WASHINGTON (AP) -- Newly released emails show State Department staffers wrestled in December 2010 over a serious technical problem with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's home email server. They temporarily disabled security features, which left the server more vulnerable to hackers. Weeks later, hackers attacked the server so seriously it was shut down.

AP update: This version updates with State Department clarifying that security features on the department’s computer system were disabled. An earlier version reported that the security features on Clinton’s home server were disabled.

That is why she HAS to become the President—she has to over up every rabbit trail that could expose her.

Even if she has to Vince Foster people.

Does anyone know....

If you do not lock your doors and a would-be thief walks in, has he committed any crime?

I remember reading about a month ago, that Hillary had her password disabled. I know from past experience what that means is anyone who tried to login would have instantly been let in WITHOUT even trying to hack in. The system would not have even asked for any password.

From another thread: Drip, drip, drip. When are we going to hear from Comey?

If she skates on this, it's over for the country as every court in the country will say, "Well, Hillary got away with it!" The precedent will have horrible long term consequences. It will green light corruption and pay-for-play at every level of government. The beginning of the end. . .

Mr. Comey, I know your working on it but can you just give us a progress report? Even if you had a press conference and said something like, "You know folks, I'm working on two areas with Hillary Clinton. The email/server issue is about done and I'll be making recommendation to AG Lynch soon. The tentacles and permutations with the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative are way more involved than we initially thought. I can't give you a time-line on that."

For those who say we only have one shot at the Queen, I say why can't they be two totally different cases? I've heard scuttlebutt that the email/server investigation is basically done. Feedback from our legal beagles please on whether or not they can be two separate cases with the AG or are they hopelessly intertwined and we do indeed only have one case with the Queen.

Mr. Comey, please heed the cogent words of Jacquerie: If Hillary skates after taking bribes, and committing treason and espionage it will establish the precedent of unpunished high crimes and felonies for untouchable senior politicians. Say adios to the rule of law and the remains of our republic.

Mr. Comey, please do the right thing and make history. . Millions of Americans will back you.

You have nailed it. Now it’s time for Congressional Oversight. We can hope for journalists, bloggers, the Trump camoaign, DoJ allowing an indictment, etc., all to little or no avail. But without Checks and Balances starting to work, the Republic dies.

Just a guess. The hackers got in and then disabled them. Tech minded Freepers would know.

I think she jeopardized the security of the United States. In fact, that information WAS compromised,in fact. That is ESPIONAGE and disqualifies her statutorily for office. . For the life of me — with the future of the nation at stake , I do not understand the interminable delay of justice from our FBI. It is very troubling for any American Patriot.

Typical of the clueless misrepresentation you get from the Dinosaur® media. The only time a compromised server gets shut down because of attack detection is when the perps are complete dumbasses. Serious blackhats don't leave any trace of their breaches, and once compromised all but the most sophisticated diagnostic tools would fail to detect that the system ever was (or even still is) compromised.

Well, they also tried to say the server was attacked with an assault rifle but the editor told them that angle probably wouldn't fly.

We just got word that Huma had the security on the state department server turned off today. Guess our entire department was opened to hacking !
With her connections to Mulim brotherhood I certainly hope someone is looking into the treason facet of this YUGE fiasco.

“The Russians, Chinese, and North Koreans are scanning billions of ports per second 24/7/365. Once they realized what they were into, they’d have taken active measures to freeze the amateurs out.”

Ah, but we know Guccifer got in anyway, and he was not a sophisticated hacker. So they obviously didn’t seal the thing up very tightly if they were able to get in first.

Realize that gathering evidence takes time but this is critical. Are they trying to tie BHO into this too. Val is his handler. What did she know? When did she know it?

Laz is of the opinion that this is all linked to that huge OPM data breach, IIRC. Makes sense to me, the damage is probably far worse than we can even guess at this point.

Bet on it. Sometimes people forget how in 1998 the Clinton administration outsourced our Y2k coding to a Chinese company, Primeon. They had their home office in Bejing, and we would send our military's source code to them digitally for them to "fix." Of course, on the surface, this company had at least one office in the USA for appearance's sake, but when we started digging into it, everything led right back to that Bejing office.

Then after that there was the entire Loral satellite technology sale to China by Bill and Hill.

And remember that leak where Bill was allegedly "stuck" in an elevator with the Chinese leaders for about 15 minutes?

I'm probably remembering about 1/99th of the Clinton's selling of our technology to foreign governments. And here she is, running for President. Unfrigginbelievable!

Wow. Do a thread pointing all of this out with links. Someone is sure to pick it up.

It all disappeared when the FR servers were changed. This was ‘98 and ‘99 before the changeover. I don’t remember who else was pursuing it. At the time, we could NOT believe that bill clinton was sending our sensitive source code to them for remediation. It was more than just our military, too. Other federal agencies such as NASA, etc.

Ha, ha. Now all Hillary has to do to collect foreign money is wait for the check to clear and then change her password to “admin” or “password.” See how far advanced we are now as a nation? /s

Lost a lot when the servers changed at least access from here. But IIRC maggie has access to the old stuff !

If Hillary had used her official .gov email address, none of this would have been necessary.

I DID a search before I posted my thread, the the OP of this thread altered the headline from AP in violation of FR rules.

When I searched, nothing was returned.

And besides, THIS headline obfuscates the real issue.

The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets. Opening an attachment would have allowed hackers to take over control of a victim`s computer.

Client computer, not server. The article gives no useful details on the server. But servers have many other vulnerabilties particularly email servers and web servers.
