Russian Hackers Tried 5 Times to Break Into Hillary’s Home ServerRussia-linked hackers tried at least five times to pry into Hillary Rodham Clinton's private email account while she was US secretary of state, emails released Wednesday show.
It is unclear, however, if she clicked on any attachment and exposed her account.
Clinton received the infected emails, disguised as speeding tickets, over four hours early on the morning of August 3, 2011.
The emails instructed recipients to print the attached tickets, which would have allowed hackers to take control of their computers.
Security researchers who analyzed the malicious software in September 2011 said that infected computers would transmit information from victims to at least three server computers overseas, including one in Russia.
But that doesn't necessarily mean Russian intelligence or citizens were responsible.
Clinton has said repeatedly that the unusual homebrew server she used was secure.
But the phishing attempts highlight the risk of Clinton's unsecure email being pried open by foreign intelligence agencies, even if others also received the virus concealed as a speeding ticket from Chatham, New York. The email misspelled the name of the city, came from a supposed New York City government account and contained a "Ticket.zip" file that would have been a red flag.
Most commercial antivirus software at the time would have detected the software, identified it as dangerous and prevented users from infecting themselves. It was unclear if the State Department's network security would have flagged the infected message, or what precautions were in place protecting Clinton's server in the basement of her home in Chappaqua.

"Most of the world did not know the server existed until a few months ago.
The Russians knew about it." Of course they knew about it and these sorts of phising attempts are amateur-hour stuff. high level russian and chinese espionage agents wouldn't send phising e-mails, they'd gain access through other means.
and I find it laughable that hillary keeps saying it was secure. this is the same idiot that said she didn't know how this stuff works when asked about wiping the server. I'll agree, it is likely she knows little, if anything, about high level cyber security, making her unfit to make such an assessment; and I doubt her closet custodian could hold a candle to those in the upper tiers of governement tasked with this sort of security. His primary qualification was likely that he'd do anything to kiss her ass, hoping for some crumbs to fall from her cooter.
who is to say the closet man didn't grab files? he had access. what is his clearance? what were the security protocols to prevent this sort of physical on-site grab that are in place at high level organizations.
I'm going to bet next to none. Where is the handbook of security protocols that is in place at these sorts of places? I'd love to see it.
This is a total shit show of the highest order. From a strict security standpoint from what I've seen so far, there was none. Dumb bitch might as well have been using a local cyber cafe.
