Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver delivered a damning assessment of the DNC during a press conference and said that the data freeze was “clearly a heavy-handed attempt to undermine this campaign”. But officials said the vendor that runs the system, NGP VAN, used a software patch on Wednesday that allowed all users on the system to briefly access data belonging to other campaigns.

The Sanders campaign said the breach of the files, which contain voter information such as past support and donation history, was an isolated incident and blamed it on the DNC’s software vendor, Washington-based NGP VAN.
― Reuters picWASHINGTON, Dec 19 ― Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’ campaign filed a lawsuit against his party, setting up a potentially fiery showdown with rival and frontrunner Hillary Clinton at their prime-time televised debate today.
Weaver said the staffer was sacked to maintain high ethical standards and that the even the appearance of impropriety is too much. If it’s good enough for the goose on highly damaging nat-sec intel, why shouldn’t it be good enough for the gander when it comes to voter data?
Weaver said four members of the Sanders campaign had accessed the information but that only the actions of one, the campaign’s data director, had risen to the level of a fireable offense.
Though the Sanders campaign initially claimed that it had not saved Clinton data, the logs show that the Vermont senator’s team created at least 24 lists during the 40-minute breach, which started at 10:40 a.m., and saved those lists to their personal folders.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s campaign – whose data was the target of the breach – said Sanders’ campaign workers went “hog wild” in accessing and downloading sensitive material.
“We knew that what we were doing was trackable, and we were trying to create clear record of a problem before reporting it, so that we could make sure weren’t crying wolf, and so we understood the extent of the exposure of our data”, he said. Or, as explained in the campaign’s lawsuit, “The loss of DNC support could significantly disadvantage, if not cripple, a Democratic candidate’s campaign for public office, “. Each campaign can add their own data for their eyes only.
Bernie Sanders’s campaign is going to war with the Democratic National Committee. The staffer resigned, but the campaign said the DNC had overreacted and was making an effort to favor Clinton’s campaign.
He continued: “We are asking that the Sanders campaign and the DNC work expeditiously to ensure that our data is not in the Sanders campaign’s account and that the Sanders campaign only have access to their own data”.

Campaign Manager Weaver echoed that sentiment in a statement, saying, “This is not the first time that the vendor hired by the DNC to run the voter file program, NGP VAN, has allowed serious failures to occur. We have and will do better”, he said. He continued, “We investigated it for a short period of time to see the scope of the Sanders campaign’s exposure and then the breach was shut down presumably by the vendor”.
