The papers from a lawsuit against BuzzFeed include a forensic analysis by a former top official in the FBI’s cyber crime division.

The 35-page Steele dossier also alleged that Gubarev played a “significant” role in the hacking operation “under duress” from the Russian security agency FSB. Gubarev has also denied that allegation — and the new forensic analysis, conducted by an expert paid by BuzzFeed as part of the suit, provides no evidence to support the claim that Gubarev was involved.
Steele was hired to research Trump and Russia by Fusion GPS, a Washington political intelligence firm whose work at the time was funded by a law firm representing Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee. In court filings, Steele has said the reports represented raw and unconfirmed intelligence gathered from his sources.
The report concluded that technical evidence “suggests that Russian cyber espionage groups used XBT infrastructure to support malicious spear phishing campaigns against the Democratic Party leadership” that resulted in the theft of emails from Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta. In a deposition conducted as part of the libel suit, also unsealed Thursday, Ferrante testified that “the malicious cyber activity described in the Steele dossier was facilitated by using their infrastructure.”
