Hacker Publishes List Of Cell Phone Numbers, Private E-Mails For Most House Democrats

Posted on August 12, 2016 by Dissent

The Smoking Gun reports:

After disappearing for a couple of weeks, the hacker “Guccifer 2.0” returned late this afternoon to provide a new headache for Democrats.

In a post to his WordPress blog, the vandal–who previously provided nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committee e-mails to Wikileaks–uploaded an Excel file that includes the cell phone numbers and private e-mail addresses of nearly every Democratic member of the House of Representatives.

The Excel file also includes similar contact information for hundreds of congressional staff members (chiefs of staff, press secretaries, legislative directors, schedulers) and campaign personnel.

    I like how you threw in the word Vandal… Alas… it has no affect.

      I didn’t throw it in – TSG did. It’s not a word I would have used for this type of situation
