So, back to the wikileaks release for a minute--
These files have been the topic of renewed discussion in some cyber forums, for obvious reasons. In a nutshell there is virtually no question that the Russian government is behind the hack. The emails were opened and edited on a computer set to use Cyrillic by default. The hacker claimed to the press that he was Romanian but spoke and wrote very poor Romanian compared to his Russian. Email communications with the "hacker" are clearly being written by several different people. There is almost no reason for a private hacker or group to spend time on DNC communications--there's no profit model there. And lastly it fits a now well-established pattern of the Putin regime to interfere in elections with well-timed leaks and hacks--it's just that up until now he's been picking on Eastern European countries.
On top of this Putin and Trump are thoroughly on record as supporting, if not admiring, each other. It's also been pointed out that many of the 500+ companies that Trump is involved in are Russian or have Russian ties. It's even been said that Russian money is keeping Trump's business afloat. This last may be hyperbolic but there's definitely enough involvement to constitute a serious conflict of interest.
The worry is that the well-established Russian pattern doesn't involve one leak. It involves a campaign of leaks and disinformation timed to cause maximum disruption. As a result we can expect more such wikileaks releases, fabricated or not. And people in the industry are now really, really worried about the security of electronic voting machines.
Sleep well!
