Anyone mind explaining what the hacker(s) was (were) going to do with the limited information they got? I read the security filing said they got a list of which phone numbers texted/called which phone numbers and what durations, but none of the actual content.
I’m guessing political blackmail. It’s easy to start linking phone numbers and find the senator that’s been texting his mistress every day or spending hour long calls with Russian numbers, etc
