DNC [Democratic National Committee] top dogs can't seem to wrap their brains around GPG encryption, and so now we have the chance to peruse their emails. Which is nice, but still sort of shocking that the people who want to run the country can't secure their communications. It will probably take a while before anything of great interest is found in the archive because it was just released , but if you want to help in the search, have fun.
Here is one amusing excerpt:

Also, the mere fact of your donation puts you on a "donor list" (aka sucker list) that gets sold and resold to whoever. That's one of the main reasons I'm loathe to donate to charity
Yep. I made a donation to my local PBS station many years ago. They sent me a "thank you" postcard with my name misspelled in a very unusual way. I then received solicitations from many other organizations with the same misspelling. That's the thanks you get for your donation. I never donated to PBS again.

That is why I always give a misspelled name when I do things like that. Same reason my Amazon email address is Amazonprimesavessometime@myemaildomain and no one gets the same contact info. It makes it much easier to determine where people get their info from. And let me tell you, I have had some weird ones. Chief among them is my local library info was eventually used to send me crap for annuities and life insurance within three months. Oh they deny selling it, but that email was only given to them and it isn't a guessable one either. I told them they should check with IT about getting hacked at their last meeting after my questions repeatedly were blown off or unanswered.
