Was it a breach or was it strolling in through a door that was propped wide open?

Oh, I’m sure that’s all completely coinkydinkal…

The fact that the cloud has been accepted by almost everyone to store data proves the power of Marketing in this day and age. There is NO WAY I would store anything in the cloud that I cared about… but then again I grew up in the age of the mainframe when just about the only way to hack one was to do it from the inside. I remember the constant warnings being sent out regarding MVS being hacked… ohh wait… I was doing mushrooms at the time and it was all a dream

Does this mean Trump is running as a Democrat?

Lest we forget.

Sniffit is of the are you paranoid enough thinking. You could see plausible deniability as a why.

Or it could be no honor among thieves. Like anything from the traitor supporting gop can be believed or trusted.

What about 2016-17? Not askin for a friend.

After all, they share the same bed sheets.

Or it could be that you don’t have an effing clue about what happened.

The reporting (all of it) says it was a breech of a third-party IT vendor and that no RNC data was lifted FYI. Typically the sort of reporting includes specific (and accurate) information about what was accessed by the hackers.

So what’s the lie? Did the Russians really get everything or is the lie that this was a serious attack and not a false flag to give the R’s cover as Russia goes all out trying to destroy the Democratic Party? “They tried to hack us too! We’re not in on it.”

There are hundreds of GOP insiders that would turn the data over to Russia for half of what they are paying the hacking operations.

That ship has already sailed. Though I suppose it’s good to update occasionally.

And where would that info come from? WHO would be providing it when that kind of thing is reported? Who are the only people who know what might have been accessed or stolen and the substance of what it was…or whether anything was really stolen at all?

You can count on just about every attack they ever made about Hillary being really about what they are themselves doing. Even the too-masculine/girl cooties ones, if you consider the weird super-pumped-Trump iconography that is increasingly prevalent in GOP circles.

The Ozarks are in a shitload of trouble right now, the Delta variant is raging, vaccine conspiracies are rampant, and it’s the height of tourist season in Branson. My family from the area has called Silver Dollar City “Whitey World” since I was a kid - my one time there as an adult verified that title (though I hope to God there has been some progress in the last decade and a half). My family always disparaged the newcomers who’d moved down from Chicago “to get away from the blacks”. And boy there were a lot of those people.

It’s not just that the people who live there, one of the Trumpiest areas in the nation, will suffer. It’s like Spring Break in Florida: tourists will carry those germs with them back to their own communities, in other states, because the people who go to Branson are not likely to be the kind who got themselves vaccinated in the first place. The Delta variant doesn’t need any help spreading, but it couldn’t have found itself a better incubator.
