"-- Flashback: The Russians may have initially targeted the DNC opposition researcher who was responsible for building the dossier on Manafort. From Yahoos Michael Isikoff on July 25: Just weeks after she started preparing opposition research files on [Manafort] last spring, Democratic National Committee consultant Alexandra Chalupa got an alarming message when she logged into her personal Yahoo email account. Important action required, read a pop-up box from a Yahoo security team We strongly suspect that your account has been the target of state-sponsored actors. Chalupa who had been drafting memos and writing emails about Manaforts connection to pro-Russian political leaders in Ukraine quickly alerted top DNC officials. Since I started digging into Manafort, these messages have been a daily occurrence on my Yahoo account despite changing my password often, she wrote in a May 3 email to Luis Miranda, the DNCs communications director, which included an attached screengrab of the image of the Yahoo security warning.
