"Hack" is relative in this case. It's unlikely they actually tampered with the voting system itself. They've influenced several elections in indirect ways.

Nah. It's more shit like them using Julian to pump out just enough anti hillary stuff to distract from the massive pile of crap spewing from trumps anus long enough for them to look equal. Then all the democrats (growing majority of the population) assumed they she would win and sat on their asses. All trump had to do was passively inherit the republican base and replace the portion of those who were sane with his radical nutjob fanbase. He's good at appealing to people who believe in simple answers, so he pretty much just had to be himself while it all fell in to place.
Kevin Gutierrez
Thanks based Norbro
Cooper Miller
None of this are actual sources, were are the logs proving this? Why can't they quote an actual security researcher instead of just saying that Israel found something? Worst of it, this board is so full of Sup Forums and Reddit everyone is pretending this isn't a CIA op against Kaspersky since they're the only antivirus software that they couldn't break, because muh drumpf and Russians amirite XD At least the fossfriends aren't retarded Free as in freedom apps and a decent custom ROM

"Supplementing" the security of your nonfree kernel with nonfree kernelspace shitware that literally only adds greater weaknesses.
Windows by itself is more than fucking secure if configured properly and if you keep your shitty vendor software up to date.

Sebastian Thompson
Hillary's campaign was already completely shit regardless if leaks exist or not (or maybe you can blame the Russians on that) The media were propaganda tools in such a painfully obvious manner (or maybe you can blame that on the Russians using reverse psychology) The Assange situation were probably only understood by a niche amount of people who were already living in blue states so they ultimately had little to no effect on the votes
>He's good at appealing to people who believe in simple answers LMAO, and I thought it was the democrats that were progressive but somehow they can't resist insulting the lower classes if it's convenient and are incapable of getting their votes when they need it
Jack Miller
>tfw NSA sperglords spilled their confidential zero-day spaghetti into a foreign agency's lap >Sup Forums, the sole board on Sup Forums capable of understanding and discussing the ramifications of such leakage obsesses over Trump v Hillary shit that's been long settled instead of discussing the how, when, why, dangers and the actual politics governing the software leaked
Mason Rodriguez

Ryan Evans
When is about shady shit there is gonna be always retards or shills (no difference btw) trying to derail the thread on another shit
Chase Hughes
Just because Sup Forums was capable of it doesn't mean they are. Do you even go here regularly? This place gets worse by the day.
Zachary Lee
What's most bothersome to me is the guy that leaked this shit was inevitably some sort of tech professional, why he would open an attack vector like that voluntarily, and likely knowingly is super suspicious. But the tools and the agency really don't need to exist in this day and age, despite the superficial tensions the media constantly perpetuates the world is at a pretty harmonious standstill outside the MIP pushing shit around. There have been numerous leaks too, which is even more of an argument to disassemble these programs and patch the holes they exploit, or they will continue to leak and eventually everyone will be rolling around in a sea of vulnerabilities; given the amount of information processed, retained, generated, and the implications behind it, these things have a supermassive potential to be wholly devastating.

Either Kaspersky helped moscow or they unknowingly got infiltrated by two state actors at the same time.
Either way is extremely damaging and this could very well be the end of Kaspersky.
Henry Clark
>>Sup Forums, the sole board on Sup Forums capable of understanding hahahahahahaha
Daniel Evans
>solid evidence >in the form of screenshots user, you and I both know that screenshots mean nothing.
Basically this. Mind you, if Isreal and Russia got into them then I wouldn't be surprised if USA were in them as well but just didn't get caught.
Fact is that this is what countries do. It's very embarrassing when a country gets caught in another country's systems but they're all doing it. They're all trying to learn as much as they can about everyone else covertly.

Ayden Long
It's not surprising. The Russians are good at what they do and Kaspersky Lab is right on their home turf. Kaspersky himself is ex-KGB, and it's definitely possible there is actual collusion going on.
You should probably assume that popular US antivirus programs may be comprised by US intelligence to varying degrees as well. Revolving doors etc.
Julian Brooks
