The United States sees evidence that hackers, possibly working for foreign governments, are snooping on the presidential candidates, the nation's intelligence chief said Wednesday. Government officials are working with the campaigns to tighten security as the race for the White House intensifies.
The activity follows a pattern set in the last two presidential elections. Hacking was rampant in 2008, according to U.S. intelligence officials, and both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were targets of Chinese cyberattacks four years later. Despite that history, cyber experts say neither Donald Trump's nor Hillary Clinton's campaign networks are secure enough to eliminate the risk.
Eight years ago, foreign intelligence services "met with campaign contacts and staff, used human source networks for policy insights, exploited technology to get otherwise sensitive data, engaged in perception management to influence policy," the document said. "This exceeded traditional lobbying and public diplomacy."

Yeah, like here.
It’s not like someone has their campaign server unsecured in the basement of their house or something like that.
Even though it was the SAME SERVER used in her 2008 campaign.
So what?
Abu Dhabi just wants to make sure it’s $100 million investment in Hillary is being spent wisely.
Hillary Clinton's network should have some experience in being hacked by foreign countries. They started doing that 30 minutes after she set up her home brew Secretary of State server.
The homegrown sneaky RATS are more worrisome.
Our country - and it’s security are lame under Obama. ONE MORE REASON TO VOTE TRUMP.
What the hell are we paying our ‘security’ people for??? They can’t protect us from anything..
They've all been reassigned to spy on Republicans and anyone who wants to keep America great (and normal).
Lol
Bingo!!
Mrs Bill (the rapist) Clinton, who gets much of her campaign money from foreign countries (through the Clinton Foundation sometimes), probably gives them the password to her campaign private areas.,
Soros
Password to Hillary’s private areas?
Huma can have it. Me no likey.
Indeed
6500 per month for rack space, plus, 6500 a month for their security shield. Can’t imagine not doing this for 13k a month. These are large operations.
"What the hell are we paying our ‘security’ people for???"
We're paying them to *say* they're protecting us. In fact they're only pretending to protect us. Cue the next FBI terrorism Press Release - in about four months - where they parade a mentally challenged young Muslim male they spent 19 million dollars and 10 months cultivating and encouraging and finally providing with a 'bomb.'
"They can’t protect us from anything."
Oh, they certainly could. That trillion dollar budget and literal army of tough men could wrap it up in 3 months. Instead they and their government are ***instituting and expanding the Jihad***.
Their might will become quite evident when they finally decide "it's time."
