    Because invading people’s privacy and compromising their financial information = “FREEDOM”; amirite? Ah, to be young, idealistic and stupid.

      Donor lists are already public. The DNC also shares people’s info with all sorts of organizations that a donor never explicitly agrees to.

      If you didn’t change your banking info once you found out about the hack, well there’s no time like the present.

      Yes, just ignore the Democratic party’s shitty security practices amirite? There is far more important info there than someone’s campaign contribution.

    So presumably anybody who didn’t contribute to DNC would be safe, right?

    BTW, I very much appreciate you guys doing these articles for all the various leaks that come out. I’m sure it gets tedious, but I’ve found it very helpful.

      That’s right. If you haven’t made donations there’s no reason you would be there. (And I assume contributions made to specific candidates wouldn’t go through the DNC.)

      So what can we now do to WikiLeaks. (Retribution mode.)

    GM is doing some serious damage control to discredit this leak even before all the facts are disseminated.

      Yeah, screw Lifehacker for telling us how to find out if our personal information was just leaked, right?

    Why the hell would the DNC have your SSN? Related to taxes?

      Considering there was an issue of Donald Trump being accused of soliciting foreign campaign funds, it’s probably to ensure that whoever is donating is a citizen (or at least permanent resident probably?). Although there should be better ways to do that, and the DNC should have had better security if they’re requesting SSNs.

      Yea it’s all probably Trumps fault. Funny how liberals were all about WikiLeaks until something that could personally effect them happens. The DNC’s statement said it was Russian hackers and the information pertaining to Hillary Climton was false, another lie.

    The DNC was processing credit card transactions using plain text emails?

      Most of the personal data was sent in a standard format including name, address, phone number, employer, last four digits of the credit card number and the occasional full passport number. It looks like the type of thing that would be used internally to track donations for compliance purposes.

    Aside from this information being sent via plain-text by the Dems from the start, this sensitive information was in thieves hands long before Wikileaks published it.
