The Democratic National Committee's entire database was hacked by Russians!

It's amazing how patehtic Democrats are at securing their computers. Hillary purposely used her own server allowing hackers, but now we see that the entire Party is inept at securing Government informtion.

Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

"The intruders so thoroughly compromised the DNC’s system they also were able to read all e-mail and chat traffic," the paper said, citing committee officials and security experts.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, confirmed the breach.

“When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is ...," Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. "Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network.”

The Post quoted U.S. officials as saying Russian spies also targeted the networks of Trump and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as computers of some Republican political action committees.

It said some of the hackers had access to the Democratic National Committee network for about a year "but all were expelled over the past weekend in a major computer clean-up campaign."

I can't forget that interview in which Senator McCain confessed about his getting "intimate" with ISIS. He was blushing like a young girl.

Or, the photos of him and Al Bagdadi together.

I suspect that the hackers had probably compromised some ISIS - owned computers, only to find traces leading to people like McCain and HRC.

This would have made it possible for them to compromise some computers owned by these people. Which in turn would have made it possible to install key loggers on servers in the DNC network and/or intercept domain admin credentials on these servers.

Directly hacking the DNC network seems like an impossible thing to do, because the network is extremely well protected from outside threats.
