From the thread:

I used 0-day exploit of NGP VAN soft then I installed shell-code into the DNC server. it allowed me to intrude into DNC network. They have Windows-based domain architecture. then I installed my Trojans on several PCs. I had to go from one PC to another every week so CrowdStrike couldn't catch me for a long time. I know that they have cool intrusion detection system. But my heuristic algorithms are better.

Looked up the computer nerd goobledygook. Turns out NGP VAN is a program used by among others the DNC to connect with voters. It has had some known safety issues (from Wiki):

Votebuilder is one of the software systems created by NGP VAN. It is used by the Democratic Party to track interaction with potential voters. Votebuilder is used as part of a "get out the vote" campaign to encourage likely supporters to vote in Elections in the United States. The introduction of such software has been called a revolution in campaigning[9] as it allows for very detailed information to be stored, including "every door knock and phone call".[10] The software was created in 2006 to bridge a perceived gap in microtargeting abilities between the Republican and Democratic parties.[11] Along with the central voter database storing the voter information, there is also an app for iPhones and iPads that is intended to be used by canvassers.

2016 Presidential Election

On the 18 of December 2015, the firewall between the voter data collected by various Democratic presidential candidates using NGP VAN's software was reportedly compromised by a patch issued by the company, allowing candidates access to other campaigns' confidential information. The Sanders campaign admitted that their national data director, Josh Uretsky, had been accessing voter information collected by the Clinton campaign, saying he did so merely to probe the extent of the issue before reporting it.[13][14] The DNC then cut off the Sanders campaign's access to the master voter file temporarily until the campaign could bring themselves back into compliance with DNC rules.[15] As this file is necessary for effective voter outreach, Sanders supporters accused the DNC of giving the Clinton campaign an unfair advantage at a critical point in the election. The Sanders campaign sued the DNC in District Court due to a violation of contract. Concurrently they fired the person who accessed the data. The Sanders campaign was given access to their campaign database effective December 19.[16][17]
