Nearly 80 interviews with Americans targeted by Fancy Bear, a Russian government-aligned cyberespionage group, turned up only two cases in which the FBI had provided a heads-up.
If you were targeted by Russian hackers, and you happened to be a high level government official, would YOU admit to it? This is like asking a room full of thieves if they robbed the bank. I think it's more likely the FBI DID notify many of them that they had been targeted, but like the DNC, it either got lost through the cracks, was ignored, or possibly seen as some political ploy.

Being targeted by hackers (or being informed of that by the FBI) isn't analogous to thievery.
