Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign released a statement on Friday afternoon calling for a swift investigation into the breach of its voter data by members of opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) staff.
Brian Fallon, Hillary for America's national press secretary, wrote that the campaign was "informed that our proprietary data was breached by Sanders campaign staff in 25 searches by four different accounts and that this data was saved into the Sanders' campaign account."
"We are asking that the Sanders campaign and the DNC work expeditiously to ensure that our data is not in the Sanders campaign's account and that the Sanders campaign only have access to their own data," he continued.

Hard to see how this is just a campaign helpfully trying to alert a vendor of a problem. http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-12-18/sanders-campaign-fires-data-director-after-breach-of-clinton-files …

(1,145 posts)that Hillary's campaign think they've actually gained some sort of advantage with voters by stooping to dirty tactics and trying to smear Bernie's campaign.
This has done nothing but fire up and piss off a lot of voters, and that's not good for Hillary at all. Bad strategy and advice cost her the nomination fight against Obama and making the same mistakes over again (something she has a tendency to do quite often).

(5,668 posts)thats this IT's fault and DNC for not fixing it . not sure how one can blame anyone but DWS

(1,307 posts)... the fault of the vendor, the dnc or clinton, what they did was both stupid and unethical. And it was entirely in within their ability to refrain from doing so.

(80,849 posts)The logs tell the story of who got what information. If the Clinton camp had tapped into the Sanders camp information and searched it for specific information--you can bet the farm, they would have let the media know by now. Instead what we have in the logs showing the the Sanders staff tapped into the Clinton proprietary data and did specific searches for specific information
"the logs show the Sanders staffers took deliberate steps to harvest and store the information."

Sanders Campaign’s Breach of Clinton Data More Serious Than Disclosed
Sam Frizell @Sam_Frizell
Updated: Dec. 18, 2015 3:48 PM
...............According to data reviewed by TIME, the Sanders campaign appears to have obtained files with lists of voters that the Clinton campaign had cultivated in 10 early states including Iowa and New Hampshire.
Beyond simply reviewing the data, the logs show the Sanders staffers took deliberate steps to harvest and store the information. According to the logs, the Sanders staff created from scratch no fewer than 24 lists—consisting entirely of data pulled down from the Clinton campaign’s database—and saved them to their personal folders.
The logs show the Sanders campaign accessed the Clinton data for nearly one hour beginning around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday. The Sanders staffers were apparently able to view unique voter information along with accompanying information about how likely the voters were to vote for the various candidates, crucial information that the Clinton campaign has likely spent millions of dollars to collect.
The Clinton campaign called for a clear accounting of the breach.
“We were informed that our proprietary data was breached by Sanders campaign staff in 25 searches by four different accounts and that this data was saved into the Sanders’ campaign account,” said spokesman Brian Fallon. “We are asking that the Sanders campaign and the DNC work expeditiously to ensure that our data is not in the Sanders campaign’s account and that the Sanders campaign only have access to their own data.”
Moreover, the Sanders staffers who carried out the breach included a top lieutenant for the Vermont senator: Josh Uretsky, the national data director for the campaign.
The Sanders campaign denied that it had downloaded any data, saying that it did not retain information from the Clinton campaign.
“They didn’t download it—they went in looked around,” said Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs, who announced Thursday the campaign was firing Utersky and that they were treating the matter seriously.
Uretsky also told MSNBC that the campaign “did not export any records or voter file data” and was simply trying “to document and understand the scope of the problem.”.................

(4,211 posts)Now who's campaign do ya suppose that data got leaked too hmmm? I'm sure that the pro hillary DNC and pro hillary vendor surely didn't send it to hillary's campaign... cause they'd surely know that if it ever got out, that'd be the nail in the coffin for her chances.
By the way, the independent investigation is coming, and you might want to start praying.

(28,017 posts)Instead, before I suggest that you take a realistic view and see how this petty over-reaction by Debs w. Schultz will backfire and energize those who neither trust nor like Hillary, (which is a hell of a lot more than you folks) I would quote Dick Cheney on the senate floor.
But I repeat myself.

(4,711 posts)If they had any brains or could just read the writing on the wall they'd be calling for the Sanders campaign's access to be restored. Now they're going to face the same ignominy as the DNC when they're finally forced to back down.

(8,175 posts)They asked for an audit and investigation to ensure he only had access to his data (and any data of Clinton's wax not available to Sanders any more. They are waiting for some kind of audit and investigation to "clear him" and to ensure all their data is secure before he has access to DNC's vorter data lists.
They did not say anything about wanting his access to voter data restored.
You are reading something into this that just isn't there.

(816 posts)So who is responsible? The four that accessed the Clinton account. There is one thing to taking a peek and saying the firewalls been breached, another to saving the data to Sanders account. I do agree Sanders account should be restored after Hillarys data has been deleted.

(1,095 posts)Don't like the Twitter crap further in the article. "Fallon was much more candid on Twitter, where he said the Sanders staffers who viewed the voter data may have gotten "a pat on the back." That was unnecessary.

Why ....................................
I asked Schultz in every e-mail that I get and got from her to remove me from the DNC list-----------------------just because I am registered as Democrat and bleeding heart progressive, I can ask to be removed from the DNC list for a reason, I have also tried to "unsubscribe" and I still get e-mails asking for money.
My money is going to "Progressive candidates for a reason", and not the other way around for a reason , her vote, Shultz's vote on TPP was the last straw.
And, I have been getting e-mails from everyone of the candiates that voted for this TPP------why would I give my money to them.
I gave my sole source information to the Sanders campaign for a reason and not to Clinton's for a reason.
I just find it ironic that when the CWA endorsed Sanders this comes out-----------------

(12,882 posts)the DNC & Hillary KNEW of this breech-ability (hey! They'd been alerted) and just laid low to see if it was exploited. Screw the circumstances by which it was violated - OR how it was ultimately revealed. Hell - everything else about the coronation is rigged! How hard are my contentions to accept?
If you can take GOBS of campaign dollars from villainous financial institutions and yet turn to the common folk and tell them how you only have THEIR best interests at heart - you can do ANYTHING and still have a clear conscience. No wonder she - like Trump - is in the lead. Both are pipers for the ignorant.

(53,999 posts)after Bernie's donations began to pile up after the hostage taking of files and people began to vow not to support Clinton if she's the nominee. The first statement issued all but called for Bernie's arrest. I suggest the Clinton campaign will be sitting on pins and needles while the independent audit takes place since it seems someone accessed Bernie's files in October and I doubt it was Martin O'Malley.
