“It was a temporary glitch through a software patch that opened this window. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman, said Friday she was troubled by the Sanders campaign taking advantage of the software glitch to access the Clinton campaign’s voter data. We saw a security breach and we tried to assess it and understand it, Uretsky continued.” “To my knowledge, we did not take anything out of the system it was in and did not gain anything out of it. “I saw it and attempted to investigate and attempted to do it in a transparent manner.” “The breach was in no way our fault,” said Uretsky.
He said his team did not export any data and that he intentionally left a record of what he was doing in the system and did not try to hide his actions. Josh Uretsky, a Sanders campaign staffer who was fired Wednesday after viewing Clinton campaign data, told ABC News he was trying to investigate the data issue to see what information was vulnerable on their end so he could adequately report it to the software company. In a news conference outside Sanders’ campaign headquarters Friday in Washington, D.C., Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, blamed the incident on the DNC and its software vendor. The DNC temporarily suspended the campaign’s use of the database after Sanders staffers accessed data from the Clinton camp during a breakdown of the firewall in the system. The database includes information such as demographic and geographic data for registered voters and voter history and is vital to the Sanders campaign because it “has been financed primarily with contributions from individual donors rather than Political Action Committees,” the suit says. “The Sanders campaign has agreed to fully cooperate with the continuing DNC investigation of this breach.” “Based on this information, we are restoring the Sanders campaign’s access to the voter file but will continue to investigate to ensure that the data that was inappropriately accessed has been deleted and is no longer in possession of the Sanders campaign,” the statement said. In a statement issued late Friday, the DNC said Sanders’ campaign had complied with the DNC request to provide information amid its investigation. The allegations over the data breach were expected to be a main topic of Saturday night’s Democratic debate as Sanders and Clinton staffers exchanged in a back-and-forth over what happened when a firewall separating the campaigns from each other’s data went down briefly earlier this week. (MANCHESTER, N.H.) - Campaign staff for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders regained access voter data provided by the Democratic National Committee Saturday after being blocked from using the database over allegations staffers accessed information from Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
