Pretty soon they won't even be trying with phones; they'll just tap the Internet of Things as a vector.
The Berkman report is pretty interesting reading and points out thatdevice encryption can be frustrating, but there's still no default for end-to-end encrypted communication, metadata is plaintext by necessity, and the security of the IoT is something that too few people have worried about.

"Global warming":"Climate change"::"Comcast":"Xfinity" and for exactly the same reason.
Politics, dogma, and money have replaced science in this field. When people start spouting "the science is settled" and getting misty while considering how to criminalize "deniers," you really do need to stop research. Otherwise, new data and models might reveal, "Oops! Never mind! We're gonna be fine after all, folks!" thus threatening the elites' power and money train.
this shows that the correct way to send it was attempted several times before resorting to this measure
I know what you're saying, but that doesn't make it okay. If she had said something more along the lines of "Understand you're having issues...send what you can via nonsecure," (meaning "just send me the unclassified stuff") then that's a different story. She didn't. She told her aide to deliberately remove all classification markings, which is an illegal order by itself. We do only have the one email to go by and after seeing her in action in the 90's, I freely admit my bias in being more inclined to believe the worst. YMMV.
When stuff is classified, it's marked not only on the top and bottom of documents (and in email headers) but every paragraph in the document starts with marking to further identify what's classified (called "portion marking"). You'd see a "(S)" for Secret for example, so when she says to remove the markings, she's not talking about just an email header.
It's still to be determined if she knowingly sent or received classified info via the personal e-mail server.
I'm leaning toward disagree (again, biased) because at the SCI level, you're briefed as to exactly what is classified. I find it incredibly hard to believe that she would see SCI stuff and not recognize it or at least be curious enough to ask the question. She is not a newbie bureaucrat; she sat on the Senate Armed Services committee as well as the Subcommittee for Emerging Threats and Capabilities. That is sensitive stuff and she knows better.
the government's system WAS hacked
Only on the unclassified network, not SIPR or JWICS (classified networks). It's an important distinction because SIPR and JWICS have more protection than the unclassified side.
superiors would ask for info via a certain system that is only for classified info, so they gave that info a classified heading just to send it the way their superior preferred, not because it was actually classified.
Yup. I do this all the time. Network classification means that it's rated UP TO that classification and goes back to my comment about portion marking; a Secret document can (and usually does) have unclassified or Confidential information in it along with the Secret. There's nothing wrong with this, as long as the information is equal to or less than the rating of the system. I hope that answers your questions!
Quite irrelevant. Federal law is pretty specific on the handling of classified information and people dying is not required to be charged. Remember, the server IS the smoking gun.
I didn't say she didn't do anything. I said, "Her intent...was to keep as much as possible from being subject to FOIA requests." Please try reading for comprehension.
There's at least three different networks: "NIPR" for unclassified, general internet usage; "SIPR" for stuff classified up to Secret, and "JWICS" for some (but not all) TS/SCI. It is very difficult to electronically (e.g. send email) from one network to another and usually requires a second reader (who is outside the organization) to scour and approve/deny the shift. However, there is very little that can be done to prevent someone from manually typing information to circumvent the system.
TS is the highest level of classification. SCI (aka Codeword) and SAP provide critical control measures for classified material; it's not a classification in and of itself. Please don't call it trolling when you have no idea what you're talking about. Also, we mere mortals with clearances, particularly those with SCI access, routinely quake in our boots because if we screw up, we *will* go to jail.
Well, it's not the Republicans investigating, it's the FBI, and Director Comey is one of the most non-partisan guys around (he threatened to resign if Bush continued his domestic spying program).
Her intent was not to "get shit done", it was to keep as much as possible from being subject to FOIA requests; remember that she directed at least one aide to circumvent classified channels by manually retyping classified information, stripping it of its classification markings, and sending over the internet. And are you seriously suggesting that it's okay because there's "no evidence anything was leaked"? Because the fact that it was on a non-secure server IS evidence that it was leaked.
Lots of people (including Slashdot) should advocate this as well. If encryption is the bee's knees on the internet and on cell phones, then it should be awesome for radios as well.
Yeah, the tacticool market is up there with audiophiles...it's a hobby where there's plenty of affordable offerings and a lot of ridiculous snake oil. A Trijicon ACOG scope will run about $1300 by itself, to say nothing of custom compensators, bolt carrier groups, and charging handles. and that's just the beginning. These guys probably bought the $1000-1500 Rock River Arms then bolted on a bunch of aftermarket parts. Of course, it is equally possible they went boutique and nabbed a Daniel Defense rifle.

Well yeah, the Internet Outrage Machine generates clicks and income. An article about an obscure Linux kernel? Not so much.

Celebrities have been doing that since the 70's. I'm sure the Goracle and DiCaprio will keep us informed from their private jets.

If you don't want the Times, fine. How about CNN?
And Bill routinely chose literally any woman other than Hillary. Shouldn't the voters feel the same way?
Who got killed? When was it hacked?

Which is controlled by the Republicans.
The State Department is controlled by Republicans? Put down the bong, step away from the keyboard, and let the grownups talk.

Correct. She "did not receive or send e-mails marked classified" because she directed her aides to strip all the markings and send it via non-secure means.
