Steyer’s staffer left a position where he had legit access, but created a “training program” — a backdoor hack — that he took with him and then used after being hired by Steyer. That’s a planned theft. Will DNC act? Will Steyer fire him? Edit to add: Chickenshit Steyer chickenshitted out, and allowed the chickenshit thief to resign.
Edit to add this tweet:
Steyer’s campaign spokesman Alberto Lammers blames the DNC!
“The bottom line is that nothing would have taken place if the DNC had been more diligent about the security of voter data.”

Tom Steyer aide stole Kamala Harris’ SC 2020 volunteer data, Democratic officials say
COLUMBIA — A South Carolina aide for Tom Steyer’s 2020 presidential campaign stole valuable volunteer data collected by Kamala Harris’ campaign using an account from when he worked with the S.C. Democratic Party, according to multiple state and national party officials.
The Democratic National Committee said they quickly caught the attempt on Friday by Steyer’s deputy S.C. state director Dwane Sims to export Harris’ data, which contained thousands of volunteer contacts collected over the course of the campaign in this critical early-voting primary state.
The party sent a cease-and-desist letter and has since received certification from Sims that he destroyed the stolen data, S.C. Democratic Party chairman Trav Robertson told The Post and Courier.

Axios:
S.C. Democratic Party chairman Trav Robertson said in a statement emailed to Axios:
"The South Carolina Democratic Party recently learned of a breach by an employee of the Steyer campaign, who obtained access to some of Senator Harris’ volunteer data in South Carolina. This was a former SCDP employee, who was off-boarded at the end of September, and as we learned on Friday, maintained a separate user account, which is in clear violation of the VoteBuilder protocol.
It is critical that the Steyer campaign take immediate action regarding their employee."
Steyer’s massive wealth makes him a formidable foe. Does he think it makes him above the law?
