hacking tool for Wordpress websites. It cannot perform like Crowdstrike claims it does. This destroys the cyber-security giant's story.
Without any evidence, Crowdstrike wrote the report the "Russians did it." They, in turn, gave it to the FBI, CIA, DNI, and whoever else would listen. Today, both Crowdstrike and the Ukrainian hackers are the only groups known that have the X-Agent tool.
Did the Bernie Sanders campaign get "berned" by Crowdstrike? In December 2015, Sanders filed suit against the DNC because the DNC froze access to voter data. The freeze came as a result of Crowdstrike's fiDNIngs that Sanders staffers supposedly improperly accessing Clinton data files. Sanders accused the DNC of flagrantly favoring Clinton.
Why did the lawsuit get dropped? Crowdstrike investigated it and Sanders was convinced to drop the suit. Should Crowdstrike have notified Sanders that they had conflicts of interest?
Unless you are in the FBI, CIA, or DNI, the Russian hacking story doesn't make any sense based on the facts. The facts say Crowdstrike supplied fraudulent evidence to the US government. Even the Ukrainians don't want to be standing next to Crowdstrike when the truth comes out. Perhaps someone should investigate Crowdstrike and the Ukrainian hackers.
The next question is when did Clinton hire Crowdstrike and why? We know that Clinton paid around $1 million to internet trolls to turn Sanders supporters. How much money went into the Russian hacking story? We know that the Russian hacking story gained Crowdstrike a lot more revenue. But before all this happened:
According to Fortune "Between 2013 and 2014 its(Crowdstrike) revenue grew 142% and its customer base more than tripled, two reasons Google Capital (GOOG, +1.53%), the tech giant's growth equity arm, led a $100 million investment in CrowdStrike in July, its first ever for a computer security company.
The reasons Google would invest are obvious. Fortune goes further in an interview with Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz.
"Security is of foremost interest to Google," said Google Capital partner Gene Frantz, mentioning Google's expertise in protecting IT assets. "We identified what we think will be a very large and very important security company in the world."
"To have Google align with our vision and kick the tires--they wouldn't write us a huge check unless they checked us out--to have that level of validation in less than four years is incredibly rewarding," George Kurtz CEO of Crowdstrike said.
There are only two scenarios that explain this situation. Crowdstrike thought nobody would fact check. Alperovitch started the hacking story to influence the election results and it got away from him. Or Crowdstrike is guilty of gross incompetence and may be guilty of over selling their capabilities and expertise to investors.
Either way, with the cyber security industry laughing at Crowdstrike's evidence, an investigation needs to happen to find out how this company brought the USA to the brink of war with Russia. A cyber attack is an act of war . It doesn't matter if Alperovitch didn't imagine the story would get this big.
As it becomes clear to investors that Crowdstrike either willfully perjured themselves to the FBI, CIA, DNI, as well as the president, will they vote with their feet on the value of the company?
