Im sure none of Trumps staff knows much about technology, theyll probably start deleting things. If law enforcement can get the physical server theyll be able to recover everything

(18,690 posts)I know nothing about this type of technology. Is it in a "box" or a cloud? One box or a network? Could someone on our side have copies? Can you print these documents out? I wish someone on MSNBC or CNN could get an expert to discuss the technological aspect.

(5,932 posts)It's a government server that holds especially secret information (a compartmented segment of Top Secret referred to as 'codeword'...essentially 'above Top Secret'). No need to 'crack' it.
By putting stuff on it that did not fall into the Codeword category, Dumb Donnie was once again breaking every rule in the book about handling classified information.

(6,669 posts)It is all backed up on the cloud which means all the info is spread across multiple servers, in multiple locations, and constantly re-encrypted. it can't be removed but it can be accessed.

(14,162 posts)Ususally multi layered or re-encryption actually makes the process less stealthy. It leaves a portion of the encrypted data less random. Those bits can make cracking easier. Just sayin. I won't even discuss cloud storage.
