Clinton server software increased risk of attack – El Nuevo Herald

The server private email that Hillary Rodham Clinton was in the basement of his house and he used when he was secretary of state was connected to the Internet in ways that increased their vulnerability to hackers and used software that may have been tampered with easily, according to The Associated Press reviewed documents.

Clinton server which managed staff and the State Department correspondence apparently openly allowed users to connect the Internet to control it remotely, according to data compiled in 2012.

Experts say that the service of Microsoft Remote Desktop was not intended for this use without additionally protection measures and that at that time was subject to government warnings US and industry about possible attacks, including low-skilled hackers.

The records show that Clinton also ran two other devices in the network from his home in Chappaqua, New York, which also He could be accessed directly from the Internet. One contained a software-like remote control that also suffered vulnerabilities and the other was apparently set to operate websites.

The new details provide the first clues on how the computer Clinton, operating on a server of Microsoft, it was installed and protected when she used it only for four years as secretary of state for all work posts. The private consultant Clinton in technology, Bryan Pagliano, has refused to answer questions from investigators about their legislative work, citing the Fifth Amendment constitutional protection against self-incrimination.

Some of the emails in the Clinton server after hundreds turned out to be more contained top secret and confidential or sensitive information. The exfuncionaria has said that his server had “numerous safeguards,” but has yet to explain how well the system was insured and if, or how often, receive security software updates.

From the beginning the controversy, Clinton has apologized for having used a private server. On Sunday, President Barack Obama said in an interview on “60 Minutes” that “it was a mistake.” The president said that national security was not at risk, although the FBI has yet to complete the revision Clinton server to look for traces of intruders.

On Monday, Brian Fallon, spokesman for the Democratic presidential candidate, said: “This report, like its predecessors, has no evidence that in reality there is a leak, stop pointing specifically to Hillary Clinton. The Justice Department is reviewing the security server and we are cooperating fully.”
