Yesterday, CNN was breathless in their coverage of a “sophisticated attempt to hack” the DNC voter database.

The DNC was alerted in the early hours of Tuesday morning by a cloud service provider and a security research firm that a fake login page had been created in an attempt to gather usernames and passwords that would allow access to the party’s database, the source said.

The DNC and the two companies involved in detecting the operation say they believe they thwarted a potential attack.
