Schneier, stating the obvious... These things happen all the time though, don't they? What good does it do to whine about it?
vs. Schneier, vomiting State sponsored wartime propaganda. Considering who pays his speaking fees, and which are the most lucrative clients in his employers' markets, that or him "packing it in" and retiring from the corporate life, was more or less inevitable. Attribution is one of the hardest things to get right in the world of network forensics. "Trust me, I have secret information" is good enough for losers and fools who have ultimate faith in State institutions, even when those institutions tell them things 100% consistent with State propaganda aims. Meanwhile, common sense might tell a more likely tale: One about how whoever the forensics guys say was inside the DNC systems, is either a) the least competent of many attackers who rattled the door knobs, or b) whoever lives in the path of a false trail laid by a competent attacker. An understanding of how the world works tells us that /many/ State Security agencies take an interest in collecting political intelligence on U.S. policy makers and their minions. Damn near all of them, in fact; any who don't simply lack the budget or manpower. :o/
