http://observer.com/2016/10/exclusive-wikileaks-guccifer-2-0-teaser-exposes… Exclusive: WikiLeaks Guccifer 2.0 Teaser Exposes Pay-to-Play and Financial Data Observer obtains a 19-page packet showing the DCCC overtly backed preferred candidates in Democratic congressional primaries By Michael Sainato • 10/05/16 11:45amHours after WikiLeaks held an early morning press conference commemorating their 10th anniversary, hacker Guccifer 2.0 released a trove of documents he claimed were from the Clinton Foundation. WikiLeaks tweeted the 800+MB of files hacked by Guccifer 2.0 shortly after. The documents include several Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and Virginia Democratic Party documents, though Guccifer 2.0 said he obtained them in a hack from the Clinton Foundation.The Clinton Foundation has denied this. Alleged communication files were leaked from the Clinton Foundation to the Observer upon request through Guccifer 2.0’s Twitter account, but the Clinton Foundation has not yet responded to a request for a statement on those specific documents.The most embarrassing file leaked in the release suggests that several Democratic congressmen received kickbacks from big banks in exchange for the bailout of the financial industry after the 2008 economic recession. An excel spreadsheet released in the leak said big bank TARP recipients donated over $37 million in the 2007-08 campaign cycle, with Democrats receiving 57 percent of those donations.“The Hispanic Constituency team goal is to help establish a ‘positive’ spin in the media that will concentrate around the highlights of President Obama’saccomplishments and his vision for the Hispanic community,” read a document from 2012 with the header, “Hispanic Media Plan.” The plan also advised using “Weekly columns, letters to the editor, op-eds and other print media & Digital media campaign by DNC and surrogates.”In August, Politico reported Democratic Party leaders planned to claim future leaks included fabricated content from the Russians, but the contact information for many of the donors listed in the documents appears to be accurate. Virginia Democratic Party executive director Tom Buneo’s credit card information was leaked under Democratic National Convention files, along with copies of lease agreements for the offices of the Virginia Democratic Party.DCCC finance director Melissa Kurek’s mortgage statement and 2015 W-2 were also released in the leaks (like nearly every DNC and DCCC staff member, Kurek was anavid Clinton supporter throughout the primaries). “The Democratic National Party was aware that its systems were deficient from a security perspective and its records had been compromised in 2015,” noted WikiLeaks in their anniversary press packet. “Yet the DNC lied to donors and said no financial information had been compromised. This lie means that the DNC broke the mandatory US security laws of notification of breach, namely DC Code §28-3853.” A 19-page Red-to-Blue profile packet of Democratic Congressional candidates the DCCC was fundraising for was leaked, showing the DCCC overtly backs preferred candidates in Democratic congressional primaries.A folder titled “pay-to-play” was also included, consisting of opposition research on Republicans in Congress, citing bills they supported while receiving campaign donations from entities who benefit from their stance.WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has hinted that more WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 hacks will be released just in time for the election.

http://nation.foxnews.com/2016/10/02/wednesday-hillary-clinton-done-reports… "Is it the October surprise?MSNBC’s Jesse Rodriguez posted what could be interpreted as an ominous reemark on social media last week regarding Julian Assange.…ominous if you’re with Team Hillary.According to the “Morning Joe” senior producer, the founder of the whistle-blowing platform WikiLeaks will be making an announcement from his balcony next Tues, October 4.Assange appeared on Fox News just a few weeks ago and repeated previous claims that his organization has significant documentation that could be damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign.He said that WikiLeaks may release some “teasers” from the collection of documents “reasonably soon — as early as next week.”UPDATE: There have been reports that the balcony announcement ( not necessarily the October Surprise itself) has been cancelled due to “security concerns.”Assange’s group leaked nearly 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee that showed the party effectively rigged the primary against Clinton rival Bernie Sanders. The revelation resulted in the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.Donald Trump pit bull Roger Stone was quick to speculate on a possible end result of Assange’s reported announcement, posting on Twitter that Hillary Clinton is “done” on Wednesday.

I'd like to publicly apologize. It has been brought to my attention that certain comments I've made were potentially hurtful towards women. To any that I've offended, I apologize. I'll refrain from such excesses, even if they were meant only to pantomime the liberal use of "whore, bitch, cunt" and so on by others. While I'm a big believer in fighting fire with fire, as it were, there is also wisdom in not adding fuel to the fire.

Yahoo covertly built a program to search all of its customers' incoming emails for specific information

Spotted in Ars: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/report-fbi-andor-nsa-ordered-yah… Yahooâs CISO resigned in 2015 over secret e-mail search tool ordered by feds Reuters: Yahoo "complied with a classified US government directive." Cyrus Farivar - 10/4/2016, 1:59 PM According to a new report by Reuters citing anonymous intelligence officials, in 2015, Yahoo covertly built a secret âcustom software program to search all of its customers' incoming emails for specific information.â Reuters noted that Yahoo âcomplied with a classified US government directive, scanning hundreds of millions of Yahoo Mail accounts at the behest of the National Security Agency or FBI, said two former employees and a third person apprised of the events.â It is not clear what data, if any, was handed over. Further Reading Yahoo exec goes mano a mano with NSA director over crypto backdoors Presuming that the report is correct, it would represent essentially the digital equivalent of a general warrantâwhich is forbidden by the Fourth Amendment, as Electronic Frontier Foundation lawyer Andrew Crocker noted on Twitter. The Fourth Amendment implications are staggering. Yahoo as agent of government scans all email, devoid of probable cause, particularity, etc pic.twitter.com/kx510PHH9n â Andrew Crocker (@agcrocker) October 4, 2016 This seems to be the first known case of an American Internet company acting on behalf of the government to search messages in near real timeâprevious operations captured stored data or intercepted only a handful of target accounts. As Reuters also reported, Yahoo's then-Chief Information Security Officer, Alex Stamos, resigned in protest once he found out about the secret program. Stamos now works at Facebook. Yahoo did not immediately respond to Ars' request for comment.
