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:

    Honestly, Ed, that's a good idea for ALL online financial activity. I've written several billing systems over the years and I wouldn't trust a single damned one of the online card processors with a permanent card. Mind you, this is coming from a guy who keeps all his cash in his pocket/mattress because he doesn't trust banks and never uses anything but cash, money orders, or prepaid cards for transactions.
