Aug. 13—Just three days before the summit between Presidents Putin and Trump in Alaska, the New York Times Aug. 12 drops what they hope will be a bombshell: Russia is suspected of hacking into the federal court filing system.
A cyber security specialist contacted about the report said there is absolutely no reason to believe that the information about the hack is true, "given what has now been proven to be false reports of Russian hacking during the 2016 election." The source says, as is well known, but the Timesneglects to report, the NSA has software that can mimic and falsely attribute to alleged foreign actors attempted and actual hacks into such systems, as has been exposed in leaks of materials reporting on such capabilities from Edward Snowden and others.
The source said that rather than assume that such reports of alleged Russian (or Chinese) hacks are true, it were better to assume that they are the work of sections of our own intelligence agencies, linked to NATO, that want to sabotage improved relations and cooperation between the United States and Russia and China, until proven otherwise. The timing of this leaked report, just days before the Alaska summit, gives a better clue as to who is behind this, the source said. "I don't think it is credible," he reported.
Federal officials are “scrambling” to figure out how deep this digital dumpster fire goes. While the coverage acknowledges that hackers have allegedly been in the system for years, this now “urgent matter” (as it is reportedly described by an internal memo). Another source reported that there has long been suspicion that hackers working for Dope, Inc, the international drug cartels, have attempted to hack the courts and justice system records.
While the hacking may be centered in New York, courts in places like South Dakota, Missouri, and even Arkansas have reportedly been affected. Judges, under instructions likely from the FBI, are taking measures like not uploading sealed docs to PACER (the software program/server that provides access to the documents).
Politico sniffed out that a “foreign actor” has been poking around courts since early July, although it were far more likely that such information was deliberately leaked to them, as they have no ability to check its veracity and are known to simply publish what leakers provide.. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (R-NY), a Zionist lobby asset, back in 2022 even claimed that three unnamed countries had breached the system starting in 2020.
