Considering the amount of money that large political parties pay for high-six-figure salary media consultants, stylists, image consultants and PR fluffers....
You would think they would want to hire a few professional, highly qualified NetSec sysadmins and give them authority to enforce network, server and endpoint security policies over an organization as a whole. But nope.
DNC is a fine example of failing to prioritize network security.
edit: I mean it's not exactly rocket science in terms of recruiting. Find a person who would be qualified by their years of experience and proven track record to be the chief security officer at an organization the size of cloudflare, limelight or netflix (or similar) and offer them a job at an equally high salary. Pay relocation and COLA expenses.
