Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org)

Jim Efaw writes: Hillary Clinton's home servers had more than just the e-mail ports open directly to the Internet. The Associated Press discovered, by using scanning results from 2012 "widely available online", that the clintonemail.com server also had the RDP port open; another machine on her network had the VNC port open, and another one had a web server open even though it didn't appear to be configured for a real site. Clinton previously said that her server featured "numerous safeguards," but hasn't explained what that means. Apparently, requiring a VPN wasn't one of them.

    Some of the numerous security technologies employed include "theater" and "through obscurity".

    Like that matters..... Just imagine classified information flying around the internet, getting relayed though who knows how many mail servers.... What difference does it make?

    But don't you realize that leaving a port open on her home server makes her history's greatest monster? Clearly, you're not paying attention to the GOP debates.
