Deencrypt the data and didn t receive it because these guys went dark. there s a couple different reasons that could be behind this. the first one is it could be that the russian government asked them to go dark or took them off line. it could be the hosting site got nervous and took them off line. there might be a u.s. government operation that we re not going to get all the details on. and then, lastly, just like dark side, they may have decided that the heat got a little hot. they re going to lay low. and then they re going to retool and re-emerge as someone else operating under a different name, recruiting new affiliates. i doubt that they have decided it s time to be good people for their neighbors. they ll be back. you bring up an interesting possibility the u.s. may have been behind it. one, does the u.s. government and its agencies have the technical capabilities from your area of expertise to launch such an attack? and, as i mentioned, we don t know if the u.s. was behind th ....

Today marks the second day in a row that the texas statehouse is convened without a quorum after the democrats left the state over a restrictive voting rights bill. the group of texas house democrats is intensifying their lobbying efforts as they meet with federal lawmakers and some texas state senators are joining them. if anyone thinks this is a vacation, let me let me help you out with your definition because i would much rather be home with my family. they ask how much voter fraud are you willing to put up with? that s not the question. how many people are you willing to rob them of their vote? meanwhile, some 1,500 miles away over in austin, texas, the state senate passed their own version of the sweeping bill sb-1. joining me now from austin is ....

All of this group s infrastructure remains off line. yesterday the moderators of this hacker forum on the dark web banned the user accounts of a user acting as the spokesperson for this group. now the analysts say that does not necessarily mean that any kind of law enforcement action is taking place against the user but the admins themselves actually were afraid that account would be hijacked by law enforcement, and there s a lot of discussion on the forums about what happened. a lot of speculation and concern, perhaps fear, of a law enforcement action. now that would have happened here in russia, presumably, considering it s a russian group with russian infrastructure. we re hearing very, very little here from the kremlin, from really anyone in russia. of course this did come up today in the daily kremlin press briefing with the spokesman. he just said he knew nothing about this group, nothing about them being taken off line. ....

Our conversation with the vp was one of inspiration, so i want to be clear. we are very confident that we are on the right side of history in this particular matter and standing for voting rights. the vp was very encouraging. she said that this was as american as american pie what we were doing, defending democracy, and sadly enough we have seen over and over in this country that every single time a certain group of people, typically people of color, start to get involved and engaged, those in power get nervous and they want to try to restrict their accessibility to the ballot box so that s where we were with the vice president. as far as have we been successful? i really would not measure our success just this early on. are we getting in? are we having conversations? do those conversations seem to be fruitful so far? they absolutely do, but my goal isn t necessarily just to talk the talk but it s to walk the walk. it s the exact same reason that ....
