If the dnc website was not adequately configured it is not hard for any competent IT person to exploit the vulnerabilities. For example, once you determine which type of web server (which version of the code), which type of backend database , etc.. they are using, it is simple to look up whether or not these have been patched and are secure. Most of the time they are not and you can find scripts (that is, software) or snippets of code that have been written to demonstrate how to do it. You can even hire people to do it for you. So even if Roger Stone was not a computer geek he well could have been coordinating the efforts on behalf of Trump's campaign.
