Hacker Guccifer 2.0 claims new DNC data leak
Another batch of documents has purportedly been leaked from the Democratic National Committee’s servers by the hacker who goes by the name ‘Guccifer 2.0’. The files describe some democrats as “wobbly” on the controversial Iran nuclear deal and provide details of major celebrity donors such as director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks.
The hacker provided The Hill with a cache of documents covering political strategies, next week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and fundraising efforts, the website reported Monday.
Guccifer 2.0 appears keen to keep their activities in the spotlight. Last month the shadowy figure (or group) claimed responsibility for the recent attack of DNC servers and published a purported dossier of Hillary Clinton-related documents.
The Hill reports that the latest batch of document contains a file titled “March 26, 2015 – Plans for Recess”, which appears to be notes from a call with political consultancy Democracy Partners. The file covers political strategies for the April 2015 Congressional recesses. The note addresses five topics: immigration, the budget, gun violence, stalling of the attorney general nomination, and the Iran nuclear deal, which was announced April 2, 2015.
The document reportedly describes the Iran nuclear framework as a “good deal to protect national security” but adds that “wobbly [D]emocrats want to scratch this thing.”
Why dont they just release some hillary emails they hacked and make this election really interesting!
I agree with the vami.No why they do not ...
Will be interesting to see if it actually plays any role in the coming campaign.
Generally stuff like that requires investigative journalists actually digging, asking questions, and reporting in the open. I don't anticipate much of that from the majority of the media.
