Guccifer 2.0 unmasking makes it a lot harder for Trump to deny collusion
Guccifer 2.0 unmasking makes it a lot harder for Trump to deny collusion
The hacker who stole emails from the Democratic National Committee was identified Thursday as a member of Russia’s elite GRU intelligence agency, according to a Daily Beast report.
Known as Guccifer 2.0, the hacker claimed he was from Romania and had no connection to the Kremlin when he passed DNC emails to WikiLeaks months before the 2016 election.
But a single slip-up, when he failed to activate his VPN client before logging on, left an IP address on a server in France, which U.S. investigators traced back to the GRU’s headquarters on Grizodubovoy Street, Moscow.
