Full title: Pagliano Emails Detail Attempts to Hack Clinton Unsecure Email Server 10 Times in Two Days in November 2010 – U.S. Secret Service Informed of Hacking Attempts

Pagliano Warned Bill Clinton Aide Justin Cooper, ‘We’d Be Susceptible to Such an Attack’

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released new State Department documents detailing repeated efforts to hack into the unsecure non-state.gov email system used by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in November 2010. The hacks are detailed in email exchanges between State Department IT official Brian Pagliano and Bill Clinton aide Justin Cooper. The emails show the system was hacked 10 times in two days from November 27 to 29.

The documents also reveal that Pagliano warned Cooper that because of an outside service vendor relied upon by the Clinton system, “we’d be susceptible to such an attack.” Cooper subsequently informed the U.S. Secret Service of the attempted hacks, providing agents with each of the ten reports and summaries Pagliano had provided him.

The new documents were among the nearly 15,000 Clinton emails discovered by the FBI, and obtained in response to an April 8, 2016, federal court order directing the Department of State to begin producing materials for Judicial Watch in response to a September 3, 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-01441)). The lawsuit was filed after State failed to comply with an August 5, 2015 FOIA request seeking information about Bryan Pagliano’s involvement with Clinton’s email system.

The ten emails from Pagliano alerting Cooper to the apparent hacking attempt began on the morning of Saturday, November 27, 2010, and continued through Monday, November 29. Each of the ten alerts contained the same message, apparently from the cyber security firm Symantec: “There was a failed logon attempt logged on the server. To check who it was log onto the server and double click on the toolbox icon labeled Failed_Logon_Attempt….”

On both November 29 and November 30, Pagliano sent Cooper emails detailing the attempted hack:

From: Bryan Pagliano

To: Justin Cooper

Sent: Monday, Nov 29 10:48:31 2010

Subject: Re:

So, to update you…

The failed logon attempts on the 27th were for username doug and dougband, the failed logon attempts on the 29th were for username huma. Would be useful to know if it was them who tried to log in…

From: Bryan Pagliano

Date: November 30, 2010 12:22:55 AM EST

To: Justin Cooper

Subject: Re:

Weird, looks like the attack came from 208.67.222.222 and started at around 5pm.

It’s a company called OpenDNS, they are a fairly reputable organization.

The traffic seems to have cleared up at about 11:50pm. I wonder if they had someone launching an attack from their servers.

That may explain the DNS issue we had earlier. Might have been an injection attack [NOTE: most common and successful attacks on the internet due to their numerous types, large attack surface, and the complexity required to protect against them]. We use their servers to resolve external websites for both the sbs and blackberry server so we’d be susceptible to such an attack. [Emphasis added]

Later on November 30, Cooper sent the entire email exchange with Pagliano to the Secret Service. Before providing Judicial Watch with Cooper’s email reports, the State Department redacted the identity of Cooper’s intended recipient with the notation “REFERRED FOR CONSULTATION – USSS.” The State Department redacted the recipient under a “B7 (C)” FOIA exemption, which is “Law enforcement information whose disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”

“These new emails show that the Clinton email server was subject to an aggressive and targeted hacking attempt. And we now know that yet another government agency, the United States Secret Service, not only knew about the Clinton email system but that it was the target of hacking,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Clinton email scandal has now widened to yet another Obama administration agency.”

Seems just about everyone in government knew about Mrs. Bill Clinton's private server except 0bama.

The Secret Service needs to explain why they didn’t turn this over for further investigation. It had to be obvious that the server was unsecure, and that it had classified information on it. And was a target for hackers.

I can confidently state that that number is low, probably by several orders of magnitude.

State-sponsored hackers can jiggle the lock many times per second.

I'll be Russia, China, Israel, and Iran knew about Hillary's home State Department e-mail server within minutes of its going live.

Some may have known before it went live.

Hell, I'll bet some had the passwords, supplied by you-know-who.

Yep.

I just heard Bret Baier on Fox discussing this.

The headline should be “Top Government Officials, including President Obama, knew about Hillary’s private e-mail server since 2010”

But, it will likely read, “Donald Trump and the Women Hating Russians have been attacking Hillary since 2010”

wait...what?

I thought the server was ‘secret?’ What was/is she the most powerful person in Washington that people refuse to do their jobs?

Off with all their heads!

