AP Exclusive: Clinton Server's Software Had Hacking Risk

- connected to the Internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers
- appeared to allow users to connect openly over the Internet to control it remotely, according to detailed records

It apparently not only lacked security, it was set up badly with very vulnerable software that was warned against repeatedly.

9. Uh--no one knew she HAD a server, so how would she be a "high profile target?"

They'd be looking in DC, not in her basement.

... they do realize that to hack a server they don't really have to be in the same room... right?

52. Not to mention -- it was negligent even if it never was hacked - just as a DUI is bad even if you don't hit anything. This shows a frightening lack of concern for the security of her email. While it is true, that neither a state.gov account or this one should have ever had any classified information, even the leaking of details of her travel could have put her and others at greater risk if someone had found the impact.

Not to mention, as soon as Bloomenthal's email was hacked - it should not have been hard to figure out who H was on clintonemail.com!

58. No not negligent either!!!!! Funny thing is nothing illegal was done, nothing was compromised nothing marked secret at the time was sent or received. Everything sent to government officials was stored on their government server.
This is a non story kept alive by folks out to hurt Hillary's campaign and carry water for repubs.
It is a waste of time

8. ALL servers have a "Hacking Risk"

There's no such thing as a "hack proof server".

13. Give me a break

Not only was it proven there was nothing secret on her emails, she was not hacked. Ok, they didn't put in all the detail required to make it more secure. So friggin what!!!! Life goes on.

Why don't they just leave her alone. By the way, drop the Bengazi crap too. 8 times and she's clean? It's unbelievable what the right will do to make an issue out of NOTHING!!!!

Reminds me of a scene from Police Squad with Leslie Neilson. NOTHING to see here. Please move on!!!

55. known is hundreds of classified and 4-5 top secret...so far. also known is incredibly poor judgement

to use a homebrewed, unprotected, highly vulnerable Windows server for highly sensitive work by an individual that an 8 year old would recognize as a prime target for spies.

Also known are the months and months of stonewalling and attempts to deflect.

Also known is the attempt to make it everybody else's fault. Even Obama is obliquely blamed, since Hillary has pronounced that as President she would have shut the various and sundry investigations down.

All that is unknown is how many more are to come, what secrets and embarassments they contain, and who's hands the top secret info got into.

63. None were marked Top Secret. None were even marked Classified.

I guess you must be pretty desperate to be using bullshit Red State talking points like that Hillary's server was "homebrewed, highly vulnerable." It was never hacked, unlike the State Department's servers.

35. The bottom line is that it wasn't hacked, and...

....the media (and RW) like to say the server was "in her home basement" like the house was some two-bedroom bungalow on a residential street.

Her "home" is a fortress guarded by the Secret Service 24/7.

really understand the issue.

Remind me again, what was Petraeus convicted of?

And to those who say "nothing was MARKED", do you need something to be marked to know not to say it? Should troop movement timetables for D-Day have been published prior to the op? I'm sure somecopy somewhere wasn't marked.

Better question, DUmmies: If Trump had a homebrew email server in his guarded mansion that had classified info on it, what would you be saying?

Amazing all the IA training I do every year talks about being able to identify all sensitive and classified information that's not marked.   :banghead:

Wrong. Archive.org captured it. Granted : it produces a blank page - which makes some sense as it wasn't used for web traffic, but it <<IS>> there.

The simple fact that an automated web-crawler found the server makes it clear that it WAS known to exist. - even back in 2011. Don't believe me, DUmmies ? Look for yourself.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://clintonemail.com

Edited to add : - I forgot to mention that with the server delivering a blank page when crawled is more than enough to tell me it was horribly misconfigured. There should have been <NOTHING> coming out of port 80 (the default web page port) at all. Delivering a blank page instead of a standard error 105 (name not resolved) makes it clear to anybody interested that there is something there.

30. How many systems do you support in your role as an admin?

I can't answer for the primitive you are trying to impugn, but I will say I'm overseeing a combined total of 77 domains(http://domain.com) and subdomains (http://subdomain.domain.com) . So, yeah...

Ummm, somebody's not been paying attention to the news. Scores, if not hundreds, of emails turned over have been found to have classified info in them.

Further, the kinds of hackers who would want to hack into Tsaritsa CHILL's server for the sake of information would not leave calling cards. In fact, they would leave as little trace of their presence as possible, so as to be able to come again and again and ... .  IOW, unless several of the very best security experts have checked her system thoroughly and found it clean - with no gaps - saying it wasn't hacked is empty stupidity.

 :facepalm2:

How, how, how does one person get so damned ignorant?

If they got into the email accounts of any of her correspondents, they'd immediately get HER email addy and its domain name (If not her server IP, depending on the method of initial penetration).  The attacker does not know or, usually, care where the server is physically located.  From that point, it's off to the races for the hacker.

It appears her server had such shitty security precautions that I have no confidence the investigators will actually be able to tell whether highly-skilled attackers, like the PLA, ever got into it or not, but given their relentless and pervasive attempts to penetrate our Government systems, it wouldn't surprise me to find out the Chinese were reading them before she did.

What was the email domain?  hillaryclinton.org?  Yeah, it's not like a bored seven-year-old couldn't have discovered that.

Sorry.  Can't do that.

Saturday Night Massacre, anyone?

PLEASE let it happen. If Hillary MUST be elected, PLEASE let her try to stop her own criminal investigation. I WANT THE CLINTONS TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE ONLY IMPEACHED COUPLE.
