24. The Russkies used a propaganda tactic known as "tainted leaks"

Russian hackers did indeed alter Clintons' emails to incriminate her falsely.

No wonder Clinton didn't get more votes: Rust Belt voters were too naive to see that the Wikileaks dump of her and Podesta's emails were forgeries.

Key Points

Documents stolen from a prominent journalist and critic of the Russian government were manipulated and then released as a “leak” to discredit domestic and foreign critics of the government. We call this technique “tainted leaks.”

The operation against the journalist led us to the discovery of a larger phishing operation, with over 200 unique targets spanning 39 countries (including members of 28 governments). The list includes a former Russian Prime Minister, members of cabinets from Europe and Eurasia, ambassadors, high ranking military officers, CEOs of energy companies, and members of civil society.

After government targets, the second largest set (21%) are members of civil society including academics, activists, journalists, and representatives of non-governmental organizations.
