Where is it asserted/confirmed that Longhorn == CIA? I don't see it mentioned in the article nor the linked articles (not that I searched exhaustively).
The first line from the article:
In March 2017, WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of files detailing the CIA’s spying operations and hacking tools. The leak, known as Vault 7, was the largest disclosure of classified information in the agency’s history. In April, Symantec publicly linked Vault 7 to an advanced threat actor named Longhorn. Kaspersky then announced it tracks the same actor as The Lamberts, and revealed the existence of an OS X implant called Green Lambert.
Yeah, but that doesn't say what you think it says:
> Cybersecurity writers, such as Ben Buchanan and Kevin Poulsen, were skeptical of [the false flag theories]. Poulsen wrote, "The leaked catalog isn't organized by country of origin, and the specific malware used by the Russian DNC hackers is nowhere on the list."
Ohhhh I see, I didn't connect the "lineage": Vault 7 leak from CIA, Symantec says stuff in Vault 7 is from Longhorn. Thanks for pointing out the obvious for me haha :)
