CIA: RUSSIA ACTED IN ELECTION TO BOOST TRUMP
CIA: Russia acted in election to boost Trump
8:26PM
In a secret assessment shared with key senators, CIA briefers said it was now "quite clear" that electing Trump was Russia's goal, the Washington Post reported. "It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other," a senior official said.

Rumor:

I heard the in the Podesta email hack, the phishing email was sent to IT for review but when they responded the word "illegitimate" in "This is a illegitimate email" was auto-corrected to "legitimate" and so Podesta opened it giving the Russians access to his gmail.

As disheartened as I am that our country's politcal process was supposedly heavily influenced by another country I can't help but think how many times has the US done this to other countries?

This is true, according to the IT guy. What seems more likely is that when the Podesta aide ran that e-mail by IT, IT was fooled (stupidly) and said it was legitimate, and to act on it immediately. At the very least, he was unclear about how serious it was to avoid that fake e-mail and change the password in a secure way.

That Times article is pretty freakin nuts. The DNC looks terrible and the FBI looks even worse.

Quote:
Shawn Henry, who once led the F.B.I.’s cyber division and is now president of CrowdStrike Services, the cybersecurity firm retained by the D.N.C. in April, said he was baffled that the F.B.I. did not call a more senior official at the D.N.C. or send an agent in person to the party headquarters to try to force a more vigorous response.

“We are not talking about an office that is in the middle of the woods of Montana,” Mr. Henry said. “We are talking about an office that is half a mile from the F.B.I. office that is getting the notification.”

“This is not a mom-and-pop delicatessen or a local library. This is a critical piece of the U.S. infrastructure because it relates to our electoral process, our elected officials, our legislative process, our executive process,” he added. “To me it is a high-level, serious issue, and if after a couple of months you don’t see any results, somebody ought to raise that to a higher level.”

There's free donuts at the Montana office.

So Podesta's e-mail wasn't "hacked," right? If someone fools you into sending them your password, you weren't hacked--you're just a buffoon.

To hack is to use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system. So yeah, he was hacked.

Spear phishing + imposter website is generally called a hack, but it wasn't like someone broke into gmail. Since China did a few years back. That we know of.
