Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut:

“It’s hard for me to imagine how just having a bunch of numbers, cellphones and emails would in any way affect the election,” he said. “It wasn’t totally unexpected.”

“Someone could cause a lot of damage if they were able to send emails out from a member’s account, but I’m not hearing that that’s a risk at this point.”

Me: I have yet to see a cryptographically signed e-mail from a politician, and without that, spoofing such a message would be almost trivial. Do they keep their cybersecurity well hidden from the public?
