How Putin Weaponized Wikileaks to Influence the Election of a President

It's been confirmed the information was hacked by the Russian government. Information was obtained about Clinton's campaign, as well as Trump's.

In late April, the DNC's IT department noticed some suspicious behavior and contacted DNC chief executive officer Amy Dacey, according to a DNC official. Dacey reached out to DNC lawyer Michael Sussmann, a partner at the Perkins Coie law firm and a former federal prosecutor specializing in cybercrimes. Sussmann called Shawn Henry, the president of cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, to get his company's help. Within 24 hours of the first signals that something was amiss, CrowdStrike was brought in to install monitoring software to analyze the details of who was responsible. The DNC has also been in contact with the FBI since the hack was discovered.

"At DNC, COZY BEAR intrusion has been identified going back to summer of 2015, while FANCY BEAR separately breached the network in April 2016. We have identified no collaboration between the two actors, or even an awareness of one by the other. Instead, we observed the two Russian espionage groups compromise the same systems and engage separately in the theft of identical credentials," Alperovitch wrote."

Now where does your article's SOURCE say the "Russian Government" hacked the DNC email accounts and released the questionable emails that are NOW JUST SURFACING .... In FACT the person disclosing the information says ...

one group got "credentials" A YEAR AGO and a second "group" got "credentials" in APRIL 2016 .... THREE MONTHS AGO!!!!!!

It IS CLEARLY STATED that the two hackers were not connected or coordinated .... so if they were actually "Russian government hackers" that statement would not be and could not be TRUE!

Now do you want me to diagram and analyze your "source" further?

Like I said ..... this is one of those HillariousNoMore "video" stories!!!!

The sad part of this ridiculousness is ... #1: they expect the general public to buy it lock, stock, and barrel. #2: You believe it. #3: It admits HILLARY'S EMAIL IS STILL NOT SECURE even after all her bullshit, and #4: Trump was correct about the "rigging" of the system against opponents of the Clintons!!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week ... watching the DNC Circus/Clowns.

Whoever hacked Hillary's emails can also get to Trump's, correct? So why didn't they show his emails? I'm sure the RNC emails have some damaging details as well. Ever think of that?

Despite hildebeest's disingenuous denials, hildebeest's server was both more vulnerable and a higher value target than the DNC's computers, Silly Suzy Simpleton.

Sue, doesn't the content of the emails bother you?

Not necessarily. It depends on their security. We already know that securing email is not something Hillary cares about. Trump may have smarter people working for him.

to answer you, well....I think of everything

perhaps trumps emails wern't hacked

besides trump and the rnc aren't deviously deceitful so even if hacked, there's not much of a surprise to them

although this is seemingly in the process of changing, dimocrats, heretofore, could not get elected by telling the American people what they truly think, believe and want to do. they have always used euphemisms and word redefinitions, of which, they themselves only knew the meaning and, of course, half truths

while conservatives state exactly their positions

and trump? being the least politically correct candidate ever, does not hide much, or anything, at all

even the sandernista's are chanting "lock her up"

Trump may have smarter people working for him. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

You can't get much more email secure than that!!!

What does that have to do with anything? Putin is exerting more and more power over Russia and is moving toward a totalitarian type government. Brexit is moving in the same direction, with extreme right wing leaders and they have left the European Union. Trump also thinks we should leave NATO. Brexit is excited about Trump and so is Putin. These leaders are all extreme right wing or authoritarian type leaders. Get it? It would be the end of democracy as we know it. See this article:

Brexit And Trump Show The Rejection Of Liberalism

If the ‘Brexit’ side wins, so do Trump and Putin

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/.../#.V5YMZEYrLnB

Trump will likely call these developments proof that the U.S.’ 67-year old commitment to NATO, backed up by 67 years of investments, has gone bad, and that Clinton mismanaged U.S.-European relations. In fact, if Brexit pulls Britain out of the EU-wide defense policy and weakens EU security plans, those developments will enhance NATO’s role and importance, especially as a bulwark to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ambitions to weaken European resolve, and sow trouble between the U.S. and its most important allies.

The downside for Trump in using Brexit as evidence of his own canniness is that his criticisms line up pretty closely with Putin’s. They both say that the multilateral trade agreements of the last half-century have undermined the traditional economic arrangements they favor. They both also see Muslims as threats to the values and order they have each sworn to restore.

On NATO and the U.S.-European alliance, Trump’s views also align more closely with Putin than with U.S. strategy under every president since World War II. And why not — after all, Trump and Putin are equally committed to “Make America (or Russia) Great Again.”
