Hacker Guccifer Claims He Easily and Repeatedly Broke Into Hillary Clinton's Email Server (foxnews.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fox News: The infamous Romanian hacker known as "Guccifer," speaking exclusively with Fox News, claimed he easily -- and repeatedly -- breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's personal email server in early 2013. In the process of mining data from the Blumenthal account, Lazar said he came across evidence that others were on the Clinton server. "As far as I remember, yes, there were up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world," he said. From the report: "'For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody,' Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker 'Guccifer,' told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held. Fox News could not independently confirm Lazar's claims. The 44-year-old Lazar said he first compromised Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal's AOL account, in March 2013, and used that as a stepping stone to the Clinton server. He said he accessed Clintonâ(TM)s server 'like twice,' though he described the contents as 'not interest[ing]' to him at the time." Guccifer was sent to prison last month, which is when his potential role in the Clinton email investigation became apparent.
Don't post stories to the front page if they don't have any comments. It makes it impossible to comment unless you find the story in the FireHose and go through there.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
Anyone who knows anything about security knows this:
This is one of the highest profile people in the world, in a seat of power very close to the pinnacle of the global power elite (The US Secretary of State). When any server is left unsecured, one must assume the information in it was accessed from a security perspective. When THIS server is unsecured? There is absolutely no chance it wasn't "breached" 100's of times. No chance. The Russians. The Chinese. Literally everyone that matters was in there.
To even for a moment doubt that is to posit a very fringe assumption.
I don't recall any proof that this server was completely without security or updates. If the FBI or whoever wants to release a VM with an image, less the classified emails, then we might be able to figure something out. If you have more than guesses and such then please site them. To be honest, I could give a damn less if Clinton did a crappy job of email security. She no doubt has learned that lesson, and even if she hasn't. Her next job is not going to allow her to even consider a similar situation.
Seriously folks, why are we still bitching about email security? The choice is between Clinton and someone who would make the worst used car salesman blush. Trump has no redeemable qualities. He says one thing, then ten minutes later contradicts himself. Hell, most politicians keep the promises they make, or at least try. Trump doesn't even admit to what he said yesterday, or even admit that half the crap he shovels is utter unworkable nonsense, and he knows it.
Then again, a Trump presidency is bound to benefit someone. Maybe there are a bunch of foreign interests who want to see the American system of government implode. I doubt even Trump could manage it, but they might figure it is worth a shot to encourage from the shadows.
Actually, is there a religion that doesn't oppress women?
My neighbors are Buddhist, and they have invited me to go to potluck dinners at their temple many times. While I was there, I didn't notice any women being oppressed.
The U.S. will not be destroyed if trump becomes president. Most of the establishment republicans and practically all democrats dislike him. He will need support from congress to do anything so only the crap they agree with will get done. I expect executive orders and such that are disagreeable to be overwritten by law too. The democrats will likely join the establishment republicans and override any vetoes.
The worst that could happen is people in other countries get pissed off. But that seems to be the new normal anyways ever since the first gulf war and the DMCA. So who cares?
