Russian government hackers penetrated DNC, stole opposition research on Trump

By Ellen Nakashima June 14 at 11:30 AM

Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach.

The intruders so thoroughly compromised the DNC’s system they also were able to read all e-mail and chat traffic, said DNC officials and the security experts.

The intrusion into the DNC was one of several targeting American political organizations. The networks of presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were also targeted by Russian spies, as were the computers of some GOP political action committees, U.S. officials said. But details on those cases were not available.

A Russian Embassy spokesman said he had no knowledge of such intrusions.

The DNC forgot to press the reset button.

How times have changed. When Reagan was president, the Russians and the DNC worked closely together.

So, they read all of their correspondence....not just the Trump stuff. It lays out the game plan and budget issues in the campaign. And did the DNC fire their IT department?

Not try BigGirl, the question is When did they send it.

Remember Putin is like the mob, he'll give a favor for a favor in return, you know like lets do a joint effort to get rid of ISIS, Mig 29's and F-15E's doing sorties together...

What makes you think that has changed?
DNC, inept or traitorous, doesn’t matter.
They should be in a cell.

Well, the Russian ambassador said he didn’t know anything about it, so I guess it never happened. I mean, you wouldn’t lie about a thing like that.

Long ago...probably explains how they did this hack. No telling what the she-beast compromised with her 'secure' server.

I would think the Russians would want to deal with President Trump rather than President Hillary Clinton but you never know.

I'm sure there are plenty of DNC operatives who would be more than happy cooperate with the Russians and give them anything they want for the asking. The Russians didn't need to waste their time and energy in breaking in. Same would go for the Chi-Comms or the Saudis. They're all friends and have the same goal in mind -- Death to America.
