Center for American Progress and Arabella Advisors have reportedly been targeted
Russian hackers are blackmailing U.S.-based left-of-center organizations after hacking their email in search of embarrassing information, Bloomberg News reports.
At least a dozen groups have faced extortion attempts since the U.S. presidential election, said the [unnamed sources], who provided broad outlines of the campaign. The ransom demands are accompanied by samples of sensitive data in the hackers possession.

Because liberal useful idiots are more gullible than average people, it’s easy to get them to click on ransomware virus links.

The only way this could be more delicious is if you added raisins.

Unless they were doing something ILLEGAL, there is no reason to pay the extortion money. Right?
Innocent people don't get blackmailed.

Why are the Russians always in the drivers seat with their technology?

The ironic things is that for the vast majority of the last 100 years, the Left has luved the Russians. Not so much anymore, especially since they ditched Communism and learned to love the Eastern Orthodox Church again.

It’s not just the Russians. Criminals in general are far more innovative with the use of new technology. Ditto for the Porn industry.

Because many liberals lead such hedonistic lifestyles that they are easy fodder for blackmail?

But consider that the “criminal, of the first part”, is actually dealing with the “criminal, of the second part.”

here's how you could say that without an f-bomb:
they are better for one reason. Math.
Math is like a second religion to them, followed by chess.
Also, decades of having to use less powerful, more primitive computer hardware taught them to understand the machine level far better than most of us.
When you can mess with the BIOS, youve got it down.

Bleed them all dry. Since Trump is reducing foreign aid and liberals love to spend their money on foreign aid.
