"The fact that she received those emails means little."In fact it means her server wasn't protected with a good email malware filter.
Yes, that too. A decent commercial email filter is not too expensive, is easy to install, and *nothing* bad passes through it if properly configured. Sometimes I look at the logs, and they are full of junk from all kinds of places, reporting of payments, FedEx packages, and other bait. Our employees never see even a bit of that. HRC would be much better off if she hired a basement-dwelling, Linux-running, GnuPG-using geek to set up her server. Would be still illegal, of course, but at least it would be a challenge to break in. But a Windows server? Hah. Thousands of vunerabilities for it are floating around, and zero-days are an easy purchase for any government.
