Democratic Party cybersecurity: A reminder that these people shouldn't be within 100 miles of our healthcare

Among the less dramatic portions of the Mueller report are the details of how Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate, the GRU, hacked the Democratic National Committee's servers. Given the stakes of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, the methods of the GRU's machinations likely won't garner much attention, but from a cybersecurity perspective, they're truly alarming.
On April 12, 2016, the GRU successfully accessed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's computer network using credentials obtained through a single spearphishing attack — a personalized and targeted form of phishing used to con someone into sharing credentials with the hacker. Within a week, the GRU had compromised 29 different DCCC computers by traversing the network. It hacked into the DNC network using a virtual private network. From there, the GRU implemented malware on both networks, using Trojan viruses and keystroke loggers to aggregate sensitive information.
The rest is history.

We've known for some time now the basic infrastructure used by the Russians to hack into the DNC, but to see such an unsophisticated plan laid out in full, juxtaposed with its extraordinary success, is jarring.
