Beest Sent Dozens Of Emails On Her BlackBerry From Russia And China, Raising Risk Profile
[Daily Caller] Hillary Clinton sent at least three dozen emails during seven different trips to China, Vietnam and Russia as secretary of state, a Daily Caller investigation reveals.
The risk would have been even greater if Clinton failed to use what’s known as a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, a so-called "middleware" program that encrypts emails and other information, says Stephen Perciballi, a cyber security expert who formerly worked for BlackBerry retailer Softchoice. If she did not, "it puts her at more risk," Perciballi told TheDC. It is unclear how Clinton’s server was configured. The device, which is now in the FBI’s possession, was kept at Clinton’s home in New York during her tenure at State. It was managed by former State Department IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. "Was that server just sitting there wide open, sitting on her Comcast cable connection?" Perciballi asked. "We don’t know, and that’s really the problem." "Is she building up a fortress of security in her basement? The sheer fact that she did something as irresponsible as this with her work email, I’m guessing no." The State Department declined to tell TheDC if Clinton utilized a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. From a 'damage assessment' standpoint, one must assume the worst and plan accordingly. "There are reviews and inquiries looking into this matter generally and we are not going to get ahead of that," agency spokesman John Kirby told TheDC. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-03-17 |
