Moments ago the newswires lit up with news that the Clinton Foundation was among the organizations breached by suspected Russian hackers in a dragnet of the U.S. political apparatus ahead of the Nov. election, Bloomberg reports.
- CLINTON FOUNDATION SAID TO BE BREACHED BY RUSSIAN HACKERS
As Bloomberg adds, the attacks on the foundation’s network, as well as those of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, compound concerns about her digital security even as the FBI continues to investigate her use of a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state.
A spokesman for the foundation, Brian Cookstra, said he wasn’t aware of any breach. The compromise of the foundation’s computers was first identified by government investigators as recently as last week, the people familiar with the matter said. Agents monitor servers used by hackers to communicate with their targets, giving them a back channel view of attacks, often even before the victims detect them.
That's the official version, and one which accurately focuses on the porous security at both the DNC and Clinton Foundation servers.
What really happened is that earlier today, the infamous hacker Guccifer2 - who as we reported previously, revealed himself as the individual who penetrated the DNC server (which was also blamed on Russian hackers) and revealed to the world the DNC's "attack files" on Donald Trump, among others, including the Clinton mega donors - released another data dump which he titled as the "Dossier on Hillary Clinton from DNC."
