DNC Had Virtually No Protections for Its Electronic Systems, Donna Brazile Is a Bald-Faced Liar

Of course the DNC chair disagrees with the story (1:30 video), and she says that they had excellent security and the bestest of everything. Who is lying?


So in addition to Podesta the brilliant falling for a phishing attack he also misplaced his phone. Huma and HRC leaving their smart phones on a bed in a Chinese Hotel in China, we also now know that the DNC had almost no protections for their electronic systems.
And Podesta the brilliant didn't sign up for the 2-factor authentication on his Gmail account. HRC added to the fun by losing 12 electronic devices and of course the basement unsecured served that HRC thought was super groovy to keep classified docs on.

In addition to John Podesta falling for a phishing attack and misplacing his phone, and Huma and Hillary leaving their smartphones on a bed in a Chinese hotel in China, we now know that the D.N.C. had virtually no protections for its electronic systems, and Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, had failed to sign up for the “two-factor authentication” on his Gmail account.

Let’s not forget that Hillary couldn’t keep an electronic device – she lost more than a dozen devices – and she kept an unsecured personal server in her basement and in a bathroom closet, with copies of secure data given to lawyers, showing up on Anthony Weiner’s laptop and printed out by a maid.

Any one could have hacked the DNC, with flimsy passwords and processes to secure their hardware and emails, it's little wonder that they were hacked.

Even my meaningless email accounts have two-factor ID and are safer than theirs were. Anyone could have hacked them. After the phishing incident, the jpodesta account went all out and used the password, p@sswØrd. That doesn’t sound un-hackable.

They didn’t even have an SSL certificate.

The language being used is that the hack was so sophisticated that it could only come from the top echelons of the Russian government. Any idiot could have hacked them.

The CEO of Alphabet [Google, gmail] Eric Schultz was working for the Hillary campaign!

As an IT professional, I can't help but think that rather than worrying about how to punish a hacker, some effort into NOT BEING HACKED AGAIN might be the best way to go forward. But I'm not a leftie, so obviously nowhere near intelligent enough to make suggestions on this level.

Just like laws are to prevent/punish other crimes so are the laws that punish hacking.

But as an IT professional you should also know it isnt really possible to stop state sponsored actors from getting into a system they really want in, which is seemingly the case with at least the DNC emails.

You are correct. You have to educate the end user to not be an idiot. With that factor added in, my job becomes infinitely more difficult, but a challenge is fun if you can let it be just that.

I'd be out of a job if people didn't make stupid mistakes.

I think there's a reason our society's poor and outcasts vote democrat, and it's not because they are sophisticated, intelligent, or competent. While usually the leadership of any group trends towards the better of the whole, as that's where money and power reside, it seems through affirmative action and popular mandate the democrats have allowed some of the underlings to lead the charge. Enter stage left the democratic power brokers of 2016.

Ha....she said "we thought there were times when they would penetrate us".

Well...they, whomever "they" is, DID penetrate you...in more ways than one.

Really all I can come up with is stupid, childish humor when it comes to this piece of trash, Brazile....

I can't believe anyone is even giving her the time of day in the media anymore with the lies she's been caught telling.

I honestly can't believe she isn't called on it daily but so goes MSM....

I can't understand why the DNC even allows Donna Brazile to talk for them anymore.

She has been totally discredited.

What a mess.

Thank you God these people will have NO power come Jan. 20th.

Because they haven't learned a #ing thing from this election.

They still 'know' they are smarter than the rest of us and if they just keep telling us that enough times maybe we will 'wise up' and listen to them.
I feel bad that they have to deal with us ignorant masses, don't you?

Sounds like the DNC is the smartest person in the room with a bunch of yes men for underlings that all have permanent cheese eating grins on their stupid faces.

Imo, the issue of hacking and whodunnit is secondary (distraction) to the emails content.

But thats buried as deep as the weapons trafficking thru the Ben Ghazi embassy.

Right!?
Boy that got shoved to the side in all the DNC's panic to blame Russia. How about we keep digging into the corruption of the Clinton's and the Democrats, rather than this circus they've created as a distraction.

Good luck. The only thing(s) you have to contend with is the mass media, the whole bury it gubment apparatus, the Pentagon, the factories for war, the banksters... and all the ordinary people that have been fooled and misled by the circus of distraction.

It's amazing how that point is glossed over in all these threads. that poor 1000 pound gorilla is getting lonely there in the middle of the living room.

Come now she is a Democrat, and a useful idiot. You will know when the DNC is done with her.

Either she will not be heard from again or she will be used as a scapegoat.

As if I would believe one word that came out of that women's mouth! HA!

She should just try real hard to stop talking. I don't think she has a choice in the matter, just like CNN has no choice but to interview her.

This controlled media is getting more and more obvious.
