Hackers linked to the Russian government have been roaming the systems of the Democratic National Committee for a year, officials confirmed on Tuesday.
"When we discovered the intrusion, we treated this like the serious incident it is and reached out to CrowdStrike immediately. Our team moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network," DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said in a statement. "The security of our system is critical to our operation and to the confidence of the campaigns and state parties we work with."
The hackers made off with the committee's internal communications and, most notably, its opposition research file on Donald Trump. The groups CrowdStrike identified in the system included "Fancy Bear," linked to Russian military intelligence service GRU, and "Cozy Bear," related to the country's Federal Security Service.

Schultz says security is critical to their system but they did know they had been hacked for a year! Debbie is an idiot to make such a stupid critical statement!
