‘Change Your Passwords’: DNC Awan Scandal Inspires Veteran To Warn Others
One veteran sounded the alarm for the community highlighting the extent of the Awan scandal and likelihood of a resurgence of Guciffer email hacks.
The veteran goes by the handle “Seymore Klearly”. He highlighted the idiotic maneuvers of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her relationship with a Pakistan gentleman by the name of Imran Awan who reportedly managed all email accounts of the Democratic National Committee including those of Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
Recently, Awan was caught fleeing the country with $12,000 cash after being charged with bank fraud for misrepresenting the nature of a transaction where he wired $300,000 to Pakistan. FBI is investigating Awan and his relationship to the DNC.
As many of you know, Guccifer is the infamous hacker who allegedly pushed out phishing emails that may have hacked the email of John Podesta. That hack pulled out detailed information about the DNC during the tail end of Hillary Clinton’s run as a presidential candidate and contributed to her loss.
Those emails were then published on Wikileaks.
Seymore Klearly connects the dots between the Iwan scandal and the Podesta hack, resulting in his call for readers on DisabledVeterans.org to “Change your passwords.”
And in case you missed it, skip to 2:42 and watch Wasserman Shultz threaten the Capitol police chief who refuses to turn over evidence of a crime:
From Seymore Klearly
Just a strong word of caution for everyone. It is time to change your passwords on your email accounts and any other passwords including banking and credit card accounts!
As I am sure you have all heard you should never open an email, or email attachment, from someone you do not know. Else a hacker can compromise your email account not only gaining access to your personal information, your account password and also the full use of your email account to send and receive emails.
A prime example of people who have learned the hard way is John Podesta. Whose Gmail account was compromised when he opened an email from the hacker named Guccifer. Podesta latter learned he had been hacked after his emails were leaked to the world by Guccifer.
With the current information available about Debbie Wasserman Schultz relationship with her IT pro from Pakistan named Imran Awan. It is clear that not only did Awan have full access to numerous Congressional email accounts, not only allowing him access to all emails in those accounts, but he also had access to send emails from those congressional accounts. Emails that contained viruses such as the one used by Guccifer. Only they are contained in trusted congressional Emails and would have been trusted by many to be safe.
The chain of hacks doesn’t end with the congressional emails. No doubt the virus after accessing a new account accessed the address list for each new email account infected and sent emails containing the virus to each of the people on the address list contained in that account. The newly sent virus laden emails then infecting the accounts of all who trusted the email and effectively infecting their own account. Then the process is repeated where the virus resends itself to all the addresses in the new accounts address list.
In essences, when all is said and done anyone who has received an email from any local, state or federal agency and you opened the email it is likely your account password has been compromised. It is time to change your passwords.
With what is going on in our Country right now things seem like they are going to get real and fast. Following Awan’s arrest last week, on Saturday Pakistan replaced their prime minister with one that is well connected to the Muslim brotherhood, Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Change your Passwords. Tell everyone close to you to also do it.
Use VPN too.
Thank you Ben and Seymore for reminding us the dangers of using the internet. I try every few months or so to change passwords on e-mail and other accounts. Thanks again.
Your welcome Ex va
I do not care if somebody reads my emails.
It is absolute insanity to believe that anything encoded by a computer, then transmitted via a multitude of transmission media, fiber optics, radio waves and variations therof, including satellite transmission, through a multitude of unknowable computers, crossing perhaps thousands of miles irregardless of country bourders or Earth’s atmosphere and is meant to be ultimately decoded by ONLY the pair of eyes you choose, will in fact only be seen in that fantastic journey by just those two eyes….
Is that what you really believe happens when you have a magic password?
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that I EVER type into an electronic device that I believe will not be revealled to ANYONE so bent on seeing it. I choose not to put anything down that I give a shit about and my credit is already three marks lower than the absolute vacuum of outer space so good luck trying to use account numbers of mine to do anything over and above an illicit pizza hut delivery lolz.
I began programming before computers were in homes. The fed government identified me as a gifted pre-asshole child and paid a man to come to our school with a government computer to teach me how to program twice a week. My last job was as a motion control programmer programming the control systems of advanced robotic machinery. My last large project was developed using ANSI C type code written on top of a deterministic real time operating system operating five axis of motion control simultaneously and in coordinated fashion. No small task.
I am 100% certain that if it is typed into a computer it is like a plum on a tree for anyone wanting to pluck it, and there aint no sequence of ANSI unicode that will ever change that because there are people out there like me who know how to write packet drivers that control the very circuitry of the ethernet device, or whatever newest device there is which exists to transmit data, that at some point it was a human that created the ability for you to store data on your device. At some hardware level the data MUST be known in order to correctly translate the packets between Motorola and Intel chips (Big Endian/Little Endian number formats) as well as a litany of other obscure electronic details. It is a human that must understand how this all works and that species has just never been good at keeping secrets…
Therefor I discard with the idea of typing anything I want secret. If you type it, consider it public.
