"The Russia-linked hacker "Guccifer 2.0" was long believed to be a front for Russian intelligence. On Thursday, The Daily Beast published a bombshell report confirming that the hacker was directly tied to the GRU, Russia's military intelligence outfit.
Guccifer 2.0, who has said that they targeted Democrats during the 2016 US election, has denied being any ties to Russia. But the US intelligence community concluded in January 2017, based on digital fingerprints that were left on the hacks, that the cyberattacks against the Democratic National Committee and members of Hillary Clinton's campaign were largely, if not entirely, carried out by Russian intelligence groups.
The hacker forgot to activate the service on one occasion, betraying their IP address and true location in social media logs. US investigators have since used the information to identify Guccifer 2.0 as a specific officer at the GRU."
DNC hacker 'Guccifer 2.0' was reportedly confirmed as a Russian agent after forgetting to conceal his identity online
