The only item missing from the secret e-mail server run by Hillary Clinton appears to be the welcome mat for hackers. According to the Associated Press, the Clintons set up remote-control operations of its server without ever bothering to build in the normal security that would accompany those functions in a professional setting — if one could even find a professional setting that would allow those functions to operate at all:
Clinton’s server, which handled her personal and State Department correspondence, appeared to allow users to connect openly over the Internet to control it remotely, according to detailed records compiled in 2012. Experts said the Microsoft remote desktop service wasn’t intended for such use without additional protective measures, and was the subject of U.S. government and industry warnings at the time over attacks from even low-skilled intruders. Just in case any hackers missed the “Open House” sign on the unlocked front door, the Clintons left two back doors unlocked, too:
Records show that Clinton additionally operated two more devices on her home network in Chappaqua, New York, that also were directly accessible from the Internet. One contained similar remote-control software that also has suffered from security vulnerabilities, known as Virtual Network Computing, and the other appeared to be configured to run websites.

Perhaps more along the lines of when your priorities are evading the law, you can’t really go to top-line firms. They would laugh in your face and report you to the FBI.
************************************************
Even a Platte River employee recognized “shaddy (sp) sh!t” when they saw it. They didn’t go to the FBI, but the email has since been exposed .... just shows that they knew reducing the backups & deleting info was wrong. It’s obstruction of justice at best .... but it only matters if DOJ charges her with it. Of course, she was using “Clinton Executive Services” for all her contracts .... another layer of ‘insulation’ for the Queen of Corruption & Slick Willy.
I sure would not want to be you if that comment gets noticed by the Freeper ladies here. But I think you are on to something
What difference does it make now?
She already gave away all our national secrets....
The last two ... scratch that three... Democrat administrations have been a bonanza for our enemies.
This would explain a whole lot of things.
The Russians, Chinese and other countries intel people have the goods on Obozo and Hillarious. They have ALL the emails and will hold them as a Sword of Damocles above their heads for the foreseeable future. They want Hillary to win POTUS so they can blackmail her for 8 years...................................
Breasts or other parts?
If both, then CNN.
At this point, I think it would be hard to blackmail her.
Maybe videos with her and Huma, but even that is being forced to be acceptable.
btw, I think the huge push the last few years to make it acceptable is that Barry is being blackmailed. Videos? Pictures?
He is at the mercy of the homomafi.
Everyone who thinks that this will be brought up in the debate tonight, raise your hand. Didn’t think so
It's called PLAUSIBLE DENIALIBILITY!!!
I seriously doubt Hillary has ever had her gateways wide open. And that's probably a good thing.
BINGO!!! It was MEANT to be sloppy and OPEN!!
Obviously, you’ve never met Chloe O’Brian. ;)
Why hasn’t she been stuffed into the backseat of a squad car yet? Oh I know, but still.
Not if the issues are of international import, say double dealing with our enemies or corruption in office for monetary gain. Personal faux pas in today's world are not worth the effort........................
You're smart, but you're not evil enough to really see what is obvious. The people who did this are not naive - they meant to do it this way precisely BECAUSE it WOULD be hacked. Clearly, that was Hillary's goal, her "workaround" to espionage laws. Just make it all available to enemy hacking, and let our enemies do their thing.
It's the SIZE of it all that nobody can grasp. She didn't sell this bit of info or that piece of a secret - she GAVE it ALL away - ALL our secrets, from level of a cabinet position.
It is, by far, the largest and most devastating security breach in American history, and not by accident - it was MEANT to be EXACTLY that.
More proof that Hillary is incompetent and dishonest.

Most transparent and open administration in history.
When Hillary got the job she was supposedly “trained” in the ins and outs of protecting classified ntl security data.
AS FREEPER SERKIT POSTED: Attention investigators:
<><> Who transported Hillary’s server from NY to NJ? Did the Secret Service (who Hillary insists had been guarding it since it was really Bill’s Library/Foundation asset) accompany and supervise the transport of the server?
<><> Per the interview with Platte River Networks, did they just take it, lock it up, not power it up, connect it to the internet, or not have it functioning as an active email server?
<><> Was there continuity of server activity between May 2013 to August 2015, or did the server go off-line starting in June 2013?
<><> Who received actual server in NJ - the name of the Platte River Networks employee/technician? What WAS it - make/model/form factor, etc.?
<><> Did the Clinton Foundation (or issuer of the RFP on Hillary’s behalf) indicate that the company that would provide data services qualified to handle national-security-level data?
<><> In various interviews and reports, Platte River Networks repeatedly stated they were to “upgrade, manage, and secure” the server. What - specifically - does that mean?
<><> What did Hillary’s RFP/contract order the data center to do specifically?
<><> Does Platte River Networks have sufficient security clearance to handle this type of contract?
<><> What were the firewall protocols in place at the time?
<><> Who - by name - had access to the server, and the administrative authorization to wipe and cleanse the server? When was that done?
<><> Does “upgrade, manage, and secure” the server mean that they PRN was given the task to remove all data from the server when it received it in June 2013?
<><> Was malware or antivirus also on the server?
<><> Was the inherent firewall, virus protection, or operating system “upgraded, managed, and secured”?
<><> Any incidents reported such as DOS attack, hacking, etc.? What were they? How were they resolved?
<><> Other than arranging for the server to be moved from NY to NJ, what was the Denver company contracted to do in relation to maintaining the server?
<><> What tangible evidence is there that the server arrived in functioning condition, was being used as an email server, was “upgraded, managed, and secured”, then wiped just prior to seizure by the FBI?
<><> Were normal and regular backup procedures executed on the server, and where would the back ups be kept?
<><> If no backups were taken, was there a disaster recovery location?
<><> Where was that? If no backups and no disaster recovery, what was the plan if the equipment failed or found to have been wiped of any functionality?
<><> Were any foreign nationals employed at Platte River Networks, or at Datto, that had access to the Clinton server?
Of course, she was using “Clinton Executive Services” for all her contracts .... another layer of ‘insulation’ for the Queen of Corruption & Slick Willy.
