During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on supposed Russian election tampering, a security expert revealed that Russian hackers targeted 109 Clinton staffers in just one month.

Thomas Rid, a professor at King’s College in London, told the committee that the Russian military intelligence agency, GRU, targeted the Clinton camp with “phishing emails”:

In early March, GRU began to train its well-established, semi-automated targeting tools from worldwide military and diplomatic targets to US political targets. Between 10 March and 7 April, GRU targeted at least 109 Clinton campaign staffers with 214 individual phishing emails (with eight more attempts on 12 and 13 May). [Thirty six] times Clinton staffers clicked a malicious link (the success rate of actually breaching the account after a victim clicked this link is 1-in-7). Russian intelligence targeted Jake Sullivan in at least 14 different attempts beginning on 19 March, each time with a different malicious link against two of his email addresses. GRU targeted Hillary Clinton’s personal email account at least two times in March, but the available data show that she did not fall for the password reset trick. The military intelligence agency also targeted DNC staffers with 16 emails between 15 March and 11 April, and 3 DNC staffers were tricked into clicking the treacherous “reset password” button on 6 April 2016.

Apparently Clinton, who claimed that she didn’t know what a “c” on a document meant, at least knew enough not to fall for the phishing scams.

Well, I would hope that this whole dog-and-pony show comes up with something better than the Dems’ whining that the Russians sent them some phishing emails because they proved that they are dumb enough to fall for it (remember John Podesta?).

I’m not saying it’s a good thing, of course, but this is pretty pathetic. It’s even more pathetic to think that this kind of stuff doesn’t go on all the time, and if some phishing attempts are what the Dems are pointing to in their claims that our democracy was undermined, well, that is to laugh …

The Democrat National Committee failed to properly secure their cyber situation and got burned, leading to the leak of legitimate emails that exposed the Democrats for what they are.

Podesta and others were targeted by “phishing scams,” and some of them, including Podesta, fell for it.

But hey, let’s continue this big fat waste of time to deflect from the mess that is the Democrat Party by whining about some phishing emails that totes undermine our democracy … Not the fact that Dems are dumb enough to fall for them, no, the Russians!

If this is the best the Democrats have, 2018 should be fun.
