This is very rich. John Podesta’s ignorance of information security is what made WikiLeaks possible vis-à-vis this year’s elections. Among the e-mails released were some from the 2008 campaign - during which some of the campaign staff warned Podesta, in an e-mail message, that using Gmail was not smart. Fast forward to 2015, and not only is he still using Gmail, he falls for a phishing attack which then opens up a ton of informaiton.
Trump needs to announce a wide and deep investigation in his inaugural address, one that not only looks at the leaks and the election, but one that also looks at issues like Google placing their thumb on the scales of public discourse by tweaking their search algorithm to de-emphasize information critical to Hillary Clinton and emphasize information critical of Trump.
Ditto that. You would think after that, he would slither under a rock or disappear in disgrace. His hack was fairly straight forward. As a former IT guy, I would like to see reports on the DNC hack. Was it a super sophisticated hack or was IT security so lax that script kiddies got in and sold to the highest bidder? I am voting for the latter..
