Report: Russian Hackers Phished The DNC And Clinton Campaign Using Fake Gmail Forms (buzzfeed.com)
Citing a report from SecureWorks, BuzzFeed is reporting that Russian hackers "used emails disguised to look as Gmail security updates to hack into the computers of the Democratic National Committee and members of Hillary Clinton's top campaign staff":
The emails were sent to 108 members of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign and 20 people clicked on them, at least four people clicking more than once, Secureworks' research found. The emails were sent to another 16 people from the DNC and four people clicked on them, the report said.
Researchers found the emails by tracing the malicious URLs set up by [state-sponsored hacking group] Fancy Bear using Bitly, a link shortening service... "We were monitoring bit.ly and saw the accounts being created in real time," said Phil Burdette, a senior security researcher at SecureWorks, explaining how they stumbled upon the the URLs set up by Fancy Bear.
The URL apparently resolved to accounts-google.com (rather than accounts.google.com), and Burdette says "They did a great job with capturing the look and feel of Google."

You are welcome on my lawn.
You think Clinton's campaign is feeling desperate? Vegas is paying out 6-1 on Trump presidency, but you know better, don't you?
What will their odds be in 3 weeks?
That would be the odds of note.
Was she a complete failure back then? Or is she lying now?
What is "both"?
now tell me about what I win Alex!
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
If the Guccifer 2 rumor is true and a week before the election he is gonna drop a hidden cam vid of Hillary calling a black female staffer a "stupid n*gger bitch"? I'd be happy to take those odds, you could make a killing!
And for anybody that doubts she would say that? Read what Billy's former secret service said about Hillary, her calling them something like that would probably be considered a nice day as according to them she treated everyone that worked for her like slaves and talked to them about as well.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
wsj.com is paywalled. As far as I can tell from that link you posted, it could have just as easily been the Russians, or even space aliens, who firebombed that office.
