Security farce at 'data fortress' that held Clinton's emails
2015-10-13
  • Datto Inc has been revealed to have stored Hillary Clinton's emails - which contained national secrets - when it backed up her private server

  • It claims it runs 'data fortresses', monitored by security 24 hours a day, where only a retinal or palm scan allows access to its facilities

  • But its building in Bern Township, Pennsylvania, is not surrounded by a perimeter fence, has no security checkpoints and two reception areas

    #1  For the umpteenth time: to hack a computer connected to the internet, YOU DO NOT NEED PHYSICAL ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER. You could have a computer in the most secure location in the world, and as long as it has a connection to the Internet, is is potentially vulnerable to hacking.
