Clinton campaign also hacked in attacks on Democrats
- retox 10y agoAttacks on Democrats, or attacks on the Hillary campaign?

- fleitz 10y agoAt this point, is there a difference between the DNC and the Hillary Campaign?
- douche 10y agoWith the WikiLeaks releases of the past week, it certainly appears that the DNC is in her back pocket. EDIT: Really, flagged... whatever.
- tptacek 10y agoBoth, as the article makes very clear.
- my_first_acct 10y agoThese articles about (allegedly) state-sponsored attacks seem like a proper topic for HN, because we have people here who could discuss, with some degree of authority, how confident we are that a particular state was actually behind the attack. Unfortunately, the comments section usually turns into a geopolitical flamefest, and the entire thread gets flagged into oblivion. Is there a way for the moderators to keep one of these threads alive, while aggressively modding the geopolitics?
- imtaevra 10y agoAny thread about HRC usually gets flagged into oblivion before the geopolitical flamefest can even begin.
- tedunangst 10y agoI'm not sure how anyone here could say anything about which, if any, state actors are responsible. The available details are scarce and mostly come from not unbiased sources. To put forth one alternative hypothesis, let's say I'm a disgruntled insider who wants to cover my tracks. How much it take for me rent a couple VPS instances to launch password guessing attacks against a few staffers, triggering the "danger danger nation state hackers danger" warning in yahoo mail? $20 worth?
- Mikeb85 10y agoIs it an attack on Dems, or is their security just that shit? As if no one would be interested in hacking Trump or the GOP... People need to stop pushing the narrative that the Dems are victims, and realize that all governments, corporations, etc..., are targets. The ones who get hacked are the ones who are incompetent. Edit - tell me I'm wrong. All I've seen is the HRC campaign try to blame Russia for leaking the fact they conspired with the party against Sanders. As the old saying goes, don't shoot the messenger...
