Some indictments should be in order or we truly live in an era of decadence and deceit like few others in our past.
1) Breathlessly reporting that this-or-that vulnerability existed on the server is fine, but distracts from the main issue, to wit: why did Grandma Nixon subvert the existing protocol? There is only one reason she would have done so: so that nefarious practices could remain undetected -- or what amounts to the same thing based on what we know about Hillary's standard past practice -- unusable by law enforcement.
2) Take it as a given that the number of people who attacked her server was probably quite large. So what then? The first people who should have known, or suspected these practices were in signal intelligence, particularly the NSA. Why did NSA not patch her server without the knowledge of her IT people? That is certainly within their capability, and based on this article it seems likely her IT crew would never have been any wiser. Is this another example of "interviewed the guy twice, had numerous reports of murderous intent including a heads-up from a gun dealer, but 'somehow' he managed to slip through the cracks to shoot a hundred people?"
NSA had numerous requests from State to supply Her Thighness with "special" equipment because she was so inept. Did they really do nothing while all this was going on?
Of course she did - that was the POINT.
Otherwise, what would she have had to sell?
1. The degree of security is inversely proportional to the degree of convenience, so given that Crooked Hillary was unable to even power on a desktop PC, I’d say security had to be pretty lax even under the best of circumstances, just so that screeching harridan could manage to read her email.
2. If the email server was a Windows box, then just forget about security all together as Windows is almost impossible to fully secure even by very knowledgeable professionals.
[As an aside, I’d LOVE to see a comedy sketch in which an Indian scam artist claiming to be from Microsoft calls Hillary and convinces her that her email server has been detected leaking viruses all over the place and then proceeds to lead her down an obvious path where the scamster uploads all of her email: something to the effect, “Oh I think I see the problem; it’s that .pst file right there; and it looks infected to me so I’ll have to copy it to my own server to properly analyze it, and oh, what was your email password again, because I’ll need that too for proper virus detection.]
The features were not disabled on Clinton’s server, it’s was the State Dept servers that had security disabled!
If she skates on this, it's over for the country as every court in the country will say, "Well, Hillary got away with it!" The precedent will have horrible long term consequences. It will green light corruption and pay-for-play at every level of government. The beginning of the end. . .
Mr. Comey, I know your working on it but can you just give us a progress report? Even if you had a press conference and said something like, "You know folks, I'm working on two areas with Hillary Clinton. The email/server issue is about done and I'll be making recommendation to AG Lynch soon. The tentacles and permutations with the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative are way more involved than we initially thought. I can't give you a time-line on that."
For those who say we only have one shot at the Queen, I say why can't they be two totally different cases? I've heard scuttlebutt that the email/server investigation is basically done. Feedback from our legal beagles please on whether or not they can be two separate cases with the AG or are they hopelessly intertwined and we do indeed only have one case with the Queen.
Mr. Comey, please heed the cogent words of Jacquerie: If Hillary skates after taking bribes, and committing treason and espionage it will establish the precedent of unpunished high crimes and felonies for untouchable senior politicians. Say adios to the rule of law and the remains of our republic.
Mr. Comey, please do the right thing and make history. . Millions of Americans will back you.
Just a guess. The hackers got in and then disabled them. Tech minded Freepers would know.
If Hillary had used her official .gov email address, none of this would have been necessary.
I DID a search before I posted my thread, the the OP of this thread altered the headline from AP in violation of FR rules.
When I searched, nothing was returned.
And besides, THIS headline obfuscates the real issue.
Client computer, not server. The article gives no useful details on the server. But servers have many other vulnerabilties particularly email servers and web servers.
read somewhere there were ‘phishing’ attacks
on HRC’s server.
yes or no, a phishing attack usually has
a malicious attachment?
were any of these emails opened?
was the compete email, inc attachments if any
sent over to judicialwatch.
does the FBI have complete records of all this,
or was some of this stuff erased/wiped?
was all evidence properly retained?
please be specific if you can be.
don’t just say Hillary is a PoS,
I already know that.

Well, suh-prize suh-prize!!! (not)
But that was SOOOO long ago, what difference does it make?? /sar/
EODGUY
The cleverly worded AP Update at the bottom of the text in the body of this thread seems to be designed to make it seem that nothing went on with Clinton's server.Emails: State Dept. scrambled on trouble on Clinton's server
Days after the technical crisis, on Jan. 9, 2011, an IT worker was forced to shut down Clinton's server because he believed "someone was trying to hack us." Later that day, he wrote, "We were attacked again so I shut (the server) down for a few min." It was one of several occasions when email access to Clinton's BlackBerry smartphone was disrupted because her private server was down, according to the documents.
The AP reported last year that in the early morning hours of Aug. 3, 2011, Clinton received infected emails, disguised as speeding tickets from New York. The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets. Opening an attachment would have allowed hackers to take over control of a victim's computer.
after reading something at Hotair.com
.
my alternate explanation...
Hillary’s account became infected.
when she sent people at state.gov, an email,
it was tagged as suspicious, and the intended recipient didn’t read it.
and the filters at state.gov had to be loosened
