HOME BREW? OR HOME BREACH?

THERE’S NO WAY HILLARY’S HOME SERVER COULD WITHSTAND A CYBER ATTACK

IT BEGINS: AP SUES FOR CLINTON RECORDS

CYBER SECURITY EXPERT: Michael Daugherty, is a Board Member at Snoopwall the powerhouse cyber-security firm and is author of The Devil Inside the Beltway: The Shocking Expose of the US Government’s Surveillance and Overreach Into Cyber-security, Medicine and Small Business.

HARD DRIVE DESTROYED?
NOTHING CLASSIFIED? REALLY?

“As Hillary Clinton sought to assure the public that her exclusive use of a private email account while working in the State Department was innocuous, cybersecurity experts are wondering whether she could have exposed the nation to a major security threat.

“Clinton operates at a level of scrutiny that us mere mortals don’t,” Alex McGeorge, senior security researcher at Immunity Inc., told Business Insider. “The question is whether she could have developed an email system that would withstand sophisticated cyberattacks.”

From indications we have so far, the answer is no, according to McGeorge. Government email accounts are extremely valuable to cybercriminals and foreign spies — hackers are constantly probing servers for security holes and vulnerabilities.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Clinton told reporters that the server was set up under her husband Bill’s presidential administration and that Secret Service members guard the server.

She added that there were “no security breaches,” but did not provide details about her technical security team.

The government has teams of cybersecurity experts from various agencies who monitor servers day and night for signs of hacker activity — that way, in the event that a server is infiltrated, these experts can jump on the threat immediately and eliminate it before it’s too late.

“On the nation-state level, bad guys have the ability to pinpoint security holes that other low-level hackers might not know about,” McGeorge said. “Government cybersecurity experts know that government servers will be compromised no matter what, so they are fully prepared to get hackers off the system as soon as possible.”

So if Clinton did not have her own team of experts monitoring the security of her “homebrew” email server, then she may have a problem.”
