Donald Trump is so, so wrong about how hacking works. Let's help him.
President-Elect Donald Trump may want to ask his 10-year-old son about how hacking really works.
The CIA is now pretty sure that the Russians hacked the Presidential election, not by attacking voting booths and polling places, but through the Democratic National Committee email hack that promoted the slow, steady release of embarrassing emails, which may have swayed public sentiment, if not the vote.
But Donald Trump isn't having any of it.
He doesn't believe the CIA, wonders why the news is just coming out now and, finally, has a theory about how you catch hackers: "In the act."
Unless you catch "hackers" in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn't this brought up before election?
