News Flash: Guccifer Hacked Clinton's Illegal Mail Server
Posted by: NBC News ()
Date: May 05, 2016 04:50PM

In an interview that surprised no one, Guccifer acknowledged that he did indeed hack the Clinton email server while it was in the bathroom closet of her NY mansion.

NBC captured the admission on tape, but held on to it until Guccifer was extradited to the US, where he can be kept locked up in jail until after the election.

And he likely left a calling card that the FBI found.

He's lying. He broke into the server as part of the vast right wing conspiracy to get the Clintons. He'd have broken into Bill's server too if he had one.

Professional hackers do not leave calling cards. Script kiddies deal in calling cards and bragging rights.

He wasn't. He's not some 'leet haxor' and has no real 'skilz' beyond knowing how to use basic tools like netcat. Basically, what he did mostly was to just guess the passwords and/or the answers to security questions for password changes and looked for obvious holes like open ftp and web directories that could be browsed.

So what you're saying is that this nobody got in the "secured" Clinton private server? That doesn't make the story better. If this guy is a chump like you say, and he got on there, how many other skilled operators did the same. and covered it up? And then there are the ChiComm to consider, who Hillary probably gave root to. Chinese hackers?? We don't have no Chinese hackers. They all have their own accounts!

Troubling indeed!

"He told Fox he looked up the IP address of Blumenthal's emails to Clinton, and then did a simple web scan and found the server.

After that, he supposedly looked for open ports to exploit. He didn't offer any more detail. There are quite a few more technical steps needed to get access to a private server, as opposed to his past hacks of common email services like AOL and Yahoo.

As The New York Times has noted, Guccifer is no computer expert, operating on a cheap laptop and a cellphone and using tools readily available on the web. Many of his "hacks" were the result of social engineering skill and months of guessing security questions until he got in.

"He was not really a hacker but just a smart guy who was very patient and persistent," Viorel Badea, the Romanian prosecutor who directed the case against him, told The Times."

So the server was obsolete, unpatched, or a Microsoft product. Any of those alternatives is just plain incompetence! Who is the baffoon running her server? Sheesh, he should do time for sheer stupidity.

The server was run by a government employee so you know it was up to date on the latest security patches. Those government employees are top notch at protecting your data.

Oh yeah, thanks OPM for leaking my personal info the Chinese.

Didn't say that it made it any better, but he wasn't some real "hacker. Just a dude with some basic tools and too much free time on his hands.

That said, once her server became known through his hack of Blumenthal, there's a 100% chance that every foreign national intelligence group was on that like flies on shit. And they do have people with real skills who can truly exploit systems. It's already been shown that she was running some out-of-date stuff at the time for which various exploits existed so it's almost certain that they had some level of access.

No one is disturbed that the American Empire can arrest and hold indefinitely, anyone from any country on the planet?

From a legitimate news source:


WASHINGTON — A former aide to Hillary Clinton has turned over to the F.B.I. computer security logs from Mrs. Clinton’s private server, records that showed no evidence of foreign hacking, according to people close to a federal investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s emails.

The security logs bolster Mrs. Clinton’s assertion that her use of a personal email account to conduct State Department business while she was the secretary of state did not put American secrets into the hands of hackers or foreign governments.

The former aide, Bryan Pagliano, began cooperating with federal agents last fall, according to interviews with a federal law enforcement official and others close to the case. Mr. Pagliano described how he set up the server in Mrs. Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, N.Y., and according to two of the people, he provided agents the security logs. The law enforcement official described the interview as routine. Most of those close to the case spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the continuing investigation.

Mrs. Clinton’s work-related emails as secretary of state, which have been made public as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, show that she received spam emails intended to try to lure her into clicking a malicious link. Those emails, known as “spear phishing” attempts, were traced to Russia, but it was not clear from the emails alone whether anyone clicked on those links or whether the security was compromised.

Mr. Pagliano told the agents that nothing in his security logs suggested that any intrusion occurred. Security logs keep track of, among other things, who accessed the network and when. They are not definitive, and forensic experts can sometimes spot sophisticated hacking that is not apparent in the logs, but computer security experts view logs as key documents when detecting hackers.


And:

Neither Fox News or Tech Insider can independently verify Lazar's (Guccifer's) claims. The FBI is in possession of the private email server as it investigates whether its use by Clinton was appropriate while she served as secretary of state.


In other words, take the word of a lame Romanian hacker to create a story that Fox talking heads can hash and rehash with no regard to the actual facts. Note: legitimate news organizations require more than one source for a story. Not Fox.

Independant consultant and former Clinton staff member Brian Pagliano set up Clinton's server, being paid under the table by the Clinton Foundation. He has already testified that he used an obsolete version of Microsoft software and did not apply all the patches to it.

Meanwhile, lone Romanian hacker Lazar/Guccifer was arrested because he successfully hacked AOL, Google, and other email accounts, including Blumenthal's.

If you believe that AOL, Google, etc., are less secure than a home brew server using obsolete unpatched software, then you would believe that Clinton's server was not hackable.

If you believe that the Chinese were not keeping an eye on the Clintons who collected over $300,000,000 from the Chinese for charity, then you would be ok with her having this server in her bathroom closet.

You would also be a complete idiot.

ABC, NBC, and others also talked to him and carried the same story.

Pagliano isn't some kind of computer expert either. He's a dopey former campaign worker. I doubt that he'd even know what to look for in logs. Which typically wouldn't show any intrusions and what might appear is easily scrubbed. Saying that "nothing in his security logs suggested that any intrusion occurred" is not the same as saying that no intrusion occurred. You'd need to be running a more sophisticated IDS and/or something else more than just basic server logs to pick up things like that.

But they didn't even need to target her server directly. She was sending everything in clear text over email for most of that time so everything that was sent and received could have been easily intercepted along the way.

They have a legal doctrine that courts have gone along with that anything that touches the internet has touched america, therefore it is a crime on american soil.

Yes, it bothers me. A lot.

Compromising the security logs is such a basic first step. Besides, it's not a defense to this crime. It doesn't matter if anyone accessed it or not. That's just one thing that would make it worse.

Republicans are pissed because their moles failed to read Hillary's emails while she was Secretary of Defense.

Smart of Hillary to keep her email server hidden from the GOP. Really fucked the GOP over.
