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
Dumpsters at the site were left open and unguarded and loading bays have no security presence
As usual, British newspapers do the reporting that American papers won't do...

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.

Successfully protected the 'process' at least until the Platte River folks began to talk.

True enough Rambler, but physical access gives one a whole host of options...

Data fortress? It was probably an MS Exchange server. Maybe with all the patches. Maybe. Two minutes with Kali Linux -- if you were using it for the first time.
[VANITYFAIR] After some banter over the thermostat and the traditional One Weird Fact about Clinton ("The weirdest thing about me is that I don't sweat"), BuzzFeed foolishly suggested that Clinton was a robot.
BuzzFeed, you fools! You don't go around provoking dangerous artificial intelligence!
HILLARY CLINTON: You guys are the first to realize that I'm really not even a human being. I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto a very long time ago. People think that, you know, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, they created it. Oh no. I mean, a man whose name shall remain nameless created me in his garage.
ANOTHER ROUND: Are there more of you?
HILLARY CLINTON: I thought he threw away the plans, at least that's what he told me when he programmed me -- that there would be no more. I've seen more people that kind of don't sweat, and other things, that make me think maybe they are part of the new race that he created: the robot race.
ANOTHER ROUND: So there's a cyborg army is what you're saying.

They did a Voight-Kamff on her -- she's only a Nexus 2.
Holder: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Hilly: What one?
Holder: What?
Hilly: What desert?
Holder: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.
Hilly: But, how come I'd be there?
Holder: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a woman, Hilly. She's crawling toward you...
Hilly: Woman? What's that?
Holder: [irritated by Hilly's interruptions] You know what a bimbo is?
Hilly: Of course!
Holder: Same thing.
Hilly: I've never seen a woman... But I understand what you mean.
Holder: You reach down and you flip the woman over on her back, Hilly.
Hilly: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holder? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The woman lays on her back, her belly baking in the hot sun, beating her legs trying to turn herself over, but she can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Hilly: [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?
Holder: I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Hilly?
[Hilly has become visibly shaken]
Holder: They're just questions, Hilly. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
