IIRC the fishing link used for the hack pointed to a mainstream URL shortener; and the account that owned that shortened URL used in the fishing op was associated with other URLs dating years back used for fishing campaigns against russian journalists and dissidents.

Hence, pretty strong reasons to suspect Russian state involvment.

Those phishing emails and links are distinct from the DNC leak

I was thinking about another case around the same time where a DNC member had his gmail account compromised by a spearfishing attack (which IIUC is also different from the "DNC leak"). The broad strokes are similar though.

There is this theory of the Moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop from which there is no escape.

Imagine repeating the same day as a Hillary '16 campaign staffer over and over for eternity