I'm fairly certain that at least some of the S/S agents wanted - or tried - to alert other security services about what they were doing, and were told to put a sock in it or they'd be doing Secret Service work in Alaska.

well if a SS Agent isn’t smart enough to anonymously report serious criminal behavior they shouldn’t be carrying a gun and a badge.

Obama knew it too and lied to U.S. Citizens!

Otherwise, why would he have communicated using a pseudonym to attempt to conceal his identity?

This is #1 on WikiLeaks list of 100 most damaging emails (WikiLeaks Exec Summary, i.e. “Cliff Notes” pasted below) which also reveals the INTENT on part of HRC and her staff to conceal / destroy evidence AFTER subpoenaed:

1. Obama lied: he knew about Hillary’s secret server and wrote to her using a pseudonym, cover-up happened (intent to destroy evidence)

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/31077#efmAABABT

https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton/hillary-r.-clinton-part-03-of-04/view

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/779729882146283521

•“Jen you probably have more on this but it looks like POTUS just said he found out HRC was using her personal email when he saw it in the news… we need to clean this up - he has emails from her - they do not say state.gov”

•“How is that not classified?” Huma Abedin to FBI when shown email between Clinton & Obama using his pseudonym. Abedin then expressed her amazement at the president’s use of a pseudonym and asked if she could have a copy of the email.”

•I can't state how huge this is, it's a cover up involving the President of the United States. There are a lot of emails implying this, but this email states it very clearly so anyone can understand. The email proves obstruction of justice and shows how they lied to the FBI, and likely perjury of Congress. This at the very least proves intent by her Chief of Staff.

•Obama used executive privilege on their correspondence. Cheryl Mills (who was given immunity) states they need to “clean up” the Clinton/Obama e-mails because they lacked state.gov.

•Additionally, Obama on video publicly denied knowing about the server. He also claimed on video that he learned about the secret server through the news like everyone else. The corruption goes all the way to the top! Obama is lying to the American public.

•Hillary Clinton set up her private server to hide her pay to play deals discovered throughout these leaks, and to prevent FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests.

•Paul Combetta was hired to modify the email headers that referred to a VERY VERY VIP individual, i.e; change the name of who it was from. If you read Stonetear/Combetta story, it's easy to see this is exactly what he was attempting. He wanted to change header information on already sent mail to show “state.gov” instead of Hillary's private email address. Multiple people informed him of the infeasibility (and illegality) of it, so somewhere in the next 6 days it was decided that simply eradicating them was the only option left.

•The FBI said they could not find intent of trying to break the law, therefore no recommendation of prosecution. This email proves, in plain language, that there was intention, and knowingly broke the law.

•Ask yourselves: why would they both be communicating on a secret server to each other? Why not through normal proper channels? What were they hiding? We may soon find out…

Doug Band had access to the server?

He works for Teneo. Why would he have access?

The Clintons are so freakin’ arrogant. Although it’s good to see their arrogance is what is bringing them down and most likely the whole DNC, the media, and DC establishment.

It’s a good day to be a Constitutional abiding American.

10 failed logon attempts may imply somebody was attempting to log into these very specific accounts with passwords they suspect were likely good — pilfered from some other service, perhaps. Or even the result of spear fishing.

>Citizen Activist Dr. Larry Kawa of Boca Raton, Florida today announced that he has expanded the scope of his efforts to bring former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s hidden electronic communications to light. He is now calling for full disclosure of a hard drive that was turned over by Datto Inc. to the FBI as of 2015. According to CNN, the contents of the Datto hard drive are believed to contain all of Hillary Clinton’s backed up electronic communications from her time as Secretary of State.

Pic related is from last part about the datto hard drive.

if we can push this on Chaffetz, Gowdy, Comey, FBI in general, etc enough, something may move forward.

That and, "let us do our jobs and we'll get it done" which seems to me to be the best of both worlds. Remember he mentioned "retribution" in his rallies, normally in connection to companies leaving but he doesn't use words carelessly. There are things said that seem off or awkward - they are signals. Those signals have been received.

WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS

WE DEMAND RULE OF LAW

WE WILL HAVE LAW AND ORDER

WE WILL HAVE JUSTICE

>>95575329 And what did we see? Massive blocks redacted. What should that say immediately to everyone looking at it? That classified info was being sent to and through the CF.

It's amazing how many /pol/acks are missing this since it is so incredibly obvious and in-your-face. Kind of disappointing desu

Think like you're a detective or analyst: there are separate data points, look at the relationships, the statements, the movements and CONNECT THE DOTS
