Unless in the unlikely event they KNEW it was hacked...

We are required to complete IA training annually and our former secretary of state's campaign manager had his email hacked because one of his aides urged him to fix a security issue that was actually a ...wait for it....phishing attempt. According to the NYT many of the DNC computers were also infected with ransom ware. I'm not usually someone to trust the NYT, but if their (the DNC's) own media says that, WTF?
