[JaneyVee]

Tune in.

[riversedge]

1. I heard that.

[Cali_Democrat]

2. They downloaded and saved the data?

What a bunch of idiots.

[MohRokTah]

3. There needs to be a criminal investigation now.

At least three more staffers need to be fired, too.

[mmonk]

16. Not sure this is a criminal offense

[riversedge]

4. I heard they downloaded --did not hear saved but we will see.

[MohRokTah]

26. And VAN says this is impossible.

http://blog.ngpvan.com/news/data-security-and-privacy

On Wednesday morning, there was a release of VAN code. Unfortunately, it contained a bug. For a brief window, the voter data that is always searchable across campaigns in VoteBuilder included client scores it should not have, on a specific part of the VAN system. So for voters that a user already had access to, that user was able to search by and view (but not export or save or act on) some attributes that came from another campaign.

[riversedge]

[JaneyVee]

14. Here comes the pity party.

[VanillaRhapsody]

9. Dun dun dun!

the plot thickens....

que Sanders Supporters with hair on fire! To the Ramparts Sandernistas!

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Hillary forced Bernie's campaign to download and save the data!

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. Yes and caught Bernie and his NRA packing staff with their pants down!

How embarrassing!

[fredamae]

10. If the truth be known

I'd bet HRC has Bernies stuff

[VanillaRhapsody]

12. THAT truth is NOT known...in fact it was said that the ONLY campaign that did this...Sanders...

why the f would Hillary's people want it to begin with...

[fredamae]

17. Lol....Well it surely could be

if the DNC was honest and played fair instead of being fearful.

Let's sue the DNC. Debbie Jumped the Proverbial Shark here.

[VanillaRhapsody]

19. since when has Bernie played fair with the DEmocrats?

in ALL these years...

disingenuous!

Is that the marching orders you have been assigned to handle this fiasco?

[fredamae]

21. I don't have time for silly

conversations this AM-I'm calling friends and family to make sure they understand we will do a Write In for Sanders and that we must also go after All the members of the Republican Wing of the dem Party at both State Leg and Federal levels.
Enough is Enough.
DWS took out HRC, imo-With this bs.
Havva nice day....great chatting with you...I have Dirt to Scratch and Eggs to Lay...later

[VanillaRhapsody]

23. You sure don't

You need to get out there and get those marching orders to support this failing campaign!

[workinclasszero]

18. Multiple Bernie staffers downloaded and saved HRC info

This is serious.

Bernie historically has been hostile to the democratic party and I'm sure he surrounded himself with people who think the same.

[VanillaRhapsody]

20. especially when you consider the supporters he has on DU

it becomes crystal clear!

I keep getting proven right!

A large chunk of his support are Anti-democratic

[workinclasszero]

22. Indeed

[Persondem]

24. here's a NYT article that states that 4 accounts were involved

"But according to three people with direct knowledge of the breach, there were four user accounts associated with the Sanders campaign that ran searches while the security of Mrs. Clinton’s data was compromised."

From this article

Note that the article was updated as of 12:23 today

Another excerpt ...

"In a statement, Mr. Sanders’s campaign spokesman, Michael Briggs, blamed the vendor for continuing to “make serious errors.”

“On more than one occasion, the vendor has dropped the firewall between the data of different Democratic campaigns,” he said. “Our campaign months ago alerted the D.N.C. to the fact that campaign data was being made available to other campaigns."

So if the Sanders campaign has known about this for months why all of a sudden did they go snooping where they shouldn't have? Seems kinda stupid, even silly.

Anyways.....I doubt it will be a big deal and will be old news in a week or so with Sanders' campaign regaining access to the database.

28. The Bloomberg article says the same thing...four people/accounts

Sanders Accounts Saved Clinton Data During Breach, Audit Says

After one Sanders account gained access to the Clinton data, the audits show, that user began sharing permissions with other Sanders users.

The staffers who secured access to the Clinton data included national data director Josh Uretsky, who was fired on Thursday, and his deputy, Russell Drapkin. The two other usernames that viewed Clinton information were “talani" and "csmith_bernie," created by Uretsky's account after the breach began.

25. Really? 'Cause the vendor claims that is impossible.

27. Wow, that's not what I saw.

But I did see the Sanders campaign is taking the DNC to federal court this afternoon. MSNBC should also be able to find out who breached Bernie's list in October too.

29. Sanders Accounts Saved Clinton Data During Breach, Audit Says

Here are some facts on the downloading http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2015-12-18/sanders-campaign-fires-data-director-after-breach-of-clinton-files

The Sanders team's explanation of the incident has gradually changed since it was first confirmed late Thursday, initially saying that only a single “low-level” staffer accessed the Clinton data and that none of it was saved.

But the database logs created by NGP VAN show that four accounts associated with the Sanders team took advantage of the Wednesday morning breach. Staffers conducted searches that would be especially advantageous to the campaign, including lists of its likeliest supporters in 10 early voting states, including Iowa and New Hampshire. Campaigns rent access to a master file of DNC voter information the party, and update the files with their own data culled from field work and other investments.

After one Sanders account gained access to the Clinton data, the audits show, that user began sharing permissions with other Sanders users. The staffers who secured access to the Clinton data included national data director Josh Uretsky, who was fired on Thursday, and his deputy, Russell Drapkin. The two other usernames that viewed Clinton information were “talani" and "csmith_bernie," created by Uretsky's account after the breach began.

Though the Sanders campaign initially claimed that it had not saved Clinton data, the logs show that the Vermont senator’s team created at least 24 lists during the 40-minute breach, which started at 10:40 a.m., and saved those lists to their personal folders. The Sanders searches included New Hampshire lists related to older voters, "HFA Turnout 60-100" and "HFA Support 50-100," that were conducted and saved by Uretsky. Drapkin's account searched for and saved lists including "HFA Support <30" in Iowa and "HFA Turnout 30-70"' in New Hampshire.

Sanders claim that no data was saved or downloaded is not correct.
