Politico reports that it was sent communications from inside the Trump campaign, including Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) 271-page vetting file, allegedly by an Iranian hacker.

The outlet said that it has been receiving anonymous emails containing internal communications from the Trump campaign. The campaign acknowledged the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, accusing “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” for leaking them.

          If there is one universal truth for US Politics, and a majority of corporations as well, is that they all woefully underpay for IT

              Ugh, I had to deal with the “What do we pay you for” thing recently. I had to go back through an entire year of chat messages and emails and meeting notes to show them exactly all the shit they’re paying for, and after that they said “Oh, yeah, that’s actually useful, we’ll keep paying you.”

              The Galactic Intelligence notion of “If you do things right people won’t think you’ve done anything at all” is not the goal for IT. You need to make it blatantly obvious to all of the people two or three rungs above you that what you do is vital and necessary.

                I’ve been in the position. The better way is to run from the company because that’s a red flag. They hired morons to manage it.
