I ran across a few articles in hacker circles that claimed that the DNC and Clinton.com servers had been hacked as late as Oct. 14 (yesterday). Articles claim that Podesta's Twitter account was hacked and his I Phone account was hacked and wiped. Tha posts and articles I ahve seen claim that the DNC and Clinton.com servers were hacked and information was posted. I found where the information was posted but I won't post it. It includes credit card information, social security numbers, usernames and passwords for accounts on each server. I can't couch for the validity of the information but it looks legit. The fact that they were able to post on Podesta's Twitter account seems to verify that they had access to something.

From the perspective of newsworthiness, Wikileak’s Podesta emails have been totally weird. Amidst revelations about an ex-Blink-182 member’s belief in extraterrestrial life, and Podesta’s own advice on cooking risotto, Trump supporters on a variety of imageboards have been sifting through the emails for anything compromising. Last night it seems they hit paydirt.
Many of the leaked emails contained contact info, cell phone numbers, and account data, none of which was redacted by Wikileaks before being posted. With this information accessible to anyone with the time and energy to read through it all, users on 4chan’s /pol/ (politically incorrect) board were able to gain access to Podesta’s Twitter account, tweeting a message in support of Trump.
 
I just looked at his Twitter account, and didn't see anything off.

Unless they resolved the issue?
