"By using her own private server with email — which we now know was wholly unencrypted for the first three months of Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state — she left this easily interceptable by any decent 21st century SIGINT service," said John Schindler, a former National Security Agency counterintelligence officer. SIGINT is shorthand for signals intelligence, or electronic spying.
"The name Clinton right on the email handle meant this was not a difficult find," Schindler said. "We should assume Russians, Chinese and others were seeing this."
"In all, this is a counterintelligence disaster of truly epic proportions, not to mention that, since Clinton admitted she did not use higher-classification email systems at all" — systems like SIPR and JWICS, Schindler said — "we have to assume some bleed-over into her unsecured private email too, which makes this even worse."
SIPR is the Secret Internet Protocol Router network that the Department of Defense runs to ensure secret communications for the U.S. military, other agencies and certain allies. JWICS is the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System for top-secret government communication. Both provide secure communications for the State Department and secretary of state. Clinton's private server was not protected by the Department of Homeland Security's Einstein intrusion detection system, which relies on NSA systems, for official State Department emails.
Others say that the potential damage to U.S. national security is so grave that the FBI should seize the server and conduct a forensic analysis to determine the extent of foreign penetration. That analysis would be part of what is called a damage assessment, which is routine after any suspected security breach.
But nothing will be done, because nothing can be done to one of the nation's elites like Mrs. Clinton clearly is. No matter that she, for her own selfish reasons, has exposed the the entire government to the eyes of hostile foreign governments.
This alone should disqualify her for any government office, as she is now subject to blackmail.
Meanwhile, the Russians successfully hack the White House, which had much better security.
I think that in a show of love for the American people, Vladimir Putin should hand over all of the deleted e-mail so that we can read them.
ReplyDeleteNaw, He'll keep it for blackmail later, when she's president. As will the Chinese, the Iranians, the North Koreans, the Nigerians, the West Slobovians...literally the only people who haven't read those emails are the American people.
DeleteI don’t know how should I give you thanks! I am totally stunned by your article. You saved my time. Thanks a million for sharing this article.
ReplyDeleteThe only people she ever considered as a threat to her ambitions are the voters. As long as they never see what she wrote, SHE is safe.
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side, she likely didn't know any really good secrets like technology anyway. Her biggest secrets would be her own mechinations to mold the world to her liking. Stuff that only harms her personally if it becomes known, not the American People.
Blogging is the new poetry. I find it wonderful and amazing in many ways.
