The Democratic National Committee contacted the FBI on Tuesday after it detected what it believes was the beginning of a sophisticated attempt to hack into its voter database, a Democratic source tells CNN.

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 page was designed to look like the access page Democratic Party officials and campaigns across the country use to log into a service called Votebuilder, which hosts the database, the source said, adding the DNC believed it was designed to trick people into handing over their login details.
The source said the DNC is investigating who may have been responsible for the attempted attack, but that it has no reason to believe its voter file was accessed or altered.

1. We will have to rely on tech companies to prevent Hacking of mid-terms as the govt

2. Ask TAD

3. Do you ever ask yourself why he hasn't been indicted yet?

The pins and needles must be excruciating.

6. Mueller has a long list. I'm a patient person. Mueller has it all.

Your mockery is noted.

[Autumn]

7. Please share Mueller's long list since you claim to be in the know.

Mockery? Aren't you eager to get to the bottom of this?

[Wwcd]

8. You could just ask TAD. He knows.

[Autumn]

9. I don't need to ask him. If he were in on it the FBI would already

have been on it from the last DNC hack. I would think that would have been a priority. YMMV.

10. You don't know that they aren't now. But TAD knows

Bye Autumn.
Enjoy your day

12. I remember the released report concluded that Russian President

Vladimir Putin personally ordered the hacking of the DNC and e-mails from key staffers in order to damage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. There was some talk of it being an insider at the time but never verified. Tad Devine is not a DNC insider is he? I am very much enjoying my day.

I have worked on campaigns in six states. You use Votebulider on a daily basis.
