China is also growing more adept at targeting campaign workers. But contrary to Trump administration warnings, Beijing is mostly targeting Biden campaign officials.

1. as much as humanly possible, I think the Biden campaign needs to go offline

Yes yes, I know that would be a huge hassle and more inefficient, but it's MUCH safer than risking data.

With hackers, if they have enough time and enough resources, they WILL hack your defenses. That is a FACT.

The Russian and Chinese hackers have plenty of time. They have state-level resources.

eta: Yes this is over 6 years old but it illustrates my point.

German politicians are considering a return to using manual typewriters for sensitive documents in the wake of the US surveillance scandal.

The head of the Bundestag's parliamentary inquiry into NSA activity in Germany said in an interview with the Morgenmagazin TV programme that he and his colleagues were seriously thinking of ditching email completely.

Asked "Are you considering typewriters" by the interviewer on Monday night, the Christian Democrat politican Patrick Sensburg said: "As a matter of fact, we have – and not electronic models either". "Really?" the surprised interviewer checked. "Yes, no joke," Sensburg responded.

"Unlike other inquiry committees, we are investigating an ongoing situation. Intelligence activities are still going on, they are happening," said Sensburg.

3. Putin long ago decreed that Russian government communications be off the internet.

They use paper, instead.

Apparently they have a mail service that works.
