EXCLUSIVE: Nearly six years after auditors first warnedback in then-Secretary of State Hillary Clintons daythat thousands of unused or neglected State Department e-mail accounts risked being compromised by unauthorized users for unauthorized purposes, thousands of similar accounts still exist, according to an internal watchdog report.
By federal rules, the inactive accounts are supposed to be shut down after 90 days. But according to the latest report from States Office of the Inspector General (OIG), issued last month, the majority of some 2,600 zombie accounts have been inactive for more than a year, despite department claims that they deleted them from the system.
According to the report, the State Department bureaucracy clean-up is ineffective, while the dormant accounts create potential conduits for hackers and a risk that could compromise the integrity of the departments network and cause widespread damage.
If the clearance levels on the accounts were high enough, the report warns, State could suffer undetected losses of personal information from its system.

As long as there is no intent it is no big deal
Sooooo.....delete them
Smokescreen...building the meme that the state dept IT was so awful, HRC’s best and most secure choice was to use her own server. Complete BS.
The federal government has been hacked so many times, I would hazard a guess that every federal employee’s personal information is “ out there.”
Why should State Secrets from any agency be different?
IOW, DUH!!!
What if they are hacked before they can be deleted?
The ‘zombie’ accounts are the cabal network that Hillary is running as the ‘secret government-within-the-government’.
At this point, what difference does it make? All real gov’t email traffic is now done on gmail.com and yahoo.com under false names.
That is also a reality in the private sector as well for both email and file storage. I've been drug through a few electronic records production efforts and it is not pleasant. Most corporations have record retention policies and prefer to get rid of all electronic documentation as soon as allowed by either statute or regulatory compliance. Just for fun, throw in different data privacy, data ingress and data egress policies for different countries, states and local jurisdictions and it is a nightmare.
Sux2bthem.
State department is always whining that they are second class to the DOD with respect to planning and funding. Wel, now they prove that that are. Bunch of unprofessional turds.
Clue to Fox News
They got the email lists from Hillary Clinton’s non-secured server
>If the Dumbocrats can have a sit-in for gun control,
then why don’t the Republicans hold a sit-in for Hillary’s ARREST??
Ha! Now, that’s cute....actually believing the GOP is in a vs. mode w/ the DEM/Leftists/Socialists.
All I hear these days is the woulda/shoulda/coulda talk...there’s no ‘walk the walk’ anywhere.
They know there were hacked years ago and have done nothing to stop it as Hillary Clinton was using her pc’s as a dead drop as one poster here stated to pass secret information to our enemies for money.
At this point what difference does it make?
Good point IMO. It’s a side scenario they most definitely would create to make a convincing argument as you have outlined. They aren’t beyond this sort of creativity.
Surely you aren't implying our national security and state secrets have been compromised by gross negligence and outright stupidity not only on the part of a former Secretary of State but many minions too?
And it is still happening?
That would be yuugggge!
We would HAVE to build a southern border stopgap just to have a wall long enough to line all the traitors up against.
...and those discard policies are a serious pain in regards technical notes and legacy equipment. First they make you go paperless, then they start auto deleting everything older than 3 years that isn’t part of the main manual system.
