One issue with the article: it talks about the DNC hack but not the RNC. Both were hacked by Fancy Bear, but only the DNC info was dumped online. Whatever they got from the RNC stayed secret, almost certainly for kompromat.

It looks like the Russians tried to hack everyone and were largely successful against the DNC.
