why Clinton's Private Email Server Was Such a Security Fail

For a secretary of state, running your own email server might be a clever—if controversial—way to keep your conversations hidden from journalists and their pesky Freedom of Information Act requests. But ask a few security experts, and the consensus is that it's not a very smart way to keep those conversations hidden from hackers.
On Monday, the New York Times revealed that former secretary of state and future presidential candidate Hillary Clinton used a private email account rather than her official State.gov email address while serving in the State Department. And this was no Gmail or Yahoo! Mail account: On Wednesday the AP reported that Clinton actually ran a private mail server in her home during her entire tenure leading the State Department, hosting her email at the domain Clintonemail.com.
Much of the criticism of that in-house email strategy has centered on its violation of the federal government's record-keeping and transparency rules. But as the controversy continues to swirl, the security community is focused on a different issue: the possibility that an unofficial, unprotected server held the communications of America's top foreign affairs official for four years, leaving all of it potentially vulnerable to state-sponsored hackers.
"Although the American people didn’t know about this, it’s almost certain that foreign intelligence agencies did, just as the NSA knows which Indian and Spanish officials use Gmail and Yahoo accounts," says Chris Soghoian, the lead technologist for the American Civil Liberties Union. "She’s not the first official to use private email and not the last. But there are serious security issue associated with these kinds of services...When you build your house outside the security fence, you’re on your own, and that’s what seems to have happened here."
The most obvious security issue with Clinton running her own email server, says Soghoian, is the lack of manpower overseeing it compared with the State Department's official email system. The federal agency's own IT security team monitors State Department servers for possible vulnerabilities and breaches, and those computers fall under the NSA's protection, too. Since 2008, for instance, the so-called Einstein project has functioned as an umbrella intrusion-detection system for more than a dozen federal agencies; Though it's run by the Department of Homeland Security, it uses NSA data and vulnerability-detection methods.
Clinton's email wouldn't have the benefit of any of that expensive government security. If she had hosted her email with Google or even Yahoo! or Microsoft, there might be an argument that those private companies' security teams are just as competent as the those of the feds. But instead, according to the Associated Press, Clinton ran her server

"You think there isn’t a cabal or so called republicans that don’t want to bring Trump down?"
Do you mean Pence, Ryan, McConnell, Sessions, Mnuchin, Chao, Carson, Devos, Mulvaney, Pruitt, Haley, Perry, Nunes, Kushner, Hucksterbee, Conway, ?????
Just who are these Republicans that have joined a "cabal" that you speak so lightly of? Got names? Got Proof? Got facts?

It is the illuminatti. helped by the Knights Templar.
Cyber crime is really a big issue now a days. I faced many problem when my company website software was attack by hacker. The best solution to saved your infromation or oganization from such attacks is to get a certificate of ISO 27001. it will really help you and its will identify all your security issues.
