FBI took months to warn Democrats of suspected Russian role in hack: sources
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-democrats-reconstruct-idUSKCN10E09H?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews One of the anonymous sources who spoke to Reuters claims that "the lack of full disclosure by the FBI prevented DNC staffers from taking steps that could have reduced the number of confidential emails and documents stolen." Last fall, the FBI warned DNC employees to keep an eye out for "unusual activity on the group's computer network," without letting on the potential seriousness of the hack. The DNC didn't find any suspicious activity, but when staffers asked the FBI for more information about the attack on its system, the agency declined. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
