If you are working on a boiler control system for a government compound or a military base, you can’t plug a civilian computer into their main LAN based system.
Neither can you buy a brand new computer with licenses and programs and have it certified.
You have to have a government purchased computer, set up by them, utilized by a tech with a CACC card cleared technician.
Likewise, a privately owned server, not on a secure network, is beyond the pale.
For a high government official to utilize day to day a non government computer for communications in the performance of their job is in violation of security laws in dozens of ways. To maintain otherwise is beyond stupid.
Many, many thanks for the valuable high-tech deconstruction.
Yes, but it’s a CAC card, amigo. Also, the system she was using was apparently not even encrypted. People need to remember how this story came out. A hacker named “Guccifer” got into Sidney Blumenthal’s email account. He soon realized Blumenthal was communicating with Lucifer, I mean Hillary. Now, how wild is that? Here is an ordinary creep crawling around the internet gleaning information about US State Department intentions from a Clintonista. Does anyone think that a foreign intelligence service might have been able to do a little better? I’m guessing North Korea, China, Russia, Israel, and France all have Hillary’s emails that she destroyed. There is a reason why we try to have closed networks. Unfortunately, Hillary thinks if the Secret Service is near the server in her basement Guccifer and the Chicoms cannot get into it.
