    A simple question: the RNC was a target of hacking but it failed so why do the dems keep complaining?
    http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-hacking-republican-party-may-have-failed-2016-12

    So what the DNC was "hacked".....lolz! It was a phishing scam. It does not take much skill to pull this off it only takes some rube to fall for it. The democrats got what they deserve. There are all kinds of bad actors trying to hack computers. If you do not protect yourself properly you will more than likely be hacked. That is just common sense.

    What I love is that the FBI just march into Cohen home and office and seized his unencrypted computers and hard drives.

    I have nothing of either interest or value to law enforcement but such a raid would get zero information of worth from me due to my encrypting every hard drive I own a matter of course.

    Oh my browsers are all in a sandbox that is wiped after every session so good luck in getting a trojan into my system by way of the internet.

    Hillary never heard of a firewall. She was a computer illerate Sect of State. But once the Ruskies got all her info from her server, and the FBI wanted to see it, she hired a private firm to check it out and then report to the FBI. But then she was an expert at destroying the hard drive. Too bad the FBI didn't let Cohen hire a private firm to tell the FBI what was in his files. And we're supposed to trust the leaders of the FBI?

    President Trump, the vast right wing conspiracy and Elvis.

    Sounds like the DNC could use your expertise.

    Lot of people have my level at the very least of computers networks security.

    It almost a crime for example to be walking around with important information either your or others on a laptop, when hundreds of thousands repeat hundreds of thousands are stolen at US airports alone every year, that are not protected by state of the art software and or hardware.

    Strongly suggest beginning by going to this website and download the free software that is being constantly audit by experts in the security field with patches being available as soon as a problem is found.

    For hard drive protection

    You think a spam filter is all that's needed?

    BTW, when did the word "may" become definitive. I always thought of it as a conditional modifier. Oh wait I know its NEWSPEAK.

    But DNC was the least of it. Hillary's server was hacked by foreign intelligence, compromising the daily intelligence briefs to Obama, and much more.
    Then there are the 22.1 million people who had their deepest identifiable information stolen by the Chinese - under Obama's watch.
    Also in 2016, the FBI was hacked by an unsophisticated 15-year-old boy who released the name of every undercover agent to the dark web.

    Who are these dummies?

    It failed because Republicans are actually competent ROFL. These are not "Sophisticated attacks". You wanna know a more sophisticated attack than what the Russians did? A DOS attack(Denial-of-Service). If the Russians REALLY wanted to influence the election, how about consistently bombing HRC's website with DOS attacks?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

    And so my friend, it's not that I'm pro-Russian, it's that I'm anti-insanity. They weren't hacked, they weren't attacked in some compromising way. They clicked on a freaking link and didn't check the spelling of the email address.

    They were incompetent and don't want to admit to their incompetence. You see, it's a lot less 'alarming' and self-important sounding to say "Yeah, we goofed up security wise."

    The Dems were idiots. You probably practice more sophisticated cyber security than Hillary, the DNC and the FBI did.

    It's not the Russians necessarily, it's not the Republicans or Trump. It's them and Queen Hillary. And only when they look in the mirror can they truly put 2016 behind them.#Democrats take self responsibility

    She knew enough to hire someone to wipe her server and smash her devices.

    Spoken like a true anti-American Trump cultist.

    The rest of us regard an attack on our election system as an attack on America. Doesn't matter where or how it happens.
