So, the company that illegally scrapped all of the facebook, twitter, and other social media sites, got itself hacked. Something tells me this was a case of hacktivism.

The other thing I find funny about this whole thing. Not the hack per se, but clearview.
Facebook is pissed this person scraped all those pictures.
Isn't that how Zuck started Facebook????
All of the various findings, articles, videos, pictures, and other stuff I dig up on the web. Anything on this site was posted by me. Any opinion expressed here is only my own

CCDC was like this
http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/309530-state-of-georgia-allegedly-accusing-homeland-security-of-attempted-hack
The letter goes on say that the systems under attack contained the personal information of over 6.5 million Georgians, 800,000 corporate entities and over 500,000 licensed or registered professionals.
“At no time has my office agreed to or permitted DHS to conduct penetration testing or security scans of our network," writes Kemp. "Moreover, your department has not contacted my office since this unsuccessful incident to alert us of any security event that would require testing or scanning of our network.”
Kemp is a vocal opponent of a suggestion floated by some lawmakers that DHS declare elections critical infrastructure, which would give the federal agency some control over the state-based election systems. The idea was born of fears that Russia intended to hack the presidential election. DHS has said they had no intentions to pursue that strategy.

Assange on rampage
WikiLeaks Has Officially Lost the Moral High Ground
https://www.wired.com/2016/07/wikileaks-officially-lost-moral-high-ground/
Assange certainly has an anti-Clinton agenda, due in part to the US government pursuing him for the state department cables. (IMO)
The sad fact is that maybe he feels he will get better treatment from a Trump presidency, which is false.
The publishing of the Turkish citizens information was disgraceful. At least wired admitted it.
Time for a new Wikileaks. Assange can no longer be trusted to be impartial.
