Ars: Ukranian hackers steal Putin's crony's Outlook .PST file...
http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/10/some-hacked-e-mails-documents-from-putin-advisor-confirmed-as-genuine/Recently a cache of 2,337 e-mails from the office of a high-ranking advisor to Russian president Vladimir Putin was dumped on the Internet after purportedly being obtained by a Ukrainian hacking group calling itself CyberHunta. The cache shows that the Putin government communicated with separatist forces in Eastern Ukraine, receiving lists of casualties and expense reports while even apparently approving government members of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. And if one particular document is to be believed, the Putin government was formulating plans to destabilize the Ukrainian government as early as next month in order to force an end to the standoff over the region, known as Donbass.
Based on reporting by the Associated Press's Howard Amos and analysis by the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, at least some of the e-mails — dumped in a 1-gigabyte Outlook .PST mailbox file — are genuine. Amos showed e-mails in the cache to a Russian journalist, Svetlana Babaeva, who identified e-mails she had sent to Surkov's office. E-mail addresses and phone numbers in some of the e-mails were also confirmed. And among the documents in the trove of e-mails is a scan of Surkov's passport (above), as well as those of his wife and children.
[...] Cheers, Scott.

Payback time from CIA? And no mention of Wikileaks as repository.
In any case, it corroborates the obvious - Russia invaded Ukraine. Alex

lies, all lies, as mmoffitt will shorty assure us
...or, if true, perfectly justifiable responses to the cryogenically preserved, recently thawed and decanted WWII era card-carrying Nazis who overthrew the Pericles of Kiev, that selfless tribune of the people in 2014. Hit it, Mikey!

You should know that RT is not a jounalistic source.
The value of what it says can be approximated by white noise. Alex

I'm not really sure what's being claimed here.
I read it that some of the email was confirmed. But the email didn't contain the nefarious plans of those evil Soviet Russian bastards? Most of the e-mails are routine. However, a separate leak by the hackers includes a report that outlines a plan for undermining the stability of the Ukrainian government entitled "The plan of priority measures to destabilize the socio-political situation in Ukraine: A separate leak? From where? Any vetting? Ah, but I forgot. When you're propagandizing how evil those Soviet Russian bastards are, who needs verification? Iraq had WMD and aided Al Qaeda in the 9/11 attack, too, donchaknow. bcnu,
