DNC ‘Hacking’ Attempt Was Actually Just a Test

“What the DNC this week thought was an attempted hack of its valuable voter file turned out to be a security test organized by a state party, unbeknownst to the national organization,” the Washington Post reports.

“The committee on Tuesday alerted the FBI to a fake online portal it thought had been set up as an elaborate attempt to trick DNC staff into giving up their log-in credentials — through a hacker technique known as ‘phishing’ — as a way to gain access to the party’s VoteBuilder database.”