Here I though you were a Vietnam Veteran.
Guess I was wrong your a youngster.
Some amazing accomplishments Dennis even though you are a youngster.
@SeymoreKlearly, I do believe, Bill is a lonely person. Male or female, unsure. One of those Holier than thou, wants to be in charge, kinda sad.
Pretty good description of him. Basically he suffers from a sever case of Cartman Syndrome.

Seymore,
I’ve changed my passwords – with a little help from my wife, LOL!
Glad to hear it Crazy Elf,
It does add to peace of mind. It is great to hear you wife provides IT support. Although it is a good skill to learn.
@SeymoreKlearly, will ya let us know if Bill hacks you? That is, if you know. Just nosey.
Jo3n,
Bill could hack his way out of a paper bag with a razor blade. He has no skills and he has already proven that with what he has said about hacking. He also has never worked in any IT positions anywhere he has demonstrated that with his lack of knowledge in his statements.
If he has taken any post high school course work it only involved what paperwork to file if his parents try to evict him from the basement.
@Bill, you appear to be proud of your knowledge. Hope you’re doing something good with that knowledge. You are a bit judgemental, arrogant, and we all know; It’s easy to be brave from a distance. Good luck, Bill
I read your warning however you did not read what Pi said. I DO NOT HACK. Could I, maybe but since i have never done it to anyone that is up in the air. I used the brain cell between my ears to try and do things for good.
I perfer not to spend my time looking for all the bad in this world.
I have gone lights out except for my samsung phone.
Btw I have forgotten more about computer programming and computer technology then you have ever known.
In other words you can’t hack anyone or anything period.
All show and no go.
As for everything you claim you forgot from your course in data entry. Can’t be much, except for one of the important parts about how everyone needs to update their passwords on a regular basis. Like I have said before Billy B. good luck.
As for you coming on here claiming that changing your passwords is useless. You are nothing but a troll Billy B.
Everyone this is a serious warning and everyone should change their passwords.
@Seymore Klearly – – – This Bill isn’t me. No confusion on my end. And, I don’t have the skills to hack, but I’d be able if I was interested in hacking, because I could easily learn it. Thought I’d let everyone know that this Bill is NOT me. Not my style, and I’m not a troll. – – – Nutter.
Didn’t think it was you ANutterVet!
Just the same troll that keeps passing through the pages as “Bill B.” in the past.
@Seymore Klearly – – – I was thinking that it was only a coincidence, but I only wanted all to know that this dude (Bill) isn’t me. Don’t like illegal hackers, and trolls. Thanks. – – – Nutter.
Passwords are a joke. I spent 30 years in data processing as a programmer. If i want to hack anyone “which I dont” passwords are a minor inconvenience to an experienced hacker.
Biometetric data coupled with a truely secure network will take time to hack, but it can still be done.
I know I know most services want you to change your pword every so often but this is just a warm fuzzy and busy work.
I have a VERY secure password, upper & lower case numbers special characters and no words from a dictionary, very secure means it may take an experienced hacker a couple hours longer to get after me if they want me.
Hell Ben with as many people you piss off I can pretty much guarantee you that you have been hacked more than once and dont even know and probably never will know.
I know this bit of info probably does not make anyone feel better but it is the way things are.
If you want to be hack proof go lights out. Then you just have to be careful of mail, phone and door to door scams and every things else the crooks dream up.
In my opinion This world SUCKS and it is only getting worse.l
“Bill”,
“In my opinion This world SUCKS and it is only getting worse!”
I agree!
Yet IF you want it to get better, as millions of true PATRIOTS want, then the time for “pacified resistance” IS over, IF OUR GOVERNMENT doesn’t start working for “We the People”, instead of lining their pockets with OUR monies!
Our “Constitutional Republic” is in mortal danger of becoming the next Venezuela!
I have to disagree in that I do not think this “world sucks” in as much as the “people can often suck” occupying this blue marble called earth.
This ‘world” would be much better with many more cats and dogs and less humans. There would have to be the necessary humans left on earth to change the insane amount of litter boxes and to of course, serve the cat when it served the cat’s best interests.
However, my brother’s dogs fight over eating the crunchy cat-litter-coated cat shit right out of the cat box when he lets the dogs in. He has 5 cats. In that case, less humans could even be utilized by using the dogs to recycle the cat shit.
I’ve given this way too much thought…
Just remember, you can give someone a real ‘Payday’ or payback, by making your very own crunchy cat-litter-coated-cat-shit-bars to give to your friendly VA intake receptionist with a smile as they call your number…
Or to skip the cat shit part but still go with a rancid smell for the payback, consider the longevity and always giving in Winter and Summer a handful of Limburger Cheese tossed down an enemy’s car defrost air vents.
