i am not going to read it - for several reasons :
1 - i dont understands it either [ the technical details of a computer forensics report ]
2 - i am not making the claim that " russia hacked the 2016 presidential election ` - so i do not require evidence that they did
3 - i am going to take no special action based on wether they did or did not [ ie - if they did then i shal ................. ] - i am just a bloke in the UK who will go for a cycle ride this aft - i am not going to imposse sanctions on the russian govet
my only contribution to this issue - is to point out the absurdity of dismissing something you addmit you dont even understand
so - carry on
US.gov's / US.mil's drippingly rampant militaristic GLOBAL propaganda & censorship agenda
A malicious backdoor, dubbed Hammertoss, has been unmasked as an ingenious tool employed by a notorious group of Russian cyber-criminals operating with advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics.
The group, known as APT 29, is identified as a probably-state-sponsored actor active in the Russian espionage scene. According to FireEye, Hammertoss is designed to make it difficult for security professionals to detect and characterize the extent of the group’s activity. It also performs data exfiltration.

This article from July 2015 discusses APT 29 (one of the groups mentioned in the report in the OP)

There is another thread on this also.
It's quite clear after this ridiculous paper that the intelligence services have zero evidence to support the propaganda fed to the media to parrot to the public.

Once again, I ask you what you would consider to be "actual evidence." Putin swearing on a Bible that Russia did it?

That the group APT29 has been known about for some time, has been identified as a Russian state sponsored group 18 months ago.
Does it not add validity to the claims made in the report?

I have no answer for that?
Butt hurt?
Other details not yet released?
Some simple evidence that Russia aimed to hack in order to influence the election would be nice.

The total of this "hacked the election" seems to be:
Russia may or may not have been behind or helped with the gathering of the Podesta emails which by virtue of their release on Wikileaks influenced the minds of some voters in the 2016 US elections.
Any other actual government computer intrusions by Russia do not have an actual bearing on the election.
It is being used as an excuse to confront Russia over difference of opinion in world politics and armed conflicts. Nothing new other than the event. It gives peace of mind to some US citizens for the ramping up of conflict between the US and Russia.
