A Chinese-owned company penetrated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private server

2018-08-28

The company inserted code that forwarded copies of Clinton emails to the Chinese company in real time.

[Daily Caller] The Intelligence Community Inspector General warned of the problem, but the FBI subsequently failed to act, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert said during a July hearing.

The Chinese firm obtained Clinton’s emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server, according to the sources, who said the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation.

The Chinese wrote code that was embedded in the server, which was kept in Clinton’s residence in upstate New York. The code generated an instant "courtesy copy" for nearly all of her emails and forwarded them to the Chinese company, according to the sources.

For $7,000 or so our staff could have hired a half dozen Linux monkeys and hacker her closet server in under an hour. I doubt the ChiComs paid that much. NSA must have been inside too.

#8 How's this for a coincidence:
China 'dismantled' CIA spying operations and killed sources – report

"The Chinese government “systematically dismantled” CIA spying operations in the country starting in late 2010 and killed or imprisoned at least a dozen CIA sources over the next two years, it was reported on Saturday."

#6 #5 well put. "Actually, the only real question is whether these people are ignorant or worse than ignorant". Perhaps show me the money.

#5 In my experience as a computer system administrator, monitoring the logs every single day, I can tell you the Chinese are by far the most prolific hackers. The Russians are a distant second. Obama had eight years to do something about it and he failed. Bush had eight years before that and he too failed. So to blame the hacking of the DNC email server on Trump and the Russians is...disingenuous at best. Further, anyone who administers such a server and fails to acknowledge the risk, fails to take defensive measure and fails to harden the server against such attacks should be fired. But then, I have also witnessed people in senior management positions, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is an example, who don't know what they don't know about these things and won't listen to people who do know. Obama in particular should have known about the Chinese. I'd like to believe that Bush and Obama fell into this category as well but I can't help thinking they might have been complicit. Of course, there is always the deep, dark suspicion that little Debbie was complicit with her Paki friends too. Actually, the only real question is whether these people are ignorant or worse than ignorant.

#4 Penetrated her server? She might as well had an "Open for business" sign on her server for anyone who was willing to pay the price for admission.

#3 Please do NOT put the word "penetrated" in the same sentence with "Hillary Clinton."

#1 The intelligence officer declined to name of the Chinese company.

“We do know the name of the company. There are indications there are other ‘cutouts’ that were involved. I would be in a lot of trouble if I gave you the name,” he told TheDCNF.

"Other cutouts"....The Paki Awan bros? A sitting president possibly ?

Or perhaps the "Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C." (snicker, snicker) wasn't actually a Chinese Company, but rather a clandestine monitoring and distribution/dissemination network. Can't pin everything on the bloody Russians now can we ?

She was obviously a 'control' problem and refused (or was instructed not) to utilize the .gov system, how else could she have been monitored ?
