Специалисты пишут, что ничего такого уж удивительного в этой утечке нет, даже xkcd на эту тему пошутил сегодня: xkcd.com/1808/

А организовали это всё, конечно, с целью усилить битву между Трампом и ЦРУ, а также продвинуть телегу про то, что ЦРУ подставило Россию с хаком DNC:

"Tuesday’s data dump was similarly met with a rapid wave of social media fury, most of it mischaracterizing the leak’s content. Perhaps significantly, the most common meme purports to clear Vladimir Putin in the 2016 U.S. election hacking. It was the CIA that actually hacked the Democratic National Committee, the story goes, using the Kremlin’s malware to frame Russia for the breach. In one version of the meme, it was all done “to justify spying on Trump”—an apparent reference to the president’s recent assertion that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower.

The basis of that false claim is a leaked CIA resource called “Umbrage,” a catalog of malicious code samples captured in the wild by the government or computer security firms. The leak shows that CIA hackers are encouraged to reuse that public malware in their own hack attacks when possible, in part to make it harder to attribute the breach.

But as described in the leak, the Umbrage library is primarily a shortcut for CIA code jockeys who don’t want to write, for example, a Windows keystroke-logging function from scratch, when there are plenty of keyloggers crawling around our crimeware-clogged Internet already. The leaked catalog isn’t organized by country of origin, and the specific malware used by the Russian DNC hackers is nowhere on the list. Needless to say, the documents say nothing about framing another nation’s intelligence service. But by the end of the day Tuesday, the alt-right news site Breitbart was promoting the false claim.

...

Robert M. Lee, founder of the cyber security firm Dragos, finds the rapidity, consistency, and overwhelming volume of the falsehoods suspicious, particularly the meme purporting to vindicate the Kremlin. He suspects that bots have been deployed to push the tall tale on Twitter. “That narrative emerged far too quickly to have been organic,” said Lee. “There is certain narrative terminology and sound-bites that are consistent among multiple accounts. That usually speaks to some sort of automation or coordination.”

“A lot of the things that were highlighted are clearly intended to drive a wedge between the president and the intelligence community,” said Lee, “which is terrible for the country.”"
