Hacker claims credit for DNC breach, posts files online

A hacker claiming responsibility for the recent data breach of the Democractic National Committee apparently has posted the stolen files online.

The hacker, who goes by the name Guccifer 2.0, leaked the files on Wednesday following a breach of DNC computers that has been blamed on Russian hackers.  

The posted files include a 231-page dossier containing opposition research on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. They also include documents concerning expected Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s election strategy, items on U.S. foreign policy, and donor lists.
