Seems like the DNC does not have a great track record on computer security. The Sanders campaign filed suit on the DNC. Both Sanders and Clinton may have been able to access each others files.
According to CNN, Wasserman Schultz said:
"[The Sanders staff] not only viewed it, but they exported it and they downloaded it... We don't know the depth of what they actually viewed and downloaded. We have to make sure that they did not manipulate the information... That is just like if you walked into someone's home when the door was unlocked and took things that don't belong to you in order to use them for your own benefit. That's inappropriate. Unacceptable."
Maybe you shouldn't leave your front door open.

The causes of the two issues are quite different - in one, an application doesn't have sufficient internal controls to ensure isolated multi-tenancy. The other is a breech by a malicious outsider.
