> Who said they did nothing to stop it?

OK, I admit, I took the optimistic route. The pessimistic one would be they knew for months, they tried for months to stop it, and they failed, and they didn't tell anyone about it. That sounds even worse to me.

> Primarily, any initial entry into one government system

DNC is not government. At least not yet :)




Freudian slip or what.

I trust you understood what I meant, regardless.

I’m willing to believe it’s possible they failed. I recall talks by a former NSA director about the dire need for improved cybersecurity programs and it wasn’t well received at the time— in light of all the patriot act business

Maybe it’s a wake up call?
