(26,549 posts)How many successful operations has the NSA announced? Zero. Why would the NSA-equivalent in other countries announce their hacks? Announcing the hack causes people to close the security hole you used. So the pros never announce their hacks.
Things like the OPM hack become public because of the enormous number of people who need to be notified. Yet while the US government announced OPM was hacked, no one has claimed to have launched the hack - China is still pretending they do not hack anything.
The only people who would have to be notified of a hack are Clinton and her top aides. Why would they announce they were hacked?
The security on her server wasn't just bad. It was abysmal. See post #43 in this thread. With security that bad, we can be sure the skilled foreign countries got in her server.
