33. Using the term "firewall" makes this story a lie right out the gate, no?

I think the DNC and the media have taken advantage of people's ignorance. Most don't have enough technical experience to even begin to speak to what happened.

It's been a long time since I've been in the field (at least 15 years) and I'm no database expert by any means. But I do know enough to know, there's a rat in here somewhere.

Really, I'm surprised that the sysadmins here haven't chimed in and given some insight as to how things work so people can understand. They've recently migrated onto a new server and DU's database was not available to users while the migration occurred.
