Hackers, probing Clinton server, cite security lapses

Could someone catch the hop if they did that? Also wouldn't that be even more suspicious?

in order for the server to function, dns records need to be updated if the ip address of the server changes or else mail won't reach its intended recipient

it's not at all unusual for servers to be backed up to remote locations
once there the data can be used to re-create a server, effectively moving the server if you should desire

Bull****, because her official emails are probably still on there. Stop making excuses, you don't have a leg to stand on and you know it. I'm surprised at you.

What? Who knew that .gov server could be security deficient?

State Department Toughens Up Computer Network Against Cyber Threats : PERSONAL TECH : Tech Times
The latest Federal Information Security Management report reveals the State Department has one of the lowest cybersecurity assessment scores among all federal agencies, sharing the dishonor with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.​

:shrug:

It's not a foregone conclusion that Clinton's security was worse.

ymmv

It's also quite irrelevant, because policy dictated that she should have done. All govt employees are support to use govt systems.

So we're off the argument that her server was necessarily less secure?

We're back to talking about what the rules at the tim were?

The security level of her server has always been your thing, and whether it was more secure or not is irrelevent because Hillary doesn't enough brains on the matter to distinguish whether it was or not, and it obviously was not her motivation anyway. If security had been her motivation then she was criminally negligent as Sec State to not have improve the security of the govt systems she was in charge of, and ought to be charged with that negligence as well. But since we know the truth, we know she was just skirting the system so there'd be minimum records to be requested for any future hearings, we can let that charge go. She broke standard policy, and that bull**** about multiple phones is bull****, because her personal inconvenience in having to use two phones is not my concern. That's just tough ****.
 
If properly setup and monitored Clinton's e-mail server could likely have been even more secure than that of the state department because it is an isolated device that serves only one purpose.

When you have a large network involving many different functions and resources it provides multiple avenues of attack. A singular e-mail server could be locked down quite nicely.

You've been arguing the point that her server was more secure than the State Dept, without knowing anything about it. People are hacking into it, and you're over there "Well the state dept's systems blah blah blah" <<<<< makes it okay to circumvent official govt policy and have a private server in Bill Clinton's Harlem office. She's lying and cheating like hell, and YOU'RE DEFENDING HER. Dump the Conservative lean for one thing, you're not only not critical, you're not even neutral.........you acting like a shill for the Hillary camp. She's a goddamn liar, and you know it. In fact I think you owe me and every other person in this thread an apology for trying to sell this bull****. I'm done with you dude, you're just dead ****ing wrong and don't want to admit it.

Not at all what I said, actually.
Though I believe that you may think that is what I posted.

I said that knowing Clinton's e-mail server is insecure does not mean that Clinton's server was less secure than State's server.
I said that we would also have to have information about State's server.
I said that to compare the two sets of information before we would need to have both sets of information.

I did not comment on this.

Actually, just pointing out the deficit of information.
Pointing out that you have not made a complete argument is not the same as defending what you are arguing against.
