Romanian hacker Guccifer: I breached Clinton server, 'it was easy'
2016-05-05
The infamous Romanian hacker known as “Guccifer,” speaking exclusively with Fox News, claimed he easily – and repeatedly – breached former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s personal email server in early 2013.

"For me, it was easy ... easy for me, for everybody," Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News from a Virginia jail where he is being held.

#11  Like going to go buy a car, shooting a lower price, and being able to hear the conversation between the sales/wo/man and the manager and a COGS sheet.

#10  The one Sidney Blumenthal e-mail that I remember seeing last year was clearly a TS note. It referenced sources...and definitely gave targets to the counter intel folks on the other side. Clinton and Blumenthal are clearly incompetent and thru their incompetence and laziness sources lives were put in danger and further...suppressed any other sources from signing up. Lives were most likely lost and valuable intel most definitely lost. All because dumbazz Clinton is too arrogant and lazy to walk into a SCIF or log on to a SECRET machine.

#7  So why has nothing come out?

Maybe because the Russians, Chinese, et al are equally stunned that Trump is the Trunk nominee. Their info was only useful to manipulate or ruin Hillary up to the election. That has very little use if the alternative may be someone they fear or just want to avoid far more than the compromised Clinton Inc.

#6  Besoeker, what you say makes perfect sense for hackers with agendas, like state intelligence agencies, but not for the publicity hound hackers like Guccifer - of whom there are probably many. I have since seen claims that the server was not 'easily' hacked for very long, and the later security level was only vulnerable to the more skilled hackers.

Excellent question! Releasing data confirms a compromise or leak. Leaks confirmed tend to be quickly plugged. The release can also produce an audit trail and provide insights into one's interest in particular areas or topics. Some things are simply better memory holed, but not forgotten.

#4  If it was easy to hack, then it was hacked, multiple times. If there was anything 'interesting' on it, it would have been seen. So why has nothing come out?

#3  I know where this sick destruction of our Intel came from and it starts with that scumwhore obama and all of his HORRIBLE minions from hell.

The seeds were sown a bit earlier, but the Champ and his Pentagon sycophants took it to entirely new levels.

In the final analysis, foreign or hostile compromise MUST be assumed. The sooner this happens, the sooner damage assessments and corrective measures can be undertaken.

One piece that seems to never get discussed; our allies have 'hacking capabilities' as well. No warnings or cautions from them I take it? Alright, believe that if you will.

#2  As well as saying he saw evidence others were there... makes this something confirmed on my TL for a long time. Others had these agent names and positions.

If I find out that the Pizza Hut was infil because of this horrible Bitch, which I suspect is true, then I will want her in fron of firing squad.

I know where this sick destruction of our Intel came from and it starts with that scumwhore obama and all of his HORRIBLE minions from hell.

Mark my words: Hillary got OUR MEN murdered and that piece of shit should never be charged with anything again but a prison laundry room/

TRY ME.
I will fucking destroy this place for less.
