Guccifer 2.0 Releases More DNC Documents (politico.com)
For the past several months, the hacker who calls himself "Guccifer 2.0" has been releasing documents about the Democratic National Committee. Today, he has released a new hoard of documents. Politico reports: The hacker persona Guccifer 2.0 has released a new trove of documents that allegedly reveal more information about the Democratic National Committee's finances and personal information on Democratic donors, as well as details about the DNC's network infrastructure. The cache also includes purported memos on tech initiatives from Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine's time as governor of Virginia, and some years-old missives on redistricting efforts and DNC donor outreach strategy. Most notable among Tuesday's documents may be the detailed spreadsheets allegedly about DNC fundraising efforts, including lists of DNC donors with names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and other sensitive details. Tuesday's documents regarding the DNC's information technology setup include several reports from 2010 purporting to show that the committee's network passed multiple security scans. In total, the latest dump contains more than 600 megabytes of documents. It is the first Guccifer 2.0 release to not come from the hacker's WordPress account. Instead, it was given out via a link to the small group of security experts attending [a London cybersecurity conference].
What about the large number of donors who, immediately after their hefty donations, received cushy ambassadorships?
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
yawn...
Back in the 1990s email was a lot less secure, but at least if you did get into someones inbox you only had 3 megabytes of email to get at since most of it got tossed after a while since hard drive space was so expensive. I wish we had more options like that.
bernie sanders is better then trump and it not Hillary
Where's the evidence of the DNC specifically employing people to go to every polling place in the nation pretending to be somebody else to vote? Where's the evidence of Hillary having her own personal hit squad? Where are the obvious ties to the Communist party? Where is the document showing how literally Hillary Clinton and President Obama created ISIS?
Surprise! I've submitted this news and slashdot refuses to run it. Just one more example of blatant pro-Trump bias on slashdot.
All of these leaks will (finally?) let everybody know that if you are not "NSA Proof" you are not secure.
My real account has been modded to oblivion. I haven't had a mod point in 20 years.
The last set of documents showed that the DNC broke campaign finance laws and yet absolutely nothing was done about it.
Since any damning evidence in documents from democrats will be ignored, why do they even try? It won't make any difference.
Now, if a similar trove of documents from the RNC was dumped, you can bet the DOJ would be all over it. Under Obama's administration political considerations trump the law every time.
You've got to know that a lot of left-leaning hackers must be targeting the RNC for this same sort of info in order to balance the scales. If the RNC is smart they'll have taken all of it off of internet-exposed computers and limited access to it for even trusted employees. Or, probably better, destroyed it completely. I think this represents the full emergence of cyber warfare for retail political means. What a strange new world awaits.
This is why I don't donate to political candidates or causes anymore. Being involved in politics in this country is just too much of a risk to your livelihood and career these days. And I suspect it'll only get worse.
Enjoy your crow slowly boys.
There is reluctance to take actions base on evidence uncovered by illegally hacked emails. Doing so would invite more entities with political motivations to just hack more. Republicans have just as many (if not more) skeletons in the closet as Democrats. I’d say these are very close to Fruit of the Poison Tree kind of findings. Add to this the suspicion that the Russians are trying to game our political system by hacking and leaking and it all becomes a morass.

And you ask, "Is this all"?
Yes, that's all . . . or so it is alleged.
Ambassadors are largely ceremonial posts, there's no reason to fret about who gets them.
The DNC's problem is that they got caught anointing Hillary as the candidate, completely taking the choice away from voters. That and milking donors to support her and her only.
Really? Cartoon frogs?
Oh No! More White Supremacism!
I can't read. Can someone please tell me if there is anything in the latest release that I can staple-gun to a Clinton supporter's chest before I sexually assault them and spray pepper spray in their face?
The difference is that H usually apologizes when she says something offensive or questionable. T rarely apologizes. T is essentially implying he meant what he said.
Table-ized A.I.
And yet, Hillary limbos under that bar like she's Hermes Conrad strolling underneath the Arc de Triumph.
She's more corrupt, more dishonest, more contemptuous of the law, less skillful in foreign policy, less patriotic, and more contemptuous of those with opinions that differ from her own.
Not to mention the fact Bush held more press conferences in any given month than Hillary has done this entire year.
And Bush was obviously far healthier...
...without his ability, insight or taste.
Yes and no. The maximum salary for an ambassador is under $200k, so a wealthy donor certainly isn't in it for the money. In fact they usually end up spending far more than that out of their own pockets to keep up appearances.
a will known liberal bias
will be run over by a train.or shot in the head.or both.
1.) I haven't read the trove to know if anything is substantially damning. If it turns out to be so, then so be it and let the bits fall where they may.
2.) I'm dismayed at the state of the US being such an easy target for hackers and leakers. Rather than relishing in the embarrassment of partisan foes, how about taking into consideration that all American gov't agencies, NGO's/businesses, political and press agencies as well as private citizens are all at risk. This is not something to be celebrated. It seems nothing is safe anymore in the US. Not good at all.
3.) If I were a true cynic, I would wonder what ugliness might be revealed if the same were done against major US Republican Party organizations. Politics is truly disgusting finding newer lows to reach every day. Does anyone seriously believe this is a one-sided problem?
Because that's wingnut dumbfuckery:
1) There are only two political appointments at the IRS, and the chief was a Bush appointee
2) The only group to be denied tax-exempt status was a liberal one
Now, this is where the chicken-fuckers whine that more conservative groups were investigated than liberal ones - but no shit, Sherlock, that's because the explosion in groups after Citizen United was entirely conservative. Unions didn't have billions to suddenly throw at front groups, that's the Koch's and the Sheldon Adelson's. And unions are of course invested in the other right wing party - the Democrats.
It's not like there aren't legit issues for right-wingers to complain about - Obama signing the NDAA, letting the banks commit the greatest theft in the history of the human race, persecuting more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined times two - but that would require you to be honest for five seconds.
And we can't have that, can we?
Try ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NBC, PBS, Comedy Central, HBO, Washington Post, New Your Times, LA Times, Daily Kos, Huff Po, Google, Facebook, Apple, Fox entertainment, half the folks at Fox News (Krauthammer, Gutfeld, Will, Kelly, Perino, Williams, etc) ....
On Slashdot, you will see very few pro-Trump articles, very few pro-Hillary articles, and a batch of bad stories about Hillary and the DNC.
Why those bad stories?
[a] The Hillary/DNC/Powell hacking is tech-related (bleach bit, "wipe it with a cloth?", multiple servers, 13 missing/smashed Blackberries, IT guys pleading the fifth, etc)
[b] the hacking exposed the DNC-Hillary cabal rigging the 2016 Democrat primary system to support Hillary, which offended many Bernie supporters on Slashdot, and in a round-about way this is sorta related to the Manning/Snowden/Wikileaks issues that are also of interest to Slashdotters and also exposed deceit at high levels of government (which also engages the libertarian streak in many Slashdotters)
[c] the Hillary health stuff even gets interesting because it is involved in [a] and [b] while first appearing to be loony conspiracy stuff (which some find interesting or entertaining) then becomes quasi confirmation of the dishonesty and corruption exposed in [a] and [b] when the woman goes so limp she would have face-planted had the security guys not caught her and then her campaign and the mainstream media were ALL exposed to be covering for her and lying to the public when one average guy caught the incident on his cell phone cam while the ENTIRE press corps completely missed it becase they were all obeying team Hillary and allowing themselves to be coralled and mis-directed. (the corruption of "old media" is also of interest to Slashdotters)
it amazes me to see that so many people are shocked that politics is as dirty as it has been since pretty much the founding of this country.
