Fancy Bear đŸ» from Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, GRU, were at the conference.
Anatoily Sergeyevich Kovalev with GRU Unit 74455 was there...
đŸ’» Kovalev was busy hacking our election infrastructure and deploying malware in Florida, Illinois, Georgia and Iowa 📡
âš™ïžâ›“đŸ•łGRU officer, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Yershov, attended the Hacking event held in the Kremlin. He configured the X- Agent used for the DNC hack.
Yershov’s commander was Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin who was the Asst. Head of Dept for Russia’s Geopolitical Hacking operation 🌍
⌚Ruslan Stoyanov was at the conference in 2014 - he was arrested by the FSB on treason charges along w Docuchayev for passing info to the US. Stoyanov headed the investigation team at Kaspersky Lab đŸ–„

đŸ€”It’s amazing to me that we refuse to address the ease of hacking a voting machine and yet a student - not yet with the GRU- can hack our infrastructure, nuclear plants, railroad, banks, planes... Perhaps we can address this issue without being accused of disinformation⁉
