All Signs Point to Russia Being Behind the DNC Hack

This tactic and its remarkable success is a game-changer:
exfiltrating documents from political organisations is a
legitimate form of intelligence work. The US and European
countries do it as well. But digitally exfiltrating and then
publishing possibly manipulated documents disguised as
freewheeling hacktivism is crossing a big red line and setting
a dangerous precedent: an authoritarian country directly yet
covertly trying to sabotage an American election.
