Man, these presidential election years sure seem to last longer than a year, don't they? And, in our hyper-partisan world of never ending political stupidity, it's somewhat comforting that the one thing we can all agree on is that the debate formats recently have basically sucked out loud. The cobbler's kids go shoeless again.įiled Under: apt28, dmitry badin, dnc, dnc emails, email, germany, gru, hacking, opsec, passwords, podesta emails, russia
was apparently his own last name and the year he was born.
#DNC SERVER HACKING POWERPOINT PASSWORD#
Yes, the password for at least one of his email accounts. After this, his email credentials were leaked again as part of a larger hack, where we see that he had changed his password from Badin1990 to the much more secure Badin990. He had apparently been using the password Badin1990.
#DNC SERVER HACKING POWERPOINT REGISTRATION#
Dmitry Badin’s email - which we figured out from his Skype account, which we in turn obtained from his phone number, which we of course got from his car registration - had been hacked. In 2018, a large collection of hacked Russian mail accounts, including user name and passwords, was dumped online. The most surreal absence of “practice-what-you-breach” among GRU hackers might be visible in their lackadaisical attitude to their own cyber protection. Bellingcat also found Badin - again, a hacker who is suspected in multiple massive and consequential hacks, including of email accounts - didn't seem to be all that careful with his own security: There's much, much more in the Bellingcat report, but the final paragraph really stands out. A few years back, Bellingcat also connected a bunch of people to the GRU - including some accused of hacking by the Dutch government - based on leaked car registration info. This is not the first time this has happened. including the fact that he registered his 2018 car purchase to the public address of a GRU building. The folks over at Bellingcat have done their open source intelligence investigation thing, and provided a ton of evidence to show that Badin almost certainly is part of GRU. The reports about the German arrest warrant all mention that German authorities "believe" that Badin is connected to the Russian GRU and its APT28 hacking group. You may have seen the news reports this week that German prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for Dmitry Badin for a massive hack of the German Parliament that made headlines in 2016.
