From Russya With Love

       So,  a small group of Russyans leave the Moscova airport,  bound for Western Europe.  Where are they going to land?  Well, of course they will be closely watched and their every activity monitored by every spy agency that has 3 letters in its name.  The group is traveling on diplomatic passports.  Nothing new here: spies have used this cover since Caesar sent spies to Gaul.  SO they land in Denmark, little Denmark, home of the Little Danes.  Not a real threat to anybody, anywhere; the Danes keep to themselves and maybe NATO.
     So the group rents a car, and they place luggage in same.  And then they split up: two go here two go there.  What are they up to this time?  Hmmmmm.  They go to hotels where certain other groups are conducting meetings.  And what does the group then proceed to attempt?  HACKING.  That's right: these are the agents of the GRU who specialize in that distinctly Russyan pass time of hacking into the systems of any group deemed anti Russyan, anti-Kremlin, anti-Putin, anti-Lenin, anti-Pushkin, anti-Trotsky, anti- anything Russyan.
     As reported widely in international media, these sad agents were caught with their pants down(no, not literally Chump) red- handed(no, not literally), just caught in the act with all their little gizmos.  Who were they hacking?  Let's take a look. 
      One of the hackers is Ivan Sergeyevich Yermakov.  He was charged with creating a fake website and sending spear-phishing emails to to employees of Westinghouse Electric Company, near Pittsburgh, PA, who work on nuclear reactor technology.  Westinghouse has supplied nuclear fuel to Ukraine.  Dutch officials also said a hack attack was directed at a Swiss laboratory that tested a nerve agent used in chemical attacks in Syria, a Russyan ally.   Among other charges was the attack on the O.P.C.W. headquarters( the org. for the prohibition of chemical weapons).  One of the agents involved, Alexey Minin,, took several pictures around the O.P.C.W. headquarters.  In a rented car, the agents went to a hotel where a meeting was being held and they aimed their hacking gear at the hotel to penetrate the wi-fi network in use so they could hack into organizational networks and steal data.
      This is part of the larger Kremlin goal of harassing and intimidating opponents of Mad VLAD(aka Vova).  The he man portrayed by his publicists is really nothing more than the typical paranoid Russyn dictator, a trait passed on to generations by epi-genomics.
   So, be wary of hotel wi-fi.
