Russia's to blame for pro-ISIS megahack on French TV network

Re: That was believeable until the "grammatical mistakes"

Was just about to point out the same thing about the time zones.

And anyway, since when do computer programmers respect office hours?

Re: That was believeable until the "grammatical mistakes"

While your English skills are way way ahead of any foreign language skills I have (or more accurately don't have), the phrasing in your post has enough non-standard forms to mark you out as someone whose primary language is not English. Nothing wrong in what you have said, but just slight unorthodox tautology which gives you away.

I suspect something similar was being suggested in the report

Re: That was believeable until the "grammatical mistakes"

That's right - only Russian is written in Cyrillic, those investigators have nailed it. And all Russian hackers are direct employees of Vlad.

Last October ISIS released video of a group of Kazakh children training with them, along with accurate subtitles in Russian and English. And recently it was reported that the commander of Tajikistan's special forces defected to ISIS.

Other languages that use Cyrillic and have significant populations throughout the Russian Federation: Chechen, Chuvash, Uzbek, Tajik &c.

Might it be that someone from one of these communities might have orchestrated this? The sanctions on Russia are hitting these communities a bit harder than anyone else so perhaps there is further motivation?

But then I keep forgetting that it is the belief of the security services that supporters of ISIS are obviously ignorant benighted idiots who struggle speaking one language.

Hanlon's razor.

For every 1 jihadi from Western Europe there are 2+ from ex-Soviet Union. What keyboard they are likely to be using is left as an exercise to the reader (hint - it is not going to be Arabic). That and Damascus being the same timezone as St Petersburg.

Yes, Destroy All Monsters, the BBC has definitely lost the knack of making its propaganda believable and universally acceptable as a viable vital source to follow into brave new future worlds creating command and control of power and energy with words shared and televisualised/audiovisualised. And that failure is down to the sub-prime state and non-state actors it presents and hosts as script monkeys.

Get your APT ACT together, BBC. UKGBNI and brave new future worlds expect.

Just as well, then, that us commentards didn't get political or say anything that might have pissed....anybody.......erm................
