Security Logs of Hillary Clinton’s Email Server Are Said to Show No Evidence of Hacking
New York Times ^ | March 3, 2016 | Matt Apuzo

Posted on 03/03/2016 3:05:21 PM PST by Fasceto

A former aide to Hillary Clinton has turned over to the F.B.I. computer security logs from Mrs. Clinton’s private server, records that showed no evidence of foreign hacking, according to people close to a federal investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails.

The security logs bolster Mrs. Clinton’s assertion that her use of a personal email account to conduct State Department business while she was the secretary of state did not put American secrets into the hands of hackers or foreign governments.

The FBI interviewed Guccifer who is setting in a Romanian prison almost two years ago. My guess is they learned Hillary was using a private server at that time. If Guccifer got in, the NYT is shooting blanks.

A hacker cleans the logs after he’s in.

Like, with a cloth?

This was a Microsoft Exchange server. What were they looking at, the security event logs? And what, exactly, did they expect to find?

This absolutely reeks of amateurism. If a sysadmin where I work were involved in anything like it we'd fire the dummy.

Hellary was incompetent as to not secure the safety of the Benghazi personnel and also keeping an unauthorized, insecure server of classified info. She should be totally disqualified of holding any political office. Any yet here we are..

There goes that excuse if classified info is found in foreign hands.

lol - the logs were probably “0 bytes” long ;) ...just as we knew they would be. It is not evidence, it is like proving a negative. Besides, evidence of hacking doesn’t necessarily show up in “security logs”.

So, they`re saying the criminal act of violating her secrecy oath itself is now ok?

I’m no expert but she didn’t have a trusted computing base to begin with and no reference monitor. So how would they even know if she was hacked?

Yes, how do you verify that your server has been hacked anyway?

How Do I Know if My Server Has Been Hacked?
08 Jul , 2015

A lot of people think they’d know if they were hacked. It’s not uncommon for people to believe they were hacked simply because their computer seems to be running slowly or something feels out of the ordinary. The truth, though, is that usually when you’re hacked, there’s no obvious sign. Hackers work hard to ensure their victims are unaware what has happened until it’s too late, if ever.

However, if your server gets hacked, you need to find out as soon as possible. With your server compromised, the party responsible could do just about anything.

This is why it’s so vital that your company has a policy in place regarding new programs being installed. It should cover not just which programs can be installed, but how it will be done. One reason for this is that hackers who get through your server’s safeguards will most likely begin installing software on your computers. With installation complete, the hacker can then use that software to cause all kinds of problems.

Along similar lines, users may all of a sudden start receiving requests from strange programs asking for permission to access your network. This is almost always proof that your server has been hacked.

Of course, you may also find that important programs have been uninstalled. Even your company’s own firewall can be uninstalled by a hacker with enough skill. If you ever notice something like this, whether a hacker is behind it or not, you need to take action ASAP.

Although we covered that hackers like to keep their work a secret, sometimes their goals keep this from occurring. For example, sometimes they want to use computers on your network to send spam emails. Obviously, this will eventually get back to you. Unfortunately, because the hacker is using valid email addresses, many recipients may not realize they’re being scammed until it’s too late.

Another sign that should set off alarm bells is a marked increase in network activity. It often means that your firewall has been hacked or otherwise bypassed. After a hacker gets into your network, they may be interested in using your bandwidth for their own purposes. As a result, normal functions that need an Internet connection may slow down significantly.

Any time a hacker strikes, it should be reason for concern. However, if they’re able to get past your server’s security, there’s no telling what kinds of problems they could cause.

That’s like saying: I poisoned somebody, but they didn’t die, so no crime was committed.

Oh, the NYT says this? About Hillary?

Well then, that settles that. Obviously this is a fake scandal created by a waste right wing conspiracy.

Now let me crawl back onto the turnip truck I fell from.

Yes, in our world it is “still a criminal, felonious act.”
But, we live in the past. Today’s morals are strange to us but seem to be just fine with a majority of people. We are antique artifacts and should not pay attention to them or their wicked ways. Hard to accept the situation but it is reality.
The DOJ will ignore a Clinton indictment and the great unwashed will chalk it up to politics. They will then have redefined “Criminal and Felony.”

Dont’ Trust Michael Schmidt and Matt Apuzzo and Dean Baquet’s New York Times that Employs: They Follow the Clinton Rules...

...so anything and everything they write is under suspicion.

In my inbox this morning:

Everyone noticed that this morning’s [Michael Schmidt and Matt Apuzzo New York] Times story on HRC emails and “criminal investigation” was already being altered and significantly rebutted and walked back by around 9 am? It’s unbelievable...

We really, really need a better press corps here...

Team Clinton is kind of counting on an amateur populace swallowing this pill.
