Too good: Hillary's e-mail wiper went on Reddit for advice on how to hide a 'VERY VIP' address
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/21/16 | Dan Calabrese

Only to begin furiously deleting all the posts - just yesterday, mind you - when other Reddit users realized who he was

If you don’t know the name Paul Combetta, you might simply remember him as Stonetear. That’s how he’s apparently known both on Reddit and on Etsy, and he’s the guy at Platte River Networks who was tasked with trying to wipe Hillary’s server clean of all her e-mails after they became the subject of a congressional subpoena.

As you might expect, Hillary neither wanted Combetta to comply with the subpoena nor proceed legally. What she wanted was for him to make sure that no one could trace anything she was doing back to her, which presented him with the unusual challenge of trying to replace Hillary’s e-mail with a fake one. How do you do that? Combetta didn’t know. So he took to Reddit using his screen name Stonetear to see if anyone could help.

He also solicited help on their earlier server security problem, and gave hackers the keys to the store:

Paul Combetta of Denver-based Platte River Networks posted Clinton’s proprietary IP address on a reddit.com web forum, soliciting help from clandestine IT specialists to help fix security patches on Clinton’s email server. According to one such post, obtained by True Pundit, Combetta divulged publicly that the secure socket layer encryption that protects the data from intrusion was not functioning. In an effort to have other IT specialists ping the server to try and troubleshoot the security holes, Combetta publicly provided Clinton’s coveted IP address.

I think he just bought himself a trip to Ft Marcy Park. Sad how he will have become so overwhelmed with guilt that he will be found to have been shot, stabbed, poisoned, struck by lightning and jumped from a 5th floor window.

The official coroner's verdict will be, "Death by the visitation of God..."

The guy is a freeking idiot....

Firstly, You probably want to host the PST files on a separate physical hard disk for backup/redundancy issues for the Exchange server.

All you have to do is delete the emails from the PST file, then use the compact file option, copy the PST to a different partition/disk, then use DBAN on the disk, then put the disk back in and replace the PST file...and I think i said too much...

This “tech guy” sounds like he was just an average user...loser... because he had to ask reddit for help, half the questions he had could be answered just researching on wiki from a freshly wiped laptop using a public wifi access spot....

I don’t see how the American people could understand all of this; it doesn’t lend itself to a simple phrase.

[ Stonetear wanted to change the From: name & addy on the emails, not just wipe em. ]

That is easy, you export PST file as a CSV file, make the changes then re-import overwrite them....

Probably didn;t know how to use MS-Excel either, LOL
