Two dozen veteran Republican foreign policy experts plan to send a letter to Congress on Friday urging it to investigate the cyberattack on the Democratic National Committee's email server, the Washington Post reported.
The letter, which was provided to TPM, cautions that the release of thousands of hacked emails from top DNC officials was “not a partisan issue” but “an assault on the integrity of the entire American political process.”
“Congress has a responsibility to get to the bottom of this extraordinary breach, not only to determine who was responsible but also to consider the appropriate response,” the letter reads, as quoted by the Post..."
I would say the RNC are having their servers checked and double checked.The GOP are up in arms about it, too. They want congress to investigate...

I wonder how many more Democrat servers have been hacked.
Here is a list of all the latest hacked server.
1. The DNC
2. The DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Comittee)
3. The Clinton Foundation
4. The Clinton Campaign
And they want us to believe Hillary's private server wasn't hacked.

Jesus. What are their passwords? "12345"?
Actually, the hack the FBI is referring to is not the Clinton Campaign's internal servers; those have been carefully inspected and are supposedly not compromised. The FBI has found evidence that an auxiliary database maintained by the DNC that both the Sanders and Clinton campaign could access for statistics and other data was hacked, apparently by the same Russian hackers who have targeted the DNC, the Pentagon, DOJ and other governmental agencies.
Why aren't we as a nation outraged that a hostile foreign government appears to be deliberately trying to affect the result of an American presidential election... not to mention the ongoing attacks on various areas of our government itself?
I just don't understand.
It is pretty easy to hack. My wife tests software security and finds openings all the time. She does it on a quarantined test server before they put it out for the rest of the company. Just like anything else, if a person doesn't want to be good at what they do then they do a mediocre job and leave openings.
That's over my pay grade, but what little I do know is that there's basically three kinds of means of hacking. 1)Brute force attacks. 2)back doors in the os or site code, and 3)guessing at really poorly chosen passwords. The DNC has taken a lot of flack for being hacked (and oddly very little emphasis has been placed on the fact that Russian hackers are trying really really really hard to influence our election), but if the hacking is through back doors, is that part really their fault?
Another, and very popular, method is social engineering. In fact, human users are most often the weakest link in a secure network.That's over my pay grade, but what little I do know is that there's basically three kinds of means of hacking. 1)Brute force attacks. 2)back doors in the os or site code, and 3)guessing at really poorly chosen passwords.
