I'm not 100% convinced of that.
I haven't read everything on the subject (so correct me if I am not up to date), but I read one report that suggested the firm that made that determination has political ties, some of the information needed to make the determination was not made available, and there hasn't been an independent verification.
But the biggest red flag to me was Wikileaks and the Seth Rich murder. It's quite possible the Russians hacked the US (same as we hack everyone also), but they were not the leakers.
Assange says it was not the Russians that leaked emails and confidential info.
Seth Rich was employed at the DNC.
He was murdered in a "robbery.
The robbers didn't take anything.
Wikileaks offered a reward for information about his murder and Assange was quoted as saying that wikileaks whistle blowers often take huge risks releasing information.
The math of this is difficult to calculate. Either wikieaks is in some elaborate attempt cover for the Russians and is risking destroying its reputation or Assange is telling the truth. I'm leaning towards him telling the truth. I think it's more likely the leaks came from US citizens that were sick and tired of the way the democrats were doing business. That does not exclude the possibility that Russians, Chinese, Brits, Israelis and everyone else is hacking the US also.
