A Clinton Campaign Aide’s Typo Allowed Hackers To Access John Podesta’s Email Account

A Clinton campaign aide says that a typo in a March 19 email sent to John Podesta is to blame for opening the campaign chairman’s Gmail account up to Russian cyber hackers.

The IT aide, Charles Delavan, tells The New York Times that his error — typing the word “legitimate” instead of “illegitimate” to describe a hacker’s email — continues to haunt him.

“This is a legitimate email,” Delavan wrote to Clinton campaign aide Sara Latham after she forwarded him an spear phishing email designed to look like official correspondence from Google.

“John needs to change his password immediately,” Delavan added, while also providing a link to a Google page that would have allowed Podesta to safely change his email password.

Does not pass the smell test.

Why does she have a boy’s name?

[rktman]

My first thought. Russians? When did they get dragged into this? Lol. There wasn't much credibility to begin with. Sadly there's lots of folks who believe it. 😜

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Why does she have a boy’s name?

Because she's a faggot.

[RockyTx]

this is propaganda.

we just don’t know what happened

“...opening the campaign chairman’s Gmail account up to Russian cyber hackers.”

Jumping to conclusions. How does the Clinton IT joker know the “hackers” were Russian? In fact, how does he know the emails were hacked? He has no proof. He’s guessing for a reason.

[ifinnegan]

Yes.

I don’t believe it.

The DemocRAT party is saturated with perverts and freaks.

Why are people not evaluating Podesta in this? He is in charge of what is a short term project with a budget of a $Billion dollars plus, hundreds of paid employees and thousands of volunteers. Show me someone in the private sector today who has that amount of responsibility who is so naïve, that even after being warned in 2008 to not use Gmail for campaign activities then, continued to use it into 2015. He’s a fool. And falling for a spear phishing ruse in 2015 proves it.

“As The Times reported, the FBI knew as early as last September that a collective of Russian hackers known to the bureau as ‘The Dudes’ were attempting to hack the Democratic National Committee.”

LOL. Sounds solid. Let’s start a nuclear war /s

[jimjohn]

total horse crap.

This is the man who handed us the election.

Thank you Mr Delavan. I know you won't appreciate the honor but in the future you very well may be considered one of the saviors of our country. Note: I said our country, not your country. A witless and unwitting savior you may be but still a man whose action may very well have been the deciding factor in keeping the beast out of her seat of power. Your duty done, please feel free to shoot yourself in atonement to your Mistress, the Evil One herself, Hillary Rotten Clinton.

Fake news

“Look for a case of Arkincide in the future.”

Already happened, so that an “Example”, as discussed in the Podesta Emails, could be made.
His name was Seth Rich

[PghBaldy]

The reason Hillary lost is her parents’ spawned an unlikable freak!

[Freedom56v2]

How in the world would the aide know the hacker was Russian?

[Salamander]

He sniffed his router and it smelled like Borscht.

[Mr Apple]

"This is the man who handed us the election."

I wonder how long before this guy gets Vince Fostered in a park somewhere.

[Kickass Conservative]

He should have typed FAKE, not illegitimate.
