[ From July 25, 2016 ] The DNC used incredibly weak passwords like 'obamain08'
Business Insider ^ | July 25, 2016 | Paul Szoldra

The Democratic National Committee was apparently using incredibly weak passwords for some of its accounts, according to internal emails recently published online.

An email thread from May 2016 reveals that an account for the party's press email, dncpress@dnc.org, apparently had passwords such as "Obama-Biden-2012" and "obamain08" at some point in time.

Yeah, those really really smarter than us people in the democrat party. All anyone had to do to hack them was guess their passwords according to Assange and Guccifer.

Hilarious!

I was on 4chan one night after the latest Wikileak dropped.

Podesta hadn’t changed his password AFTER he’d been hacked.

Some idiots on 4chan went into his Apple account. Posted photos. Downloaded whatever he had on there.

These folks aren’t the brightest bulbs. The “hacking” was likely the result of losing Blackberries (Podesta lost 2 or 3) or some ticked off DNC worker who didn’t like Bernie getting shafted.

And then didn’t CHANGE his password after he’d been hacked.

I think Hillary fell for one of those as well.

I think the DNC one was an inside job. Surely someone there was pissed about the complete collusion.

Back in WWII the British obtained an enigma coding machine and some code books and started trying to decode Nazi messages. They needed a 6 letter operator to operator code word which was locally established at command level to unlock the entire layering of keycodes.

Overtime somebody over at their skunk works plugged in an unbelievable 6 letter word that worked. HITLER. They couldn’t believe the stupidity. But it was just that! Stupidity.

The Russians hacked that?!?

Seems like any 12 year old could have deciphered those passwords.

Note to CIA:

A ten year old bored navy brat learning how to hack in her basement in Vladivostok is not the equivalent of Soviet military intelligence!

Pedophile Podesta wasn't even that smart:

Believe it or not

Pedophile Podesta's Password

Note to CIA:

The CIA like DOJ and FBI work for Hussein Obama.

As a minimum the liars at DNC/Hussein central need to discredit Trump.

With enough support from the media and the snowflakes, Hussein might be able to arrest Trump for treason as he helped the Russians..... Yeah, that's it.

Do NOT underestimate what Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, will do to sabotage the US.
