[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2986048, member: 27417"] This is what Wired.com had to say about the group behind the DNC hack: [URL="http://www.wired.co.uk/article/how-russian-hackers-work"]"They are capable of doing some of the most technically advanced computer network operations that FireEye sees anywhere in the world," say Chris Porter from security firm FireEye, which has been monitoring the group..."APT28 employs a suite of malware with features indicative of the group’s plans for continued operations, as well as the group’s access to resources and skilled developers," the report says. It details four characteristics of tools used in the attacks launched by the Russian group: a flexible way of developing exploits, organising working environment to create zero-day attacks, conducting counter-analysis, and working during the Russian '9-5 hours'. Zero-days (CVE-2015-1701, CVE-2015-2424, CVE-2015-2590, CVE-2015-3043, CVE-2015-5119, and CVE-2015-7645) for Adobe Flash Player, Java, and Windows are linked to the group...Porter says ATP28 is able to operate at a large scale and has greater levels of preparation before attacks than state-sponsored Chinese hackers ("APT28 seems to have a pretty endless armoury of zero-days"). When asked for a potential number of people working under the banner, he was unwilling to commit to a figure..."They not only have keyboard operators (the hackers), but they have software development teams, they've also got teams that work with media operations and can do several operations concurrently." He adds: "This is not a small team." [/URL] The DNC hack was carried out by a large, organized group in Russia. It was not some "400 pound guy in his mom's basement". [/QUOTE]
