The controversial American security firm CrowdStrike, which was called in to investigate the alleged Russian hack of DNC servers in 2016, had no proof that any emails from the system had been exfiltrated despite public assertions that this had occurred, according to the transcript of an interview released by the US Government a few days ago.

The transcript was from an interview conducted with CrowdStrike president Shawn Henry by the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in December 2017, but only released to the US Special Counsel Robert Mueller who conducted a two-year inquiry into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential poll.

While the exfiltration of emails from the DNC server has been accepted as a proven fact, Henry's answers to queries from committee members make it clear that this was definitely not the case.

In one typical exchange, Henry was asked, "What about the emails that everyone is so, you know, knowledgeable of? Were there also indicators that they were prepared but not evidence that they actually were exfiltrated?"
To this Henry responded, "There's not evidence that they were actually exfiltrated. There's circumstantial evidence - but no evidence that they were actually exfiltrated."

Henry told the panel that CrowdStrike had become a part of the investigation after a contractor working for the DNC contacted him. The FBI had notified the DNC that it had been hacked and that the intrusion was believed to have been carried out by a foreign power.
Asked why the FBI had not taken the lead in the investigation, Henry replied: "In these types of cases, my experience typically has been notification made to the victim about what has occurred in their environment, not that the FBI would typically come in. And they certainly wouldn't conduct a remediation."

Henry said CrowdStrike had begun its analysis of the hacked servers in May and the process had taken about four to six weeks, after which remediation commenced. The DNC was still vulnerable while the analysis was taking place.

While he claimed the network environment had been cleaned up by the remediation, Henry also said that in September another attack was noticed which CrowdStrike could not mitigate with the tools used to fix the first attack.
