This Russian botnet does far more than DDoS attacks – and on a massive scale

Decades of work and analysis suggest that Russian hackers are busy trying to influence the U.S. elections.

They are using social media platforms, including Facebook, to sway public opinion with their botnet attempt.

But experts say the US intelligence community’s assessment isn’t definitive.

“It’s too early to tell if this Russian botnet is actively trying to influence the U.S. election with the intent of influencing the vote of any non-U.S. citizen, or if it is just a strategic disruption on the part of a foreign government,” said Kovacevich.

A number of factors have been considered in determining whether a person has had contact with Russia after they logged in to Facebook or Twitter, said University of Georgia computer scientist Alexei Veko.

“These are all complex variables, and they’re being asked to determine whether the person has had contact with Russia-style activity or not, or whether they have had contact with Russia-style activity,” he said.

“There’s not enough data available because so many different factors from IP addresses, social media accounts, search engines, network traffic, etc.”

The FBI said in a statement on Thursday that it has recovered data from one Russian official’s personal computer at the time of the attack.

“We are assisting in our investigation and are working closely with law enforcement and financial institutions to bring this issue to the forefront,” the FBI said.

Jango.com, which was hacked to the social networks of 60 million people in 2014 after being exposed by Americans, investigators said on Thursday the attackers used users’ phones and other devices, then added malware and malware implants to their botnet.

The US government and other agencies believe the botnet itself was a hoax, and said it was likely that a technology attack was behind the hack.

“The latest findings from our investigations suggest that an active Russian computer network was behind the initial attack on U.S. election servers,” the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said in a statement.

“The Bureau is continuing to provide additional information to our partners on whether such computer networks were responsible for the cyberattack.”

The FBI said it has also been working closely with additional agencies to determine if the botnet effort was a hoax.

“We continue to deliver at our highest levels of collaboration with law enforcement and the FBI to make sure each server is secure,” the statement said.

A second botnet, dubbed “SNAPD”, was also believed to have been run using Ukraine’s online black market, but the three separate attempts to control the social networking site by the groups are being investigated.
