| | The CrowdStrike website touts their 'revolutionary' approach and next-generation protection with their CrowdStrike Falcon services, "We Stop Breaches". As for all three public incidents, it appears they were reactionary and did not prevent an internal or external breach. What they did provide was intelligence and discover digital signatures leading to claimed sources. | | The CrowdStrike website touts their 'revolutionary' approach and next-generation protection with their CrowdStrike Falcon services, "We Stop Breaches".

| | + | On May 10, 2016 CrowdStrike installed its Falcon software on DNC servers, two weeks before the last dated email in []WikiLeaks]]' DNC collection. Adam Carter noted Falcon should have prevented an outside hack, according to its product claims: "either CrowdStrike's flagship product failed miserably to deliver on its claimed capabilities or it could mean CrowdStrike withheld evidence."<ref>http://g-2.space/cs2/</ref> |

| | + | Julian Assange announced in a televised interview on June 12 that he was in possession of DNC emails; on June 13, 2018 (two years later) special counsel [[Robert Mueller]] alleged in [[The indictment of 12 Russian nationals, 13 July 2018|an indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers]] that alleged Russian "hackers" did not contact Assange with DNC emails until June 14. |

| | + | Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), which includes among members two former Technical Directors of the National Security Agency, has repeatedly called attention to its conclusion that the DNC emails were leaked — not “hacked” by Russia or anyone else.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2018/06/27/did-sen-warner-and-comey-collude-on-russia-gate/</ref> In analyizing the time sequence: |
| | + | |
| | + | :*June 12, 2016: Assange announces WikiLeaks is about to publish “emails related to Hillary Clinton;” |
| | + | |
| | + | :*June 14, 2016: DNC contractor Crowdstrike, (with a dubious professional record and multiple conflicts of interest) announces that malware has been found on the DNC server and claims there is evidence it was injected by Russians; |
| | + | |
| | + | :*June 15, 2016: “Guccifer 2.0” affirms the DNC statement; claims responsibility for the “hack;” claims to be a WikiLeaks source; and posts a document that the forensics show was synthetically tainted with “Russian fingerprints;" |
| | + | |
| | + | VIPS noted {{Quotebox|"We do not think that the June 12, 14, & 15 timing was pure coincidence. Rather, it suggests the start of a pre-emptive move to associate Russia with anything WikiLeaks might have been about to publish and to “show” that it came from a Russian hack.<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/intel-vets-challenge-russia-hack-evidence/</ref>}} |

| | + | Neither the FBI nor the [[Dept. of Homeland Security]] ever examined the DNC servers to determine if indeed they were hacked, or attempted to identify who the hacker might have been. |
| | + | |
| | + | The [[mainstream media]] ran with the CrowdStrike version of a hack in an attempt to delegitimize Trump. Starting in June 2016 and continuing forward the DNC, ''Washington Post'', ''New York Times'', and other MSM outlets used CrowdStrike's allegations in an attempt to delegitimize Donald Trump while providing an excuse for Hillary Clinton's loss of the [[2016 presidential election]]. From there followed claims that "Russia hacked the U.S. elections." |
