NGP VAN says they were never alerted to such a problem,
-snip-
Just one problem: NGP VAN says they were never alerted to such a problem, and in interviews on Friday afternoon, the former Sanders data director, Josh Uretsky, says the glitch being referred to wasn’t even with the VAN. It was a different program. So not only did the Sanders campaign commit a lie of omission in their fundraising email, it appears they outright lied about the earlier problem to the press. Or, at the very least, this was yet another instance where many people inside the Sanders campaign don’t seem to be on the same page.

[Update: However, Wasserman Schultz seemed to indicate in an interview in CNN last night that they did know about the October issue, and seems to imply it was with the VAN. I’ll check to see if this is really the case, or if she didn’t understand which database she was talking about.]

I must be doing something right if you're giving me instructions. Best Birthday present ever! Thanks, and bless your heart. You have made this old lady's day (even if you didn't mean to-lol!).

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 …

They knew that what they were doing was wrong.
People continue to use the excuse that "they turned themselves in" (or words to that effect) as if it were some sort of proof that they meant no harm. Complete nonsense!
It means, most likely, that once they realized that their activity and identities had been detected, they had no other choice than to do so. (I'm reminded of when a convenience store's security video is released on local news ... the perpetrators know that it's only a matter of time before someone turns them in ... so they do so themselves, "voluntarily," to help minimize any punishment that's coming their way.
In truth, if these actors had been merely trying to "prove a point" or demonstrate a proof-of-concept or the methods that could be used, then they'd likely have used their iPhone to make a video recording that documented their activities. (I also know that there's real-time screen-capturing software that makes an actual video of the on-screen activity.)
Why didn't they do that? What better way to demonstrate to the world that they meant no harm and that it was just an innocent demonstration of the system's vulnerabilities?
Well, I'll tell you why. No, rather... their highly targeted and specific search queries speak for themselves!!
People continue to make hay (or try to) about the claim that "no files were downloaded" (or words to that effect). But that's a lame and transparent parsing of words. Meaningless splitting of hairs.
For example, as I access this website, I can save page after page of data. I can cut-and-paste, I perform screen-prints and save the image to file, I can save HTML files that contain an exact copy of the data that I view on the screen.
Am I "downloading" this site's entire database? Of course not!
Am I "saving system files" from this web site? No.
Do I still have the data that I wanted to keep? Well, duh! Yeah I do!
Even the initial examinations have shown that these actors have saved the data!! What more do you need?
My other favorite parsing of words and muddling definitions are the ones who claim "well her data is still there, so nobody actually 'stole' anything". Totally absurd on the face of it, yet they seem so proud at having thought-it-up all by themselves. (Oh, gag me!)
The other responses of blaming Hillary, setting-them-up, DWS collusion with Hillary, yadda-yadda-yadda, it's just misdirection and deflecting ... pathetic attempts to change the focus and change the discussion.
They reality of all this is that they have NO defense, so they only thing left at their disposal is to put up a good offense. (And by "good" I actually mean "lame".)
What a madhouse this place has become!
