From the position of newsworthiness , Wikileak ’s Podesta emails have been totally weird . Amidst revelations about anex - Blink-182 member ’s beliefin extraterrestrial life-time , andPodesta ’s own advice on cooking Italian rice , trump card supporters on a diversity of imageboards have been sieve through the emails for anything compromise . Last Nox it seems they arrive at paydirt .
Many of the leaked emails contained contact info , cell speech sound numbers , and account data , none of which was redacted by Wikileaks before being posted . With this selective information accessible to anyone with the time and DOE to record through it all , users on 4chan ’s /pol/ ( politically incorrect ) circuit card were able to win access to Podesta ’s Twitter account , tweeting a message in funding of Trump .

If Podesta ’s Apple ID was compromise , it stand to understanding that his iCloud story was similarly vulnerable . And sure enough , Redditor ’s on r / The_Donald claim Podesta ’s iCloud data was downloaded . “ Craziest 90 minutes I ’ve ever experienced on 4chan , ” RedditorAsphaltBellyflopwrote , “ deserving the 2 day dox ban for sure . ”
A hacker also appear to have uncover the passwords to rafts of senator ’ email address , as well as social security numbers and deferred payment circuit board information for many Democrats including Vice President Joe Biden , Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid , House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi , and acting Chair of the DNC Donna Brazile . The information was posted to pastebin .
“ I am not directly linked with the podesta [ sic ] hacks , ” the hacker , who asked that their name not be used , tell Gizmodo over Twitter DM . “ I can say that the details in Podesta leaks where helpful in conducting phishing flack for the DNC members before the leakage emerged on Wikileaks . ”
Some would say that not redacting personal information name Julian Assange a serious and irresponsible asshole . And those mass would be right . Especially since it’snot the first timehe has done it .
We ’ve reached out to the Clinton campaign to confirm if these machine politician have accept post and will update if we get word back .
