5 Security Experts react to DNC email, email encryption information

John Gunn, VP of Communications, VASCO Data Security comments: "Encryption is simple to use, inexpensive, and highly effective. It doesn’t guarantee the hackers could not have obtained the information, but it certainly would have made their job a lot more difficult. This issue again underscores that there is a significant shortage of qualified IT security professionals - this event is just more evidence of the problem. Political campaigns are not known for paying well or for providing long-term employment. They should have hired outside consultants, but buying was airtime likely the priority. (Re emails sent to known associates) The old “if someone is respected they can’t be hacked and have no personal motives” strategy: obviously, it is utter nonsense.
