After hack, more data on Democrats hits the web - CNET

The Democratic Party's hacking woes continued this week, as personal phone numbers and email addresses of US Congress members wound up on the internet.

A person, or people, using the alias "Guccifer 2.0" dumped the data on a website on Friday and said it had been acquired in a computer breach of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, a group that raises funds for Democratic members of the House of Representatives. That attack was revealed in late July.

"It's time for new revelations now," read a statement accompanying Friday's data dump, as reported by The New York Times. "All of you may have heard about the DCCC hack. As you see I wasn't wasting my time! It was even easier than in the case of the DNC breach."

Guccifer 2.0 was the alias used by the party or parties who earlier took credit for hacking the Democratic National Committee. That attack came to light in June, and emails apparently from the breach later appeared on WikiLeaks, just before the Democratic National Convention, leading to the resignation of the national committee's chairwoman.
