This kind of thing has also happens to smart, tech-savy, people within the tech community. It's sad to me that we are glossing over this issue because it did not happen in the physical world.
Imagine if we caught Russian agents physically breaking into the DNC office, in a Watergate-esque sort of way. I doubt we'd just continue our election business as usual.
I feel like as members of the tech community, it's sort of our job to connect the dots for people. We always lament every time we hear about security breaches on popular websites and want to do something about it. But this is happening at the highest level in our country and I feel like everyone is just kinda silent about it because they don't want to be appear partisan.
