Quote:Yared Tamene, the tech-support contractor at the D.N.C. who fielded the call, was no expert in cyberattacks. His first moves were to check Google for “the Dukes” and conduct a cursory search of the D.N.C. computer system logs to look for hints of such a cyberintrusion. By his own account, he did not look too hard even after Special Agent Hawkins called back repeatedly over the next several weeks — in part because he wasn’t certain the caller was a real F.B.I. agent and not an impostor.

“I had no way of differentiating the call I just received from a prank call,” Mr. Tamene wrote in an internal memo, obtained by The New York Times, that detailed his contact with the F.B.I.

I read that story long ago perhaps when the article first appeared. What also came to my mind is that if the FBI has indications of someone trying to infiltrate the DNC computer system, why did they do what they did? Call the DNC switch board and ask for an IT guy? 03-lmfao

Jesus Christ. You're the farkin' FBI. Call Debbie Wasserman-Shyts or someone at the top and schedule a meeting. Young Yared was pretty astute to wonder why an FBI agent would be calling him directly.
