It’s been six months since the election, and the Democratic National Committee finally seems to be taking cybersecurity seriously.
It’s been six months since a presidential election roiled by Russian cyberattacks, and there’s little reason to think Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will be the last U.S. candidates to face challenges from overseas hackers. Just last month, French President Emmanuel Macron won a close election despite being targeted for phishing attacks by Fancy Bear, the same Russian government-sponsored hacking group tied to last year’s infamous hack of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta. (And that group has reportedly already moved on to stir up trouble in upcoming elections in Germany and the U.K.)
