Morenets is a senior official in the #85thGTsSS that is supposed to be a sophisticated state cyber hacking enterprise that should be operating with a high level of plausible deniability.
It seems they are incapable of keeping their standards high enough to avoid detection/attribution based on the numerous instances of cyber activity which have recently been attributed to the #GRU.
This would seem to be another role which Morenets is seemingly incapable of fulfilling successfully. In the last year alone the following cyber-attacks have been attributed to the GRU.

Despite the mistakes made it may surprise you that Morenets still has a job in the #85thGTsSS, also known as #APT28 or Fancy Bear. It is our understanding that he is in charge of a Directorate involved in Cyber espionage.
We have heard that his staff are not happy with his management. We know that in the lead up to the war with Ukraine staff had their working hours extended by Morenets while he remained on regular hours.
We would like to introduce you to Aleksey Sergeyevich Morenets, a #GRU officer indicted by the US along with 6 others in October 2018. 
He may look familiar to you? Here he is in our tweet of congratulations to Yevgeny Serebryakov, on GRU day, for his part in the failed attempted hack of the OPCW HQ in The Hague.
Morenets and Serebryakov were part of the team intercepted by the Dutch authorities in April 2018. At the time Morenets was described in the press as a bungling hacker after it was discovered that he had travelled under his real name and date of birth.
