The DNC Can’t Blame This One On Bernie – Russian Hackers Have Had ACCESS To DNC Server For A YEAR!

[Segami]

Does anyone remember the massive hubbub that surrounded the Democratic party back in late 2015 when it was revealed that a Bernie Sanders staffer had accessed the DNC voter database? Establishment elites ran around like headless chickens while Sanders quickly apologized and the staffer was removed from the campaign. Then the DNC overcorrected and barred one of the two Democratic candidates from having access to key voter information as a overzealous punishment. Well all of that sounds pretty funny with the breaking news that the DNC has been an open book for Russian hackers for nearly a year now.


The group of elite hackers have also attempted to access other important government files and databases, but they struck gold when they gained access to the DNC’s server, particularly obtaining a wealth of information on the Democratic party’s opposition information on Donald Trump. In addition to gaining a massive amount of Trump information, the hackers also were able to read all email and chat traffic during their perusing. All political campaigns gather oppo information on opposing candidates to give them plenty of dirt to reveal at-will when the time calls for it. Often, the information is never even revealed to the public. But now, the treasure trove of anti-Trump arguments the DNC were keeping hidden away for a rainy day are now the happy property of faceless Russians.


Citizens of a nation who have a frosty relations with the United States know more about Donald Trump’s dark dealings than the citizens of the nation which might elect him. Who knows what Russians will do with that information? And why are we just now hearing about this major breach? The DNC have known about it for about a month as the FBI alerted them to the breach back in May, and yet none of us were the wiser. The news seems to be coming out now because the DNC has finally taken action to boot out those who were infiltrating the database for a full year. Now, they claim that things are all safe and clean again.

Democrat Darling (/s) Debbie Wasserman Schultz had this to say about her failure as DNC chair:

“When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately. Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network.”

Yeah, we bet you did, Debbie Dear. We already knew that the DNC was a massive embarrassment, but this is just too much to bear. We’ve been calling for an overhaul of the party for months, but now it’s a case of someone needing to take the fall for this massive error in security. At the very least, we are owed an explanation, and fast.

1. Will DWS nicely ask the Russians to apoligise for this breach?

[Exilednight]

2. she's going to demand that the Russians fire someone before granting them access again.

[Hoyt]

3. One more day to blame it on Clinton.

[Segami]

6. What are you mumbling about?

Do you people ever read the content of these posts?

[Hoyt]

9. I read it, it's BS. Either you or other Berners will figure out a way to blame Clinton, just like

did when Sanders' staffers stole data.

[Segami]

11. So you already know what Bernie supporters will do or say..

before it actually happens?......Spoken like a true weathervaner!

[Marr]

10. Nope. It's basically religious adoration.

They seem to consider it a virtue to ignore unflattering realities.

[yodermon]

21. What, is the hillary Group going to replace GDP or something? n/t

[peace13]

4. Yet Hill supporters still blame Bernie.

[randome]

17. For losing the nomination, yes. Not sure what else he can be blamed for.

[peace13]

22. The OP was about the DNC computer hack.....

[Sancho]

5. New reveal from wikileaks!

The Ruskies got the password from an insider who signed emails "Bernisovich Sandislav". The FBI is investigating to identify the culprit!!!

[Faux pas]

7. Go

away debbie, you've done your worst, it's time to retire.

[NWCorona]

8. The most worrisome part if I was a donor or DNC head

The DNC said that no financial, donor or personal information appears to have been accessed or taken, suggesting that the breach was traditional espionage, not the work of criminal hackers

[TwilightZone]

12. "her failure as DNC chair" - nonsense

Unless she's personally responsible for data security, it's not her failure. Start with the technology director or the IT/security staff.

You really have no clue how anything works, eh?

[Segami]

14. You really have no clue how to respond...eh?

But then again, personal attacks are the weapons of choice for your crowd.

Carry on......

[randome]

18. They end up muddling every issue.

Some of us agree that DWS needs to go. But then there's crapola like this, wild and hyperbolic finger-wagging that makes me hope 'they' never get their wish. Just as they helped turn me against Sanders so I wouldn't have to put up with them again.

[Ohioblue22]

13. Bernie has too much trouble with a 1040

[Vinca]

15. Now I'm doubly glad I've refused to donate to them.

[eastwestdem]

16. Can we blame Jane? She is apparently the computer savvy one of the couple. nt

[apnu]

19. I've read that the breech involved spearphishing.

Proving again, that the weakest link in security is people. Its always people. *sigh*

[TheBlackAdder]

20. That is one inept data center. Next, they'll reveal 2.5 million credit cards records were stolen?

.


Of course, that revelation might not be admitted until after the November election.

[JudyM]

23. What is *not* being said. Based on what they got, they very likely have plenty of Clinton skeletons

as well. How I wish I had more trust in her.

[AngryAmish]

24. Put aside party for a second:. This opens up all sorts of politicians to international blackmail.

That is fucked up and heads need to roll.

This is exactly what Nixon did.
