Seth Rich didn't hack them, he was a data wrangler, the Russian hack story is a cover.

He just happened to get shot in the back during a "robbery", the "robbers" just happened to steal nothing but his life.

The DNC is made of politicians and their buddies. You really can't expect more than government-grade decisions.

For god's sake, it's called a 'Cybersecurity Board'! What do you expect from people who cannot distinguish between current reality and 1980's science fiction?

The word "cyber" fell out of fashion in the 90's, and was replaced with "InfoSec" or similar terms in the private sector. However, the military and government are resistant to change, so they stuck with it. In those circles, "cyber" is still common parlance.

Thanks, nice article, even if it's value to me is solely of a nostalgic nature. :)

The point I wanted to make is, anybody slinging around 'cyber-this', 'cyber-that', will not be taken seriously by anyone serious.
