29. From what I've read, Sanders campaign reported the October incident to the DNC. DNC owns the system;

therefore it is incumbant upon them to work with their vendor to address security and other systems issues. If the IT company didn't hear about the problem, that suggests that the DNC failed to follow through on the problem report.

I've also read that the October incident involved a different system than the one in this incident. I don't know if that is true, but if true, it may have involved a different part of the same company.

Sanders campaign isn't making up the October incident. Their lawsuit cites the DNC's failure to correct the problems that Sanders campaign brought to their attention back in October. They aren't so foolish as to file a lawsuit and put reputation, campaign, and careers on the line on a made up incident.

It seems more likely that DWS/DNC's backing down from their stance just hours ahead of the hearing suggests that when they looked into it, they realized they had failed to follow through on the October report, that trying to make a mountain out of a molehill was doing them far more damage than the Sanders Campaign, and that maybe it wasn't the best way to distract attention away from the GOP circus.

To what location do you think they saved the results of their searches? JDPriestly Dec 2015 #153

I assume the vendor found this data on their own website. It was not exported from the website. JDPriestly Dec 2015 #149

And where were the files stored? On NPG Van's website. That's where. In plain sight. JDPriestly Dec 2015 #163
