The DNC was warned by the FBI in September 2015 that their system had been compromised, but did not take action until April 2016 when they finally hired a cybersecurity firm to investigate. By that time, much of the damage had already been done. If they had taken action earlier, it is possible that they could have prevented or minimized the impact of the hacks.
