Forensic analysis
has identified Guccifer 2.0, the alleged "hacktivist" who stole the DNC's e-mails, as a specific Russian intelligence officer. Although Guccifer usually used an anonymizing service to conceal his IP address, there was one occasion when he logged onto a U.S. site without remembering to do so. That slip led to a real IP address which could be, and was, traced to a specific agent. --Bob

I will say that the Daily Beast isn't exactly a prime news source. I would wait to get some confirmation from a bit more reliable source.
