Siberian hackers linked to Climategate!

algore-sunCan you feel the irony? An investigation by The UK Mail on Sunday has discovered that the explosive hacked emails from the University of East Anglia were leaked via a small web server in the formerly closed city of Tomsk in Siberia! The leaks scandal has left the so called “scientific community” in disarray after its been revealed how the key climate change data was manipulated in the run-up to the climate change summit of world leaders. Barbara Boxer of course calles this “E-mail theft Gate”. According to this Times Online article, UN officials are whining about the Russians being paid to be hackers.

“It’s very common for hackers in Russia to be paid for their services,” he said. “If you look at that mass of e-mails a lot of work was done, not only to download the data, but it’s a carefully made selection of e-mails and documents that’s not random at all. This is 13 years of data and it’s not a job of amateurs.”

So much for the blame America theories.
