Just to make a most important point, this "cyberattack" consisted of setting up a phony website, and harvesting information from people who were dumb enough to log in there. I suspect there was some phishing (e-mail tells recipient to reset their password or something, that way they get the original password and can log in to the correct website) to provoke the idiot marks to log in to the phony website.

That is a world different kind of breach that one where some hacker "magically" gets acceess to your stuff. Typically, the victim participates in disclosing their information.

Remember we talked about this I believe last week. It was also to get money sent to them or donors directed to them. We discussed that quite possibly they don’t have the money they think they do.
