Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton opened herself up to fresh attacks from Republicans yesterday over the home server and private email she used for official business, after she admitted top-secret government information was in danger of cyberattacks — saying the State Department was targeted “at least every day.”

Clinton, who sat down with WMUR for a rare one-on-one interview that aired yesterday, was responding to a question about the recently revealed suspected Chinese hack of the Office of Personnel Management that compromised millions of federal employees.

“The State Department was attacked at least every day, if not several times a day while I was there. Many of those were repelled by the security protections that were in the system, but we know there have been increasingly sophisticated attacks that are penetrating,” Clinton said during WMUR’s CloseUP. “In fact I mean, the president’s personal email was gone after in a cyberattack on the White House system. We have to give this the highest priority. We have to do everything we can to work not only to protect government information, because obviously that is important, especially top-secret information, intelligence information.”

But Kathy Sullivan, who co-chaired Clinton’s New Hampshire team in 2008, brushed off renewed concerns that Clinton compromised sensitive national data by using a private server.

“I’ve always thought this email story was not something that is of concern to most Americans,” Sullivan said.

Is she saying Americans aren’t concerned about it or that it non of our concern? Interesting phrasing there........almost like a lawyer.
