A Clinton campaign aide says that a typo in a March 19 email sent to John Podesta is to blame for opening the campaign chairmans 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 hackers 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.

Who forwards a phishing email? I delete them before anyone else opens in my company.

“Because everyone in the world read them?”
Everyone in the world may have read leaked emails. Where is the proof that they were hacked?
Hillary and the anonymous sources says they were hacked; Assange and Murray say they were leaked.
Who to believe?

Nothing about that photo looks real. Looks like a girl with thinning hair from some guy carefully photoshopped over it.
And that is some sloppy English.

This guy is lying to cover his ass. He was careless, and thought it was legitimate. Legitimate/illegitimate is not a typo, and not likely to be confused between each other.

With auto complete,I can believe it. Auto-complete wouldn't have put an "a" before the word if he meant to type "illegitimate".

I thought they’d said it was a YouTube video that caused all this.

Obviously the Russians planted this story as a diversion.

Where do you suppose Guccifer 2.0 is from?Moldova. And proud of it — he claims his hack is his personal project.
Your guess?

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.
