“Unauthorized users appear to have accessed Hillary Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s various accounts after an email containing his Apple ID and password was found within the recent WikiLeaks email release,” Charlie Nash reports for Breitbart.

Bernstein/Reuters) MacDailyNews Take: Once again, too many people use one password for multiple services and weak passwords at that. Once hackers get it or guess it, they then have access to all sorts of things: cloud storage, bank accounts, Facebook, Twitter, email, etc.
You want to use unique, strong passwords. Use two-step verification for Apple ID to keep your personal information as secure as possible. More info here.
As we’ve written umpteen times: Use Apple’s Keychain Access and iCloud Keychain to create and manage them. When used properly, this system works like a dream.
With 69.5 million members, the Catholic Church is the largest religious body in the United States, comprising 22% of the population as of 2015. And they vote.
For too many Dem/Lib/Progs, one pet issue supersedes all of the other issues (for Cook, it’s H-1B visas so he can get cheap labor – see below). So, even though Cook agrees more with Republicans than Democrats on corporate taxation and other issues, he cuts off his nose to spite his face.
Tim, it’d be cheaper to pay American workers a fair wage and get a sound corporate tax policy than it would be to continue importing cheap foreign labor on H-1B visas and be stuck with Democrats who love to overtax and tax the wrong things which stifles the economy overall (hurting the business of selling consumer goods, including electronics, by the way).
American companies and their shareholders, in general, want skilled labor as CHEAPLY as possible. That’s a main reason why Tim Cook, Apple and other tech firms are not supporting Trump – they want unlimited H-1Bs, so they can pay Ajeet from India half what they’d have to pay Tom from Tulsa who can’t find a job after graduating from college and has to live in his parents basement because Apple got Ajeet from India to do it on the CHEAP.
H1-B visas for skilled workers DO NOT EQUAL uneducated illegal aliens streaming across the southern border intent on cashing in on American taxpayer’s largesse while setting up shop in the domestic drug trade and/or other crimes (gangs, rape, robbery, etc.).
Trump is for upholding the laws already on the books designed to protect our borders.
Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. We graduate two times more Americans with STEM degrees each year than find STEM jobs, yet as much as two-thirds of entry-level hiring for IT jobs is accomplished through the H-1B program. More than half of H-1B visas are issued for the program’s lowest allowable wage level, and more than eighty percent for its bottom two. Raising the prevailing wage paid to H-1Bs will force companies to give these coveted entry-level jobs to the existing domestic pool of unemployed native and immigrant workers in the U.S., instead of flying in cheaper workers from overseas. This will improve the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program. Mark Zuckerberg’s personal Senator, Marco Rubio, has a bill to triple H-1Bs that would decimate women and minorities.
Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.
Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.
Immigration moderation. Before any new green cards are issued to foreign workers abroad, there will be a pause where employers will have to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed immigrant and native workers. This will help reverse women’s plummeting workplace participation rate, grow wages, and allow record immigration levels to subside to more moderate historical averages.
I am going to be civil and polite, but here goes:
Not all Democrats are Liberals or Progressives.
Not all Progressives are Liberals or Democrats.
Not all Liberals are Democrats or Progressives.
The Progressive movement started in the Republican Party and should never be equated with Liberalism in the American vernacular. The Democratic Party for most of it’s history has been a fairly conservative party.
Ms Clinton is a NeoLiberal- not a Liberal in the American sense.
Ms Clinton is NOT a Progressive. She staunchly defended DOMA, gave Dubya a blank check, opposes Wall Street Reform, encourages light touch regulation of Financial Services, thinks Ed Snowden is a criminal, is a great fan of the National Security State and is on the record behind closed doors as favoring an open market for labor and capital throughout the Western Hemisphere, cutting Social Security and opposes Tuition Free Higher Public Universities.
That is hardly a Liberal or a Progressive. That is actually y pretty classic mainstream Republican.
Maybe you didn’t know that, maybe you do not care. Either way, Goldwater Girl Hillary is far closer to the GOP’s traditions than FDR, JFK or LBJ.
You are just setting yourself up for a huge disappointment next month.
By the way, if you think Clinton was reckless by using a Mac server for email just like Powell and many other high ranking government officials from your party too, you must be really scratching your head about Trump’s technical credentials.
Donald Trump’s 10 year old son apparently isn’t quite the cyber security genius that The Donald bragged about in the first debate. He has spent most of the campaign badmouthing Apple, and he relies on antiquated Microsoft services to host his own insecure email.
Clinton can rightly claim that her staffers did some things that shouldn’t have been done. But there was no malicious intent, and security was not compromised according to FBI investigation and public review of the released emails. Meanwhile Trump is nothing but malicious on all things, and his email service — when it works — is a complete security joke. Every 4 years it is the lesser of two evils. Sorry to say, but this time the Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for nominating such a loser.
How about them tax returns, Donny? You said you’d release yours as soon as Buffett released his. Warren Buffett released 40 years of tax returns the next day. Interestingly, Buffett pays significant taxes, as do the Clintons. Perhaps because they believe in America?
Ignoramus, comes to mind with this corrupt Hildabeast sellout. You get what you deserve. Two (2) words for this leak… USER ERROR! Take RESPONSIBILITY for your own ineptness. Time to CLEAN HOUSE. Corrupt as corrupt can be. FU John.

Jokes aside, it has to be noted that Wikileaks has checked that the credentials were already changed by Podesta before the publication of leaks.

An impressive list of political labels you’ve amassed in your post, however, you’ve omitted the one that is true:
Hillary Merkel is a globalist, a traitor to American sovereignty.
“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”
Winston Churchill
“…Hillary is far closer to the GOP’s traditions than FDR, JFK or LBJ.”
Or Trump, for that matter…
You smoke too much weed, man. You blather on more than Donald Trump. What I do like is your ability to make shit up on the fly. That’s an art.
BTW- Trump is losing, badly. That puts you in a bind. Ytour moniker will have no meaning when the Repbulcians implode in the Nov. Election.

All of you people who love to hate on Trump (yes, he’s an egotistical boor and, yes, I’m still voting for him with millions of others) are hypocrites:
Clinton campaign mocks Catholics, Southerners, ‘needy Latinos’ in emails
If Clinton ever gets in, she’s going to wish she hadn’t. She’ll be the most hated president ever.
