If and when more is released from the campaign, I'll update the diary. Thanks.

Update: ABC News tweeted the Clinton’s campaign’s response to the Sanders data breach.

Brian Fallon, Hillary for America's national press secretary, wrote that the campaign was "informed that our proprietary data was breached by Sanders campaign staff in 25 searches by four different accounts and that this data was saved into the Sanders' campaign account."

"We are asking that the Sanders campaign and the DNC work expeditiously to ensure that our data is not in the Sanders campaign's account and that the Sanders campaign only have access to their own data," he continued.

Hillary’s campaign appears to be pushing back against the Sanders campaign blame game. Brian Fallon’s tweets below.

Four users linked to @SenSanders campaign steal data from a rival campaign. Only one is fired. Guess the others get a pat on the back

Some of the top Democratic strategists think this is a huge problem for the Sanders campaign. It appears to me it's an indictment of Tad Devine’s poor campaign strategy.

Messina’s comment is exactly what the Sanders campaign should have done. Accept responsibility and move forward.

Thanks to Jacoby Jonze for sharing these in comments.

Think if one company accessed and stole another's customer data. This is no small thing. Sanders camp should be careful playing the victim.

They stole millions of dollars of research. This isn't a small thing.

Sanders camp reaction is silly. Fess up, apologize, and move on. Rule breakers aren't victims.
