PoliticoĀ reports that it was sent communications from inside theĀ Trump campaign, including Sen.Ā J.D. Vanceā€™s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.

The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing ā€œforeign sources hostile to the United States,ā€ for leaking them.

      But still you think with how much control they want over other people, youā€™d think that no one would even have a chance at social engineering. Some gestapo-style blacklist intranet work email setup with a bunch of interns poring over every single little thing that gets stuck in the filter

        If there is one universal truth for US Politics, and a majority of corporations as well, is that they all woefully underpay for IT

            Ugh, I had to deal with the ā€œWhat do we pay you forā€ thing recently. I had to go back through an entire year of chat messages and emails and meeting notes to show them exactly all the shit theyā€™re paying for, and after that they said ā€œOh, yeah, thatā€™s actually useful, weā€™ll keep paying you.ā€

            The Galactic Intelligence notion of ā€œIf you do things right people wonā€™t think youā€™ve done anything at allā€ is not the goal for IT. You need to make it blatantly obvious to all of the people two or three rungs above you that what you do is vital and necessary.

              Iā€™ve been in the position. The better way is to run from the company because thatā€™s a red flag. They hired morons to manage it.
