Ask HN: In what way are Russians accused of hacking the election?

In other words, what computers in particular are they accused of hacking, and why would said computers be exposed in such a way to allow anyone to access them as easily as they say they were?

They aren't accused of hacking. They are being accused of manipulating the baby-boomer generation and anyone else that can't distinguish and ad from regular content on the internet.
You're referring to the Russian twitter trolls? Seriously? This is what all the fuss is about? FUD spreading on the internet?
