Ah yes, the classic 'shut it down for a few minutes' defense. Stops 'em every time.
"i didnt [sic] want to let them have the chance to" Can you imagine if this was how Google and Amazon handled security?
Among the more disappointing things in all of this is that there is a rational, important conversation to be had about everyday awareness of security and government inflexibility. But there won't be, because she is Hillary Clinton and it is 2016. Supposedly she got the server set up because the NSA refused to give a politician who travels frequently a secure smartphone. She (I personally believe) was likely ignorant…

Powell maintained his own email but without the server in his house, Rice claims she avoided all email, so we have exactly 0 secretaries of state who've handled email 'the right way' in 220-some-odd years of this fine country.

Supposedly she got the server set up because the NSA refused to give a politician who travels frequently a secure smartphone. Baloney. She was the second most powerful person in the US government. If she couldn't get them to provide modern secure communications, she had the ear of the one who could. If it was as you say, and truly that systemic a problem, then indeed heads should politically roll - starting from the…

Indeed. I believe she should be investigated and prosecuted for this, but I nevertheless think it remains a mostly credible claim with respect to Powell. If I understand correctly, Politifact makes the argument that Powell used a personal e-mail address at an established service whereas Clinton installed her own mail server. As someone who believes strongly in revitalizing self-hosting, I find focusing on Hillary's u…
feel free to name specific legal statues that were violated as well as which are misdemeanors or felonies.

Ok she sucks, but she's still the lesser of the two evils imho.
Not sure I'd agree. Seems like her voting record aligns more with neocons than liberals (war, traditional marriage, super predators, etc)
How Hillary is blamed for that and not Bernie is unbelievable.

No nefarious plot. My understanding is that it went roughly like this. Back in 2009 Clinton requested a secure smartphone from the NSA. It's a custom made device (security by obscurity?). Anyway, the president gets one. As the secretary of state she has to travel a lot, and not being able to do email on the road is highly impractical. So she thought she should get one too. The NSA denied her request for a secure smar…
And those slipups should open her to prosecution under the Espionage Act. A number of security professionals (I mean security in the government, Information Assurance sense) have told me that if they or I were to do anything like what Secretary Clinton did, we would be liable to be prosecuted.
I'm currently working with a major health care center - top of the line everything - and they hand me my upcoming appointment schedule printed from "myfreecalendars.com" because their IT people haven't gotten printing working in their new scheduling program, and frankly they just need to get shit done. I'm sure it's a HIPPA violation, but frankly I'm not going to complain because I need to get shit done too.

One of the commenters on the Krebs post makes a remarkable point [1]: "It gets better. Do a dig mx clintonemail.com. You’ll see that the machine’s incoming email was filtered by mxlogic.net, a spam filtering service that works by received all your emails, filtering out the spam, and forwarding you the rest. This is because the hosting provider, Platte River Network, sold a package along with the hosting. The package…
oh my god, this is depressing sad. She could have hired a team of machine learning grad students to build her a personalized spam filter. but she went with the cheapest option. this is going to keep me upset for a while.
Or instead of reinventing the wheel, installed an existing spam detection product like SpamAssassin on the email server.

Here are the results from the FOIA request that underlie that statement. The NSA certainly pushed back. https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judi...
I think the NSA wanted to give her a secure Windows Mobile (or whatever it was called back then) phone, which may have been better supported. They also mention security issues with Blackberry, presumably even if they tried to make it "secure" themselves. If I remember correctly, they didn't want to allow Obama to use a Blackberry either back then, but he was a big fan of Blackberries and said he couldn't use the much…

"She" did nothing of the sort. She told someone she wanted her email available. They said, ok, we'll just host it ourselves. "Whatever, I want my daily suduko and make sure I stop getting those damn linked-in spams". "Ok boss". Seriously, how could anyone really believe she specc'd this out herself? Her staff probably threw it together as a MVP with the full intention of revisiting the implementation "really soon". A…
