More Clinton emails released, including some she deleted

157. Good lord.

1: I don't know that there are truly any crimes involved.

2: Anyone who understands the bare fundamentals of cybersecurity would recognize the reality that if a U.S. Secretary of State, for four years, was using a private Microsoft Exchange server without digital signatures, or keeping on top of the most current encryption implementations, or using advanced encryption techniques while communicating with ambassadors and high-level staffers, that Secretary of State's emails are just like blood in the water in the midst of shark-infested waters.

Our own NSA likely has most of her emails stored somewhere. The Chinese definitely do - they are (perhaps) second to us in terms of their cyberintelligence capabilities, and there's no way they wouldn't simply snatch up as much as they could gather - it was a computer in a private residence, and they may have gone so far as to implement a straight-up packet sniffer on her line to the ISP. Without adequate security protocols in place to protect TCP/IP communications, especially in a residential setting, they're easily snooped on.

The reality of this is just like the reality of the 'theory of evolution.' Christian fundamentalists like to push the notion that, because it's a 'theory,' it's really meaningless. In reality, it's a theory because not all aspects of human evolution have been established as scientific fact to the extent that the scientific community can say 'this is exactly how it happened from the moment that the earliest member of genus homo can be said to have existed.' The general thrust of the theory is considered scientific fact for just about all purposes.

When blood is in the water and hungry sharks are nearby, sooner or later someone swimming in the area will be bitten.
