Russian Hackers Kept DNC Backdoor Longer Than Anyone Knew
Daily Beast ^ | 7/13/18 | KEVIN POULSEN

**SNIP**

Today’s indictment confirms every aspect of the DNC’s and Crowdstrike’s account, with one exception. Both the DNC and Crowdstrike have said repeatedly that they went public only after expelling all the Russian hackers.

But buried in the new indictment is language suggesting that Crowdstrike missed a spot, and one computer infected with the GRU’s malware “remained on the DNC network until in or around October 2016.”

If Mueller’s right, it raises the possibility that the Russians gathered months and months of additional intelligence on the DNC—right as the campaign was in its final, most important stretch. The hackers may have even had a front row seat on the DNC’s network that July, when Wikileaks published the hacked emails and the DNC was thrown into upheaval.

ask any libtard, how exactly did the Russians help those people who voted for Trump when they were “attacking” DNC servers? Do the DNC servers count as voting machines?

No, but whoever got the DNC information did the unforgiveable.

They allowed American voters to glimpse the Truth!

Can’t have that!!

Exactly HOW was this known if the FBI never looked at their server??

Has Mueller examined it since??

Imagine what happens if we find out they didn’t need to inspect the server because Obama’s DOJ and intelligence agencies were conducting their own surveillance of the DNC.

Obama is the worst kind of unethical politician. The kind who thinks they are being virtuous. What an absolutely disgusting individual.

This is total BS. Unless law enforcement actually examines the servers in question and positively verifies there was a breach by Russians, I do not believe it ever happened.

But what does any of this have to do with Pres. Trump? The DNC got hacked because of its own incompetence, and the Russians just did what the Russians do.

If the DNC servers were being hacked, why didn’t the DNC EVER allow the FBI to examine the servers? The FBI asked and were refused.

Yes.

Indictments need not provide any evidence or proof.

That must be provided in court at trial.

But there will never be a trial for any of these indicted and Mueller knows that.

It’s purely political.

Russian Hackers Kept DNC Backdoor Longer Than Anyone Knew

I don't recall that anyone knew that there even was a "DNC Backdoor," since the DNC didn't cooperate in any sort of official investigation of infiltration of their servers.

Seems to me like the DNC and the party's leadership completely dropped the soap on their security setup, possibly because they wanted it that way.
