In one instance, a group which funds protests against Trump is being blackmailed by Russian hackers. Terrible! BULLET POINTS: Post-election crime wave by attackers demanding bitcoins! Center for American Progress said to be among victims! The FBI and private security firms are in the process of investigating the hacking of Progressive Liberal Groups. At least a dozen groups have faced extortion attempts since the U.S. presidential election, said the people, who provided broad outlines of the campaign. The ransom demands are accompanied by samples of sensitive data in the hackers’ possession.

You know they're going to do it!
I wonder what they have to blackmail? You can’t cheat an honest man.
...a group which funds protests against Trump is being blackmailed by Russian hackers.
They blame everyone else for everything anyway, will parry any attention to their enemies, have the press as allies in the destruction of their opponents, and have and will always do so anyway, with impunity.
IMHO
Bitcoins?
Is that the currency that the new Leftist Confederacy will use?
We will smash yer electronic wallets!
Keep in mind we really have NOT seen the content of Clinton’s emails.
What they hell can they blackmail them for? They thing being queer or a communist is cool and brag about it.

From article:
In one case, a non-profit group and a prominent liberal donor discussed how to use grant money to cover some costs for anti-Trump protesters.

It appears those who are being hacked are paying the ransom demands. In several different cases, the demands have ranged from about $30,000 to $150,000, payable in untraceable bitcoins.

Russian hacking group COZY BEAR, who was believed to have hacked the DNC is now under investigation, but the investigators say it is hard to pin down hacking groups. This group is still under investigation from the DNC hack, but it appears they have not been pinned down yet. The hackers are targeting liberals groups connected to the Clintons and Obamas. This is quite interesting.

Along with emails, the hackers are stealing documents from popular web-based applications like SharePoint, which lets people in different locations work on Microsoft Office files, one of the people said.
Or, Weiner’s emails, or Huma’s emails, and on and on.
LOL
Boris and Natasha are at it again.
