The Democratic National Committee was so worried about the damage Hillary Clinton's family foundation could cause to her presidential ambitions that its researchers compiled their own collection of 'vulnerabilities' that party officials would need to address.

A 42-page collection of problematic news stories, neatly categorized by crisis, is among the 261 documents released Tuesday by the hacker who claims to have broken into the DNC's computer network.

The file, as it existed on the DNC's server, is helpfully named 'Clinton Foundation Vulnerabilities Master Doc FINAL.'

The DNC was not commenting on the authenticity of the document drop, though a senior DNC official told Dailymail.com that 'Russian government hackers' were to blame.

A hacker who is going by the name 'Guccifer 2.0' dropped a large cache of documents he said he stole from the Democratic National Committee, which outlined foreseeable problems with candidate Hillary Clinton

The documents show that the Democratic National Committee was collecting information on attacks that could be made against Hillary Clinton so to ready a political defense

The DNC disclosed a major computer breach last week, with the political committee's IT team detecting the intrusion in late April, retaining the company CrowdStrike within 24 hours to secure the political party's data.

'Our experts are confident in their assessment that the Russian government hackers were the actors responsible for the breach detected in April, and we believe that the subsequent release and the claims around it may be a part of a disinformation campaign by the Russians,' the official said.

'We've deployed the recommended technology so that today our systems are secure thanks to a swift response to that attack and we will continue to monitor our systems closely,' the source added.

The hacker, who calls himself 'Guccifer 2.0,' denies being Russian, telling Motherboard.com that he is Romanian like the original Guccifer, who claims to have hacked Hillary Clinton's homebrew email server and also leaked photos of former President George W. Bush's paintings.

Today 'Guccifer 2.0' released the biggest cache of documents yet, calling them on his makeshift blog 'a big folder of docs devoted to Hillary Clinton that I found on the DNC server.'

'The DNC collected all info about the attacks on Hillary Clinton and prepared the ways of her defense, memos, etc., including the most sensitive issues like email hacks,' he wrote.

This comes at the same time that the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation was also said to be breached by Russian hackers, according to Bloomberg News.

Three sources familiar with the situation told the news site that the hack was first identified by government investigators as recently as last week, though the foundation's spokesperson Brian Cookstra said he wasn't aware of any hack.

One of the documents was titled 'Clinton Foundation Vulnerabilities Master Doc FINAL,' which detailed problems with the foundation, which the Republicans could use in attacks

As for the DNC data, most of Tuesday's 'Guccifer 2.0' document dump was a garden-variety mixture of the kinds of materials seasoned election operatives would expect to find on a political party's network.

Included are copies of Bill and Hillary Clinton's tax returns and Federal Election Commission financial disclosures, speaking engagement contracts for the former secretary of state, travel records and inventories of speeches.

Most of the files consist of endless summaries of news articles, categorized for easy access during a rapid-response fight.

But in one such collection, Democrats went out of their way to vet Clinton, compiling a worst-case-scenario collection of the 'vulnerabilities' posed by the controversial Clinton Foundation.

'The Wall Street Journal tied foreign government donors to the Clinton Foundation's endowment fundraising under Secretary Clinton,' one section is headed.

Another trumpeted: 'Reports that State Department lawyers did not exhaustively vet Bill Clinton's paid speeches during Secretary Clinton's tenure raised questions about the role Clinton Foundation donations may have played in organizing those speeches.'

A third read: 'The Clinton Foundation has accepted donations from individuals, some of whom had ties to foreign governments, during her tenure as secretary of state.'

That, along with a similar warning that the Clinton Foundation 'received donations from individuals tied to Saudi Arabia while Clinton served as secretary of state,' pointed to Wall Street Journal reporting that reportedly raised eyebrows inside the FBI.

The DNC wouldn't comment on the authenticity of the memos, but according to them, the DNC was aware that the Clinton Foundation's ties to foreign governments could be used against Hillary Clinton in the race

Federal investigators are probing for evidence of criminality related to Clinton's own private email server arrangement, along with allegations that she sold access to the secretary of state's office in exchange for Clinton Foundation donations and speaking fees for Bill Clinton.

The former president collected $105.8 million for giving 544 speeches between the end of his White House terms and the beginning of 2012, according to the Democratic Party's accounting, also leaked Tuesday by the hacker. That averages nearly $195,000 per appearance.

The DNC religiously tracked news stories covering apparent conflicts of interest in Clinton's diplomatic office, including foundation donations coming from governments and moneyed interests in Germany, Bahrain, Venezuela and Canada.

The party was also aware, according to its dossier, that the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a project of the foundation, 'did not disclose donors or submit foreign donations for State Department review' during Clinton's time in office.

The project, the DNC noted, was 'bound by a disclosure agreement with the Obama administration' at the time.

The leaks set the stage for what could be a political repeat of the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack of November 2014, when the dirty laundry of major studio executives and Hollywood stars was aired out in the public domain.

The attacks also play into the broader narrative of whether Hillary Clinton was thinking about the security of her data, which is one of the main political problems she's encountered after her unique email and server arrangement at the State Department was uncovered.

Clinton has said that she never emailed classified information using her personal email and blamed retroactive classification when emails were blacked out for security reasons upon public release.

The Clinton campaign said that there was no evidence that their own computer systems had been hacked, according to Bloomberg.

'We routinely communicate and cooperate with government agencies on security-related matters,' said spokesman Glen Caplin. 'What appears evident is that the Russian groups responsible for the DNC hack are intent on attempting to influence the outcome of this election.'

The White House also pointed fingers at the Russians, though took it a step further, making Congressional Republicans culpable too for refusing to fund cybersecurity measures.

'Republicans for the first time in 40 years declined to even hold a hearing on that specific budget proposal, which means that the president has put forward a specific plan, laid out exactly how he believes we should pay for [enhancing] our nation's cybersecurity, and Republicans in the House and Senate have indicated they don't even want to talk about it,' White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, according to the Washington Examiner.
