Israeli Hackers Reportedly Offered Cambridge Analytica Private Info on Two Heads of State
Israeli hackers offered Cambridge Analytica, the data collection firm that worked on U.S. President Donald Trump's election campaign, material on two politicians who are heads of state, the Guardian reported Wednesday, citing witnesses.
According to the report, the hackers obtained the materials by hacking the private email accounts of the two politicians.
Executives at Cambridge Analytica – including CEO Alexander Nix – instructed the staff to use the materials provided by the hackers in election campaigns in Nigeria and St. Kitts and Nevis, citing multiple sources.
According to the report, in Cambridge Analytica employees met Israeli cybersecurity contractors at their London office. The Israelis reportedly gave them a USB stick containing what they said were hacked emails. The employees were told to search the data for incriminating material that could be used to damage the opponent of then-Nigeria President Jonathan Goodluck, who hired the firm. Goodluck lost the election to Opposition Leader Muhammadu Buhari.

Just the usual, involved/running dumpfs digital campaign, the thought was they were in deep doo doo because of what was being revealed by investigation.
And then I see CA's CEO Nix just laying it out on a recording, these bastards were ratficking the world.
And there's supposedly another recording that lays out what was done in the US to interfere with our election process.
I kinda think somebody's going to prison.
And it makes me smile.
