As such, it has "exercised its sovereign right to temporarily restrict access to some of its private communications network."
4Chan may have wiped Clinton campaign chief's iPhone

They may have been the ones who briefly compromised his Twitter account, too. Podesta's social account is back in running order, but it's not certain what happened to his iPhone and iPad.
