The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S.

By ERIC LIPTON, DAVID E. SANGER and SCOTT SHANEDEC. 13, 2016

A second team of Russian-affiliated hackers began to target the D.N.C. and other players in the political world, particularly Democrats. Billy Rinehart, a former D.N.C. regional field director who was then working for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, got an odd email warning from Google.
“Someone just used your password to try to sign into your Google account,”the March 22 email said, adding that the sign-in attempt had occurred in Ukraine. “Google stopped this sign-in attempt. You should change your password immediately.”
Mr. Rinehart was in Hawaii at the time. He remembers checking his email at 4 a.m. for messages from East Coast associates. Without thinking much about the notification, he clicked on the “change password” button and half asleep, as best he can remember, he typed in a new password.

What he did not know until months later is that he had just given the Russian hackers access to his email account.
Hundreds of similar phishing emails were being sent to American political targets, including an identical email sent on March 19 to Mr. Podesta, chairman of the Clinton campaign. Given how many emails Mr. Podesta received through this personal email account, several aides also had access to it, and one of them noticed the warning email, sending it to a computer technician to make sure it was legitimate before anyone clicked on the “change password” button.
“This is a legitimate email,” Charles Delavan, a Clinton campaign aide, replied to another of Mr. Podesta’s aides, who had noticed the alert. “John needs to change his password immediately.”
With another click, a decade of emails that Mr. Podesta maintained in his Gmail account — a total of about 60,000 — were unlocked for the Russian hackers. Mr. Delavan, in an interview, said that his bad advice was a result of a typo: He knew this was a phishing attack, as the campaign was getting dozens of them. He said he had meant to type that it was an “illegitimate” email, an error that he said has plagued him ever since.

Democrats love Russians when it's expedient. After this news cycle is ended, they'll love them again.

Perhaps you could show that video of President Obama telling outgoing Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that if given "space," he'll have more flexibility "after my election."

You could float it at the top for maybe the next two months.

This is so disappointing. I was thoroughly convinced that Bush did it.

Those Russians are crazy scary. Why, back in 1960(?), they got Stanley Dunham and Barack Obama sr, to enroll in a Russian language course at the University of Hawaii and budda-bing budda-bang out popped Barry Soetoro who would go on to become the President of the United States.

It's enough to make you take your boots off and stay in bed all day.
Those guys are strong like borscht with the mental judo.
Boris Spasskys, the lot of them.
