tl;dr - about more than election hacking, the possibility that the US military is behind various hacks and influence operations by faking being Russia/Iran/NK

Ken is not a credible journalist. Probably not the worst, but he's closer to e.g. Glenn Greenwald than a pure fact-finder.

Russia, maybe, NK doubtful and Iran ? I do not think Iran is that stupid since in general many EU Countries are not that thrilled about Israel. But to me, it will be hard to know got 100% for sure.

>This included "the use of Farsi and IP addresses traced back to devices located in Iran"

I guess they were caught then. I heard of software that can hide or change these things called "IP addresses", but I guess using it is way too hard for organizations with plenty of resources :

		> I guess they were caught then. The US and Israel have deeply penetrated Iran's network. I would not be surprised they are proxying through there to paint a picture that Iran is attacking them as well... to try to stem the tide of Israel's falling public support across the globe.

While I believe that Russia might have serious hacking capability, then Iran much less so, but accusing NK is laughable to be honest. America with Israel though? They pwn Europe completely.

		NK just pulled off the biggest crypto robbery ever. But its not all about hacking, influence operations are significant too. Ask Jensen. The accusation here is that the US is doing the bad things while pretending to be other APTs. As an American, I would not be surprised in the slightest if this turned out to be true, very double agent-esce and inline with the hubris, especially under this administration.
