The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that, according to anonymous U.S. officials (who are still driving the entire “election hacking” story with unsubstantiated leaks, on a daily basis), Russian hackers tried to hit the Republican National Committee as well as the Democrats, but were foiled by superior RNC security.
The Journal then quotes another group of anonymous “people close to the investigation” who said the hackers’ failure to penetrate RNC servers “indicated a less aggressive and much less persistent effort by Russian intelligence to hack the Republican group than the Democratic National Committee.” In the end, the hackers were able to harvest only a single email from a “long-departed RNC staffer.”
This analysis doesn’t sit well with recent revelations that Clinton campaign chief, and alleged cybersecurity expert, John Podesta was tricked with an incredibly simple phishing scam – a single email that told him to click on a bogus button to change the password on his email account. That didn’t really take a huge amount of effort.

I guess they didn't have any unprotected basement servers.

And they use super complicated passwords, such as... Password!
Sure ..OK ... good thing that the Donald is going to tighten up security with the Republican way . about time someone does dont you think lol
They FAILED because the RNC has better security !! [imo] All this from the WSJ seems to be an effort to make people automatically assume the Russians did hack the Democrats !! Very clever trick.[/imo]

He should have mis-spelled "Password" and used "assword".

Probably did, and kept getting the message 'you need at least one capital letter' so put the P back