It’s a gift that will keep giving. So is cat shit.
Put up or shut up.
Put your money where your mouth is Bill. Hack me!!
Since clearly you did not read and understand the warning.
Good Luck!
@namnibor
One of my favorite saying is, “Earth, a great place to live if it wasnt for people”
SEYMORE, Nice job. Always look forward to read ur posts.
I used the phone number I gave earlier to contact “Senator Bill Nelson’s office in Washington D.C.!”
Nelson was one of the asswipes which helped pass the bill giving VA loads of taxpayers monies. He told me exactly what Seymore had uncovered over everything being for the VA, and NOT for the Veterans! Only, the asswipe wouldn’t listen to what I had to say.
Nelson was proud he got the bill pushed through. Fucking asswipe!
I hung up on the asshole!
This is exactly why “We the People” are getting pissed at both fuckin houses in Congress!
Every one of these reprobates need to use the VA or ACA for their healthcare! Let them experience the horrendous healthcare first hand!
Fuck ALL the asshole in Washington D.C.!
P.S.
My wife actually got to speak to Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fl.). Man, did she give him an earful.
She told the punk, he really didn’t want to speak to me! Which is exactly what I said later to my wife!
Because, the time I did talk to his interns, I gave lots of information, ie: VA corruption, waste, Fraud and abuse!
My wife said he didn’t know about any of the shit.
In my opinion, Ron DeSantis is nothing more than a fucking punk, wasting air and spending taxpayers monies recklessly!
Most of them would get travel and lodging pay, with food…lots of food. I’m saying if a congressman has to go more than 40 miles…He will get paid. He will get Choice, a good Choice. Rules don’t apply for Them. I can’t see anyone that doesn’t ABSOLUTELY have to go to the VA, going there. Hopefully, that won’t light up those that feel differently.
Y’all want the telephone number to Washington D.C., which (after a couple of prompts) will put you through to your Senator and/or Congressperson?
It’s
(202) 224-3121
I just told my congressman, Ron DeSantis, (R-Fl) to put in a Bill to force ALL of Congress to use the Veterans Administration Healthcare System!
@Crazy elf- May want to specify that the congress critters must utilize their own respective home state VAMC’s in order to potentially act as another layer to that onion of accountability? No special flakes treatment either. Same lines and same purple team leader named Large Marge, same lab rat drawing blood next to a Veteran getting potentially infected with MRSA, Hep A/B/C, or even HIV.
It will never happen to those self-absorbed asshats.
@Namnibor – – – “May want to specify that the congress critters must utilize their own respective home state VAMC’s . . . ”
Great idea !!! May have to try to work that into “Fix the Damn Broken VA” in the future.
To prevent the congress critters from ALL going to Bethesda or John Hopkins in area…nope…
namnibor,
They should be, when in Washington D.C., forced to use the D.C. VHA! When in their home state, use the closest VA clinic, which doesn’t provide any services, other than “lab work” an MAYBE a “physicians assistant!”
Maybe that would “enlighten the asswipes”! But, I seriously doubt it!
Thanks SeymoreKlearly, even though I only have a tablet, and I never put any info on it, other than email, I am changing everything. You’re accurate on everything else. God Bless the Veterans and their families. We in for a ride.
I NEVER “open” anything from someone I don’t know!
My “passwords” are a conglomeration of many numbers and letters! HELL, I had to write them down, so I could “remember them”!
Seymore definitely is on top of things, which have given us protection from many facits of what we “need to know!”
Thank You, Seymore Klearly! You are one of the best people on this site!
elf…I also have a book with them all written down..LOL..But am going to rip those pages out and redo them again
And I will second your remark
Thank You, Seymore Klearly! You are one of the best people on this site!
Rise and Shine Veterans call your Senators and Representative passed a New Disabled Benefit Law who is Disabled Veterans who is Disabled Veterans who is collected 100 percent service connected definitely need to have G4implants by a Cosmetic Dentistry Dentist that know how to put in G4implants because their is not one works for a Veteran Medical Center plus their isn’t not one has a contract with Veteran Affairs Admistratation but they have a Private Clinics know how to put in G4implants unfortunately they want all the money upfront but my belief as a Veteran myself firm belief the money should come From the Federal Government because three quarters of the Disabled Veterans who is collected 100 percent service connected can’t even afford to get a loan to get the G4implants so please Veterans who is reading this Help the Disabled Veterans who is collected 100 percent service connected….Semper Fi.
Good article, Ben.
Yes, Seymore Klearly is right on top of things.
Another tip: When possible on your social media accounts – – – use two-factor authentication.
Good advice from Seymore, as always.
