Yep, the Ruskies are behind the cyber hack attack on the Sundance Film Festival. The lefty film soiree was attacked, and the wing nuts are furious. Gut wrenching story here Park City, Utah "The FBI is reviewing the case. At this point, we do not have any reason to believe the cyberattack was targeted towards a specific film," said a Sundance spokesperson. The plot is thickening in the tale of the mysterious cyberattack that crippled the Sundance Film Festival's box-office systems over the weekend.
The FBI is investigating the hack and is working with Sundance officials to identify the culprit, a festival spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter. Although the festival was able to get its ticketing systems back online within an hour of the Saturday breach, multiple other denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on Sundance’s IT infrastructure followed. A DDoS attack works by flooding the bandwidth or resources of a targeted server.
Reached for comment, an FBI spokesperson says the agency is looking into the matter. A Sundance Film Festival rep offers the following statement: "The FBI is reviewing the case. At this point, we do not have any reason to believe the cyberattack was targeted towards a specific film. No artist or customer information was compromised."
At the time of the hack, the festival offered little in the way of explanation of what happened, but hinted that filmmakers at the annual celebration of independent cinema may have been the target. "We have been subject to a cyberattack that has shut down our box office," the fest tweeted. "Our artists' voices will be heard and the show will go on.” One producer of a Sundance documentary critical of the Russian government believes his film could have played a role in the attack.
“There's been speculation that our film may have sparked retribution,” Icarus consulting producer Doug Blush tells THR. “It does not paint a flattering picture of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.”

RUssians have learned from their experiment with socialism. 47 % of our population do not know what the phrase "history repeats itself" and continue on with their losing ways.

We need to thank the Russians for doing us that favor.

The Russians pay about as much attention to Sundance as they did Obama... They don't even know who those idiots are in Russia.

Sycamore Do you hate them because they're openly a Christian nation now that they've tossed the Bolshies out of power? Or is it because they don't accept mass immigration from the third world? Or perhaps it's because they're anti-globalist?
