Well, Clintoon\u2019s private email is in the news again. And not for good reasons.<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0It seems that, well . . . some people in other countries were interested in Clintoon\u2019s private email server. Seriously interested.<\/p>\n
As in, \u201cpeople who appear to be linked to the People\u2019s Republic of China\u201d. That private email server\u00a0was apparently targeted by malware<\/em><\/a> operating from locations in China, South Korea, and Germany. The malware executing these attacks is reportedly linked to China.<\/p>\n Other attacks, for which more information has not been made public, apparently also occurred.<\/p>\n These attacks occurred during late 2013 and 2014. Those attacks were detected (and apparently blocked) by anti-malware software installed to protect the server in October 2013.<\/p>\n No such anti-malware software was installed on the server prior to 2013. It\u2019s thus unknown if the server was targeted prior to October 2013.<\/p>\n However, were I a betting man, well . . . yeah, I\u2019d guess it was. Some of our adversaries seem pretty damn competent when it comes to this kind of stuff.<\/p>\n 2. \u00a0Remember Platte River Networks and their lack of backups for Clintoon\u2019s mail server? Well, it looks like maybe there\u2019s an explanation for that after all.\u00a0 Apparently, a Clintoon family firm – Clinton Executive Service Corporation \u2013<\/em>\u00a0reportedly\u00a0asked Platte River to reduce the amount of time for which backups of the server were held on-file.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n It appears Platte River originally had backups of the server from day one.\u00a0 Clinton Executive Service Corporation seems to have asked them to reduce that to 30 days \u2013 apparently after the FBI began looking into the matter. Don’t know about you, but that makes me wonder.<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0However, it\u2019s not only Clintoon\u2019s private server that\u2019s an issue. Apparently the FBI recently impounded four servers from the Department of State<\/a><\/em> in conjunction with the matter.\u00a0 Interesting.<\/p>\n 4. \u00a0And, finally: remember those claims by Clintoon that she never saw anything marked as classified in her private email?\u00a0 Well, apparently the lady has rather poor eyesight – or has either very poor reading comprehension or memory. \u00a0At least 3 of the emails that the FBI received from her lawyer do indeed appear to be\u00a0marked as being classified<\/em>.<\/a>\u00a0 And the total number of emails found to contain classified information \u2013 whether marked or unmarked \u2013 is now up to around 400.<\/p>\n Oh, and did I mention that one of those emails found to be marked as classified discussed the Iranian nuclear program?<\/p>\n . . . <\/strong><\/p>\n But hey \u2013 what\u2019s the problem? \u00a0No foreign governments could possibly<\/em> have any interest in Clintoon\u2019s chit-chat with her aides.\u00a0 I mean, she was only the US SECSTATE.\u00a0 She couldn\u2019t possibly discuss anything in those emails of interest to foreign nations, right?<\/p>\n Yeah, right.\u00a0 And I\u2019m the rightful Emperor of China, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
