A suspected attempt to hack into the Democratic National Committee’s voter database was actually a cybersecurity test, the organization said.
The DNC, which was hacked by Russian intelligence officers during the 2016 presidential campaign, said Tuesday that it had contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation after being alerted to an apparent phishing scheme by the computer security firm Lookout Inc., which uncovered a replica of the login page to the DNC’s VoteBuilder database during an online scan.
In a statement early Thursday, Bob Lord, the DNC’s chief information security officer, said the DNC and its partners who reported the site “now believe it was built by a third party as part of a simulated phishing test.”
The test mimicked attributes of a real attack on the committee’s voter database but wasn’t authorized by the DNC, Mr. Lord said.

What a joke.
I’m starting to believe the circuses in bread and circuses is the leftist media.
Is this the Russian hacking thing?
Yes, it was conducted by that well known Russian firm- Lookoutsky
It thought this "fact" was hotly disputed. No one, not even Mueller has stated this as fact, as far as I can tell.
Where are they getting this "fact"?
The DNC would do us all a favor, if they only reported when they haven’t been hacked.
They really do suck with computers. She did it intentionally. Lock her up.
...and Bill is Chelsea’s daddy.
Is the DNC this stupid or are they just pretending to be this stupid? Or maybe they just want us to believe they are this stupid while they hone their election and voter fraud skills.
Aw, so you mean to tell me that they smashed all their hard drives for nothing?
Honesty now. How wonderfully transparent are we now, what with Lanny Davis making noises about computer crime for a server never turned over to the FBI. No evidence extant to this day is there?

Of course it was fake... they ALREADY killed Seth Rich...
“The DNC, which was hacked by Russian intelligence officers during the 2016 presidential campaign”
Everyone seems to just blindly repeat some version of this mantra like it really happened -— but can anyone actually prove it???
You cannot be serious...
Just the Awans using their new password. They had to move to Pakistan from D.C. and log in.
I was so worried.
They really don’t want anyone to look at that server!!!
