Risk & Repeat: Was the DNC hack an inside job?
A group of veteran intelligence officials presented a new theory about the Democratic National Committee hack, but the technical evidence behind it appears to be lacking.
The group, known as Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS), recently published an open letter to President Donald Trump arguing that the DNC hack was not perpetrated by Russian hackers, but instead by an insider threat. The DNC hack inside job theory circulated over the last year, but it hadn't carried much weight, if any, before the VIPS report.
The organization claimed that, based on technical evidence provided by two independent security researchers, it was determined that the download of the nearly 20,000 emails from the DNC was performed at a speed of 22.7 megabytes per second (roughly 180 megabits per second). VIPS and its security researchers argue that speed was simply too fast for a remote network connection and, therefore, the data must have been copied locally onto an external storage device, like a USB drive.
In addition to arguing that the DNC hack was an inside job, VIPS made the explosive claim that Russian fingerprints were generated to blame the incident on Russian state-sponsored hackers.
Several publications, including The Nation, picked up the VIPS letter, which challenges the FBI and CIA's assessment of the DNC hack. However, a number of infosec experts have debunked the VIPS theory, and have refuted the technical evidence that allegedly points to the DNC hack being an inside job.
Who are the independent security researchers VIPS used to build this case? What is the technical evidence that led VIPS to believe the DNC hack was an inside job? Why is this so-called evidence misleading? SearchSecurity editors Rob Wright and Peter Loshin discuss those questions and more in this episode of the Risk & Repeat podcast.

WikiLeaks figure says 'disgusted' Democrat leaked Clinton campaign emails
Craig Murray should know he was handed a thumb drive with the leaked documents in a park in Washington by an insider ..
Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan and a close associate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, said in the report by the Daily Mail that he flew to Washington for a clandestine handoff with one of the email sources in September.
He said he received a package in a wooded area near American University.
“Neither of [the leaks] came from the Russians,” Mr. Murray told the British newspaper. “The source had legal access to the information. The documents came from inside leaks, not hacks.”
