(14,881 posts)Instead of notifying the DNC quietly, months ago, so they could get it fixed?
Or when the DNC chose to ignore the firewall problem, then should he have taken it public?
He notified the DNC about the problem sw. They ignored his warning.
A rogue employee make use of the problem. He fired the rogue employee, let the DNC know about the breach and the fired employee.
Exactly what should he have done differently? Other than never say a word and allow the buggy software to continue to enable breaches of each others' data?
DWS and the DNC handled this horribly:
1. The software should have been fixed months ago, as soon as they were notified of the problem.
2. Sanders' campaign shouldn't be punished as a result of them notifying of the breach and firing the rogue employee.
Either all campaigns lose access to the database while they do the audit and repair the software, or none lose access.
It already looks like the Democratic party can't protect secret information. They shouldn't give the appearance of favoring one candidate over the other. It looks positively Rovian.
