Feds, tech experts warned software on Clinton server was vulnerable to hack attacks

WASHINGTON – The private email server running in Hillary Clinton’s home basement when she was secretary of state was connected to the Internet in ways that made it more vulnerable to hackers, according to data and documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

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.

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.

Curious as to whether the moderators will ask Mrs. Clinton any questions about the email/server scandal. My instinct says that if they do it will be prescreened softball questions.

An email server set up by a mom-and-pop company using servers located in their bathroom aren’t secure enough for US top-secret information?!?!?! Who knew!?!?!?!

I’d love for a question about which time she was lying related to the deletion of emails. At one point she said she was the person deciding which ones were deleted, and another time she said others did it.
