Zax,
So you believe what appears to be the article's assertion, that the Russians read the WIFI signals inside the White House from over on the roof of their embassy, have cracked WEP2 standard, and read Hillary's e-mails? Is it your feeling that the AES standard used with WEP2 has been broken?
No one brute-forces AES or WEP2. (WEP1 is crackable, though.)

Hackers NEVER take on the security standards directly. Instead, they find ways around them.

I already explained why this matters from an information security point-of-view:

Message 30228835
To me, however, the issue I care about the most is how her personal e-mail server represented a security vulnerability. IT departments like to keep control over which hardware and software is being used for good reason. They need to meet standards of security, and it's easier to do so when the hardware and software is more uniform across their organization. The minute you allow people to download their own software, use their own hardware, or set up their own e-mail servers, you are introducing potential vulnerabilities in information security. These vulnerabilities can be subtle, like a simple text-parsing routine that runs a nanosecond longer for different password lengths, but hackers can and will exploit them.
The fact that thousands of her e-mails actually contained classified information is only icing on the cake.

No one had to crack any wifi security to get to her email.

It was stored on an antiquated, unpatched email server in her closet without any significant security monitoring at all.

I defy you to produce one legitimate network expert who believes that email was secure. It is hard enough to secure it when you know what you're doing. Sticking the machine in a closet with no ongoing support was utterly stupid, astoundingly stupid and dangerous.

WIFI had nothing to do with it.

‘Even half-drunk the SVR could get those emails, and they probably couldn’t believe how easy Hillary made it for them.’

Please. Tell me all about it, you airhead moron.

Is that another personal attack from a loser that can't show any facts or intelligent responses? Why are you such a loser zax, and ALWAYS resort to personal attacks when your tiny brain can't handle a discussion?

BTW, personal attacks and name calling is not allowed here. Maybe somebody can explain that to you.
