Wikileaks Releases Nearly 20,000 DNC Emails | The Daily Caller
Wikileaks believe in radical transparency, but my biggest issue with this leak is that it contains the names, emails, addresses and even passport numbers and SSN's of democratic party donors.
Head to the site and you can search for terms in the emails:
https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/
A search for 'Contribution' turns up hundreds of emails, containing personal information of donors (not dem officials).
1. This has nothing to do with Hillary's private server
2. This really calls into question the integrity of wikileaks, not that this is the first time they have published the names of innocents with wild abandon. At the end of the day, they are a foreign organization.
3. This is very likely going to be a cloud hanging over the DNC next weekend. I don't know the exact nature of what's in all the emails, but I'm sure there will be many people out there who will be looking for anything suspicious.
3. This massively highlights just how vulnerable we are as a country to attacks of a cyber nature. We are probably the country with the most in the world to lose from bad IT security practices, yet our govt insists on backdoors and ways in which they can spy on American citizens to 'keep us safe'.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Also, if you have donated to the democratic party in the last year or so, might be worth checking your name to see if it's there. I'm not sure what you'd be able to do about it, but knowledge is power.
Wikileaks has released nearly 20,000 emails it says are from the accounts of Democratic National Committee officials.
The leaks come from the accounts of seven key figures in the DNC: Communications Director Luis Miranda (10770 emails), National Finance Director Jordon Kaplan (3797 emails), Finance Chief of Staff Scott Comer (3095 emails), Finanace Director of Data & Strategic Initiatives Daniel Parrish (1472 emails), Finance Director Allen Zachary (1611 emails), Senior Advisor Andrew Wright (938 emails) and Northern California Finance Director Robert (Erik) Stowe (751 emails).
