When President Trump asked why the Obama administration didn't do anything to stop Russian hacking in the lead-up to the 2016 election, he bluntly raised a question many of the key players behind the "Collusion illusion" would rather Americans just plain forgot or never learned.
The Obama's eight years represented a hacking nightmare, a cybersecurity scandal and some of the loudest anti-Trump voices were not only responsible, but victims because of their own negligence for violating their own rules and protocols.
In September 2016, U.S. authorities arrested two North Carolina members of the "Crackas With Attitude" group involved in hacking CIA Director Brennan's personal email account and leaking sensitive files including a top-secret application for a security clearance, as well as other senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The hackers leaked the personal details of 31,000 government agents belonging to nearly 20,000 FBI agents; 9,000 Department of Homeland Security officers and some Department of Justice staffers.
According to the FBI officials, between October 2015 to February 2016, the hacking group used social engineering in order to trick the victims into revealing their account number, password and other details.
How did the CIA director, the director of National Intelligence, officials of DHS and the 31,000 FBI agents get hacked?
As President Trump tweeted: "Julian Assange said 'a 14 year old could have hacked Podesta' - why was DNC so careless?".
His organization, Obama for America, downplayed the damage, saying "Only the links within our tweets had been hacked. At no point did they have access to the twitter handle," an official said.
