Topic: How did they hack Podesta's emails?

He used Gmail which seems like it should be pretty secure. So how did they (the Russians, a 400lb hacker sitting in bed, whoever) hack it?

presumably poor password practices

I think it would be quite funny if the dems retailiated by hacking the RNC email, and whoever Trump's campaign manager is this week.

They poured bleach over it.

When you say "bleach" do you mean "an aqueous solution of 4% sodium hypochlorite" or "BleachBit free and open source disc cleaning software"? I am very confused as to what you mean by "bleach" in the context of email servers.

I mean they literally doused it in bleach. Just the whole thing. When the outer shell was melted away, they sucked out all of the emails with a hoover.

They probably looked up his mothers maiden name and password recovered it into their possession, like what happened to Sarah Palin. Or got hold of some other account and found out that he uses the same password everywhere
