(19,653 posts)searches using Bernies data and queries. NGP-VAN and the DNC said it could not happen back in October, but it would happen at random times. Bernies data director then went to try and prove to NGP-VAN and the DNC that it did happen by deliberately doing a search on HRC data and saved that data on the DNC servers with filenames indicating that it was Bernies group that did it. And that was where everything blew up.
The law suit goes back to a 2008 event where a candidates data was (perhaps data-leaked) leaked to the Clinton. I do not believe the stated whose data it was though. I personally believe it was Obamas data.
A data leak during a database query is when you are searching the database using certain parameters and you receive back proper results along with results that do not match your criteria.
When a person goes online to look at their banking data and you query the banks database. Your search parameters are your account number and a date range. Now a data leak (how they are referring to it) occurs when you might get a record or more from someone else account or maybe a few records from a different year or month. Now trying to prove that you keep getting incorrect information to your bank is a problem when overtime they check it, it looks fine. If you pull up your bank data and it has someone elses data and you show it to someone, that is against the law because you accessed someone elses account. But you did not do it, the software allowed it to happen.
