While the Secretary was cleared to use all three, she refused to use computers, so she didn't have a SCIF with a terminal in her private residence as most senior officials do, and she pointedly refused the secure DOS smart phone offered to her on day one.

When NSA refused to give her a half dozen clones of the President's phone in late January, 2009, she consulted her lawyer, and had her Blackberry connected to the uncertified Clintonemail.com server set up in her basement. That left her totally reliant on her unsecure Blackberry to issue instructions and receive information, which required this crazy high side-low side work-around by State to contact her. Unfortunately, her held-held remained connected to her private server, which remained unsecure for the rest of her term in office. She was aware that the server and the phone were unsecure, but carried out classified communications across it, anyway.

That was what the Espionage Act terms "gross negligence," which means she violate 18 USC Sec. 793(f), a felony.
