The hack joins an ever-growing list of serious US data breaches that have been tied to foreign actors, from the China-linked Office of Personnel Management hack announced in 2015 in which intruders stole sensitive information connected to more than 20 million US government employees and applicants, to the North Korea–linked Sony hack in 2014 when attackers leaked troves of data and crippled 70% of the studio’s servers. New reports indicate that Hillary Clinton's campaign and a fundraising arm of the party were breached as well. Security experts have warned for years that there are surprisingly few measures in place to prevent a hack like one that hit the Democratic National Committee last week, releasing 20,000 emails on WikiLeaks that contained embarrassing and politically damaging correspondence about the Democratic Party’s inner workings.
