Apparently the leader of her campaign is a man who fell or the most basic of phishing attacks:
An email arrives asking him to click on a link and enter his email / password etc .. and he does so! WTF!
Those sneaky hackers with such immense skills .. ! And so they have access to all his emails and they leak the juicy ones.
Pensioners with alzheimers and kids wouldn't even fall for that, this is the most basic thing hackers have been doing since the last CENTURY.
it should be part of a basic driving test before being allowed behind a computer, and if you fail it you don't get to play.
I need to get his address and tell him I'm a Nigerian prince

My favourite part of this story was the query on what the FBI did when they realised a hack had taken place.

When I've talked to learners about the internet I couldn't stress enough to them the importance of being incredibly wary about any email or web page remotely like that, and this guy is running a US presidential campaign. It's not like he's going to have interesting emails is it, and people might want to see them, and target him?
But then you hear about these people that get cold called telling them they have to move their money into another account for safety and they do it .. and of course never see it again. How much common sense does it require to realise a bank could do that itself if it wanted and wouldn't need to ask you and you are being conned

I'd have more sympathy if it was that he'd used Yahoo. Yahoo have been getting hacked for years, it was obvious, they did nothing about it, it was amazing they got away with covering it up for so long.
