Clinton's Private Email System Gets a Security "F" Rating

Posted by timothy on from the expected-to-hold-a-media-availability dept.

Penguinisto writes According to a scan by Qualys, Hillary Clinton's personal e-mail server, which has lately generated more than a little controversy in US political circles, has earned an "F" rating for security from the security vendor. Problems include SSL2 support, a weak signature, and only having support for older TLS protocols, among numerous other problems. Note that there are allegations that the email server was possibly already hacked in 2013. (Note: Mrs. Clinton plans on Giving a press conference to the public today on the issue.)

    No, this is the typical political BS where it's getting attention - so let's fix all the problems, get it rescanned, and then pretend it wasn't horribly insecure for all the time prior to today.

    Now there's no excuse. The NSA should definitely have backups of those emails. Crisis averted everyone.

    Bill did the same thing a few times. Of course the women were wearing the dresses when he demanded they be removed from his sight.

    Did not violate any rules regarding email retention - rules were created after. Did what every other Secretary of State did in regards to email. Bush was president - so no, Hillary is not a bad choice.

    Clearly this logic explains how Obama got elected. Twice.

    Obviously we only measure our leaders on their ability to circumvent laws, not enforce them. She got an A rating.

    What about those with a last name and no first? Teller? First president who won't utter a lie?
