How did Russian hackers manipulate US election results?

Ahmedabad, Dt. 2 November 2020, Monday

The US presidential election is held every four years, on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Tomorrow, in the 59th election, American citizens will vote for their president. American investigative agencies are now convinced that in the last election, Russian hackers carried out a very systematic cyber attack on the American electoral system. In addition to Russia this year, China and Iran are also said to be trying to disrupt the American election.

Hacking and Social Media Data Targeted Propaganda These two extremely sharp weapons could be totally reversed if the results of a presidential election in a technologically advanced country like the United States were to be reversed. And the system of airports has also been hacked). To reverse the election four years ago, read a series of details of what happened five years ago ...

A computer in your office has been hacked by Russian hackers. "The FBI has informed the National Committee of the then-ruling Democratic Party that the outcome of the 14-month US presidential election will be decided by Russian hackers, not US voters. Done.

At that time, Barack Obama of the Democratic Party was the President of the United States. Hillary Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, announced in April 2015 that she would run for the presidency as a Democratic candidate. Hillary Clinton's rival, Republican candidate Donald Trump, began his campaign in June 2015.

After the FBI informed the Democratic National Committee in September 2015 that his computer had been hacked, the computer expert checked all of the office's systems, but found nothing suspicious. The same thing happened two months later, but it was not taken seriously.

Four months later, the e-mail account of Hillary Clinton's campaign committee chairman was hacked

Then in April 2016, hackers opened a fake e-mail account and sent mails to more than 30 of Hillary's top staff officers. Officers opened a file called 'Hillary Clinton Favorable Rating' by sending a file related to Hillary in it (see how open the ground was for hackers!). The computer passwords of all these important people reached the hackers.

Hackers began stealing data from Democratic Party computers and set up a website called DeSilix. For the next three months, hackers continued to steal thousands of e-mails from Democratic Party servers.

In June 2016, the Washington Post reported that hackers working for Russia had hacked into the Democratic Party's system and stolen information from it. Russia, however, denied the report.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party hired a cyber security company. In June 2016, the Democratic Party announced on its website that a cyber attack had been carried out on its computer network by two hacker groups affiliated with the Russian spy agency. After that, a blogger who called himself a Romanian hacker and named 'Gusifer 2.0' claimed that he had stolen this data. It was later revealed that the plot was hatched by Russian hackers to mislead investigators.

In July 2016, about 20,000 hacked e-mails from the Democratic Party's servers were published on WikiLeaks. There was a lot of spice in these e-mails that could hurt Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

After that, Trump launched a direct attack on Hillary. Allegations of 'using a private e-mail server to endanger national security' began when Hillary was Secretary of State. At the same time, the message that Hillary should go to jail, not to the White House, was circulating on social media (read the box below).

On the other hand, there was a rumor in the United States that the Russian government had started hacking to turn the results of the US presidential election in its favor.

Donald Trump refuted these allegations in his eccentric style during his election campaign. Russian President Vladimir Putin also continued to say that the Russian government had nothing to do with the hacking.

Finally, just one month before the November 2016 presidential election, WikiLeaks leaked 58,000 hacked messages from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. Donald Trump was no less infamous against Hillary's alleged corruption. But shortly after the release of Trump's audio tapes involving Hollywood actresses, I received a flurry of messages defaming Hillary on WikiLeaks and social media.

In November 2016, American voters went to the polls to elect a president, but by then Russia had had a profound effect on the American election and had brainwashed voters to vote as Russia wished.

Russia left no stone unturned in launching a multi-wing cyber attack on the United States to get its expected result in this election.

Russia did not interfere in the actual voting of the voters during the election but in many other ways tampered with the whole system. Before the election, Russia targeted websites or the voter registration system in at least 21 US states and stole the personal information of millions of voters. The hackers also infiltrated the system of a company that makes software to register voters and sent fake mails to election officials.

A year or two before Trump won the US presidency, Trump's construction company was also given the carrot of the business of building a huge skyscraper in Moscow, Russia.

Almost until the vote, Hillary Clinton was expected to defeat Donald Trump even better than then-President Barack Obama, but in the days leading up to the election, the tide turned and in the end, as we know, Donald Trump won.

One 'slip' changed America's future

In election year, in March 2016, John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign committee, received an alert e-mail from Google. It said someone else tried to access his Google account. In the mail, John Podesta was advised to change his password. John Podesta sent the e-mail to one of his staff to confirm and asked him what to do next.

The man on the staff responded, but he made a spelling mistake that changed America's future. The staffer was supposed to write to John that 'this e-mail seems illegitimate', but he wrote that 'this e-mail is legitimate'. The fact that he made the mistake of deliberately misleading John Podesta may never come out, but following the advice of his IT staff, he clicked on the link in the e-mail from Google, which opened a new account for his Google account. Gave the password. At the same time, Russian hackers gained access to the e-mail account of the man on whom the election campaign of the then most powerful US presidential candidate was based (not just India's elders getting caught up in e-mail phishing, John Podesta was 67 at the time). He was also the Chief of Staff of the White House when Bill Clinton was President).
