#1 Samsung 16GB Class 6 Micro SDHC up to 24MB/s with Adapter (MB-MS16DA/AM)

The transfer rate indicates the data copied was possibly copied onto the above memory card in a smart phone that was attached to the database server or a local network server with access to the DNC database. That would eliminate tracing to an IP address of a pc.

#2 Seth's brother was trying to get in touch with Israeli cell phone digital forensics CellBrite after Seth's death. However, if the data passed through to the Samsung Micro card the phone would not have the data. And who knows if WikiLeaks are the ones that ended up with the card.

#5 Read this last Fall. Simple answer is maybe.

The internet data download would depend on the host server's bus, NIC and internet throughput. Without having the hardware specs it is impossible to tell.

#6 Yeah, the Left is going to construct a scenario in which the fastest possible fiber-optic lines are in use, barely available in America, and say "naah naah you can't prove it naah naah".

23 MB/s is crazy fast, hardly possible over Comcast or any of the other ISPs. It was a local copy to a USB stick.

#7 I am amazed that a system admin would leave a server vulnerable to USB sticks when the defense is so trivial. The DNC must have hired a bunch of Pakistani spies to administer their systems. Oh yeah ...

#8 We're not talking about computer geniuses here, Speaking. Whatever means were used to copy that data from the host server, it's the system administrator's fault and also the fault of whoever was dumb enough to hire him (cough, Debbie, cough, cough, Wasserman, HACK!!!, Schultz, cough, cough). Blaming Trump and the Russians is so damn ludicrous that only the mainstream media could take it seriously. If your company is a victim of industrial espionage via the Internet, the CIO gets fired. If the CIO keeps his or her job after that the shareholders need to raise hell and then the CEO gets fired. You certainly don't want simpletons like that trying to run the country.

And it is truly amazing what you can do these days with USB memory sticks. A lot of mid sized companies could probably put their entire database on one of those things. I was personally amazed the first time I ever booted a Linux OS from one. The possibilities are astounding but the IT staff needs to keep those USB ports secure and anybody caught with an unauthorized memory stick gets promptly escorted to the parking lot minus the stick.

Finally, if the data went over the Internet, it didn't have to go just from the local host server's I/O bus and the local fiber optic network. That was just the beginning. There would have been an unknown number of intermediate nodes and cables between the host and the client covering several thousands of miles if the client was in Russia. All that takes time.

#9 Wasn't there an article or something about four months ago that said the DNC files were copied, not hacked???

I wonder why someone on one of those Congressional committees hasn't brought this up?
