Article is interesting, but from 2017. Executive summary - impossible to hack that amount of information over the internet in the time it supposedly happens, but the time-frame matches up perfectly with a transfer to a thumb drive.
The counter to this is that the files may have been transferred from one computer in the same LAN to another one, then uploaded to Ukraine at a slower speed. Is there a counter to this counter?
Obviously there's always some nerd saying "akshually"
The counter is that NSA have taps that let them see the source/destinations of these hack attempts and information transfers. They didnt see any such against either the DNC server (ie a direct hack) or elsewhere on the same IP space (an indirect hack/copy style transfer)
Needless to say, Crowdstrike have no such access and any attempt to insist that they have sourced things to Russia is basically fluff - insisting that they have tools that we know they dont.
