No, I don't think you fully understand how these things work and the level of detail hackers put into the e-mail to attempt to look like legitimate e-mails from Google, UPS, etc..

And, allegedly, the tech knew it was a phish...don't know if I buy his explanation or not, but he claims he knew better.

Obviously, but that's not what this was. This was an e-mail deliberately intended to look like an automated e-mail from Google. I see these type of things regularly (one of the more popular ones I see are e-mails pretending to be FedEx claiming a problem with an order, only to install ransomware when you click on it).

It's not as simple as you think, especially when Google already does send these types of security warnings to your e-mail (which you would know if you used Gmail :)).

Why Didn'''t Obama Do More About Russian Election Hack? - NBC News

(Note: STILL calling it an "election hack." Oy.)

Story:



So, confident in a Hillary win, and apparently not thinking it was "worth it," Obama purposely let it slide. This was after:



He made an entirely empty threat.

Which drew criticism from both sides, which was drowned out by the Billy Bush recording:



You think? You think passivity in the face of such blatant Russian mischief might have consequences? Especially when part of it was that he didn't want to provoke the Russians? I.E., he was successfully intimidated by their aggression?

At what point did they seem to care? When people starting looking at the damning content of the leaked materials, of course:



Note: the Chinese hack of the OPM was far worse than the Russian hack, actually breaching real government security and obtaining lots of personal information on lots of government employees, and nothing's been done in response to that.

Note, too, that very few people around the country cared much about the revelation of the Russian hacks until the Jill Stein recount effort failed.

Exactly, no one cared about the election fraud against Sanders which meant SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE NOMINEE IN THE FIRST PLACE, not to mention the cheating that took place with illegal and deceased voters AND machines that were flipping votes (but were caught in time and corrected) - and she still lost. What does that tell you? That all of the "protesters" are paid by Soros - what does that tell you? That the MSM lies and fake polls have been exposed once and for all - what does that tell you? That these "liberals" who were so concerned that Trump supporters would get crazy and not accept the outcome but are now promoting martial law to stop Trump from being inaugerated - what does that tell you regarding the agenda of these sick anti-americans?

They, and especially Soros, need to be arrested for treason. If Russia was responsible for these leaked emails, they did so in order to keep criminals from assuming positions of power and in the name of world peace. We are grateful to whomever was responsible for educating us in such a way.

Even the shills that were so rampant here have to go hide their heads in the sand. How can they rebutt being so exposed?
