Re:Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking on Thursday December 29, 2016 @05:29PM (#13280747)
It's because there's no proof that Russia did any of this and what was done wasn't "hacking the election". It was a leak of factual information. I think a lot of people (myself included) were happy to have the information made public. I'd also be happy if such details about the RNC were made public, but they weren't. I see this more as whistleblowing than anything else and I definitely wouldn't qualify it as "hacking" especially not of "the election".

The report is literally titled: "GRIZZLY STEPPE – Russian Malicious Cyber Activity"

Yet it doesn't actually make a case for Russian Malicious Cyber Activity. People are pointing out the obvious spin on this especially since it's extremely light on technical details or a reason to exist other than propaganda. Reasonable companies don't need to be taught about phishing attacks.
