"It matters" in what way? Another piece of evidence that CNN should be shunned? Or that the specific accusations against Russia are pure baloney? All nations are involved with cyberwarfare (which includes hacking). So the USA is hacking away while China, Russia and others are also hacking away. But the specific charges against Russia remain unproven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they claim it was an actual example or was it just in the background as an attention grabber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out even the Vermont power utility was not hacked, the news media are not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More faking news by CNN! did you see the report by CNN, did they say that it was an example of russian hacking? in what context was the screen grab from Fallout 4 used?

Sure there was, but that was not the headline. This is why "fake news" is so easily leveled against the mainstream media. If the headline had been "malware found on vermont utility laptop may have russian origin" there probably wouldn't have been near the problem. However, that was not the headline, this was the washington post headline - “Russian hackers penetrated U.S. electricity grid through a utility in Vermont, U.S. officials say.” What really happened is that malware code was found on the laptop and that may be linked to russia. That is all. Malware codes are freely exchanged between hackers all the time. Could this have originated from russia? Yes. Could it be something entirely unrelated to russia? Of course. Malware that governments write to use in operations routinely gets out into the hacker community. The washington post did multiple rewrites under the original headline without a single note that there had been additions or modifications to the article as well. This was traced by Forbes using the wayback machine. This right here is why fake news is going to stick against the media, every single time, unless they modify their practices.

Asking questions, not defending anything but the truth. Do you have answers to my questions or do you just not care to know the whole story?

They were not saying that is actual evidence or anything. It is just a background to go with the news being shown. It is something that a common person would definitely relate with hacking. On the other side, I am not sure if they would run into any copyright violations for using this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
