Trump's Questionable Server

Althea told me...
This is a long read that most won't wade through. But...With much less credible information, Trump is flapping his jowls in his effort to paint Clinton as guilty.

Well, Mr. Trump, it seems you have a rather questionable server of your own. What started as a 'white hat' program aimed at protecting the U.S from Russian hacks, ended up uncovering some interesting information.

In late July, one of these scientists—who asked to be referred to as Tea Leaves, a pseudonym that would protect his relationship with the networks and banks that employ him to sift their data—found what looked like malware emanating from Russia. The destination domain had Trump in its name, which of course attracted Tea Leaves’ attention. But his discovery of the data was pure happenstance—a surprising needle in a large haystack of DNS lookups on his screen. “I have an outlier here that connects to Russia in a strange way,” he wrote in his notes. He couldn’t quite figure it out at first. But what he saw was a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue.

What the scientists amassed wasn’t a smoking gun. It’s a suggestive body of evidence that doesn’t absolutely preclude alternative explanations. But this evidence arrives in the broader context of the campaign and everything else that has come to light: The efforts of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager to bring Ukraine into Vladimir Putin’s orbit; the other Trump adviser whose communications with senior Russian officials have worried intelligence officials; the Russian hacking of the DNC and John Podesta’s email.

FBI says there is nothing to is. But yeah I can see why you think his server is the same thing.

It is funny that lefties have already turned into McCarthyites seeing commies behind every corner. Althea the 1980s called. They want their foreign policy back

You have a citation of the FBI saying that?

You didn't read the piece...as expected. FBI isn't involved in this
 
is Trump a target of a criminal investigation here? Does he have any exposure?

What does this have to do with being negligent of gov't secrets?

The answers are No, No and Nothing

Between the Comey announcement and early voting trending against Crooked Hillary they are in full on panic mode.

They are throwing everything they can against the wall. Carville's meltdown yesterday should tell you everything you need to know about where the Clinton campaign thinks the state of the race is

Carville had a meltdown?

The answers are yes, yes, and Hillary wasn't negligent either so why the false comparison?

Now I realize the above is a right wing source so you will have to forgive me. Do you want to ask Rana to delete this thread now or later?

Hey...Don't apologize. Sometimes, you just have to dig deeper than the readily available information.

If you don't want to read the link....don't. You can remain uninformed. We've actually come to expect it here.

Now...you posted an article that referenced the NYT reporting about the server that is connected to Alfa bank. The FBI glossed over that, and righfully so, made the same comment that the cyber experts in my article did.

However, it was what happened after Trump was aware that the server was under scrutiny that is pertinent here.

Something the FBI is not interested in....evidently.

Don't feel as if you are required to comment in this thread. You are a bit behind the times (no pun intended). We can wait for you to get caught up if you want.

I will not, however, ask anyone to remove any threads.
 
The Times hadn’t yet been in touch with the Trump campaign—Lichtblau spoke with the campaign a week later—but shortly after it reached out to Alfa, the Trump domain name in question seemed to suddenly stop working. When the scientists looked up the host, the DNS server returned a fail message, evidence that it no longer functioned. Or as it is technically diagnosed, it had “SERVFAILed.” (On the timeline above, this is the moment at the end of the chronology when the traffic abruptly spikes, as servers frantically attempt to resend rejected messages.) The computer scientists believe there was one logical conclusion to be drawn: The Trump Organization shut down the server after Alfa was told that the Times might expose the connection. Weaver told me the Trump domain was “very sloppily removed.” Or as another of the researchers put it, it looked like “the knee was hit in Moscow, the leg kicked in New York.”

Four days later, on Sept. 27, the Trump Organization created a new host name, trump1.contact-client.com, which enabled communication to the very same server via a different route. When a new host name is created, the first communication with it is never random. To reach the server after the resetting of the host name, the sender of the first inbound mail has to first learn of the name somehow. It’s simply impossible to randomly reach a renamed server. “That party had to have some kind of outbound message through SMS, phone, or some noninternet channel they used to communicate [the new configuration],” Paul Vixie told me. The first attempt to look up the revised host name came from Alfa Bank. “If this was a public server, we would have seen other traces,” Vixie says. “The only look-ups came from this particular source.”

According to Vixie and others, the new host name may have represented an attempt to establish a new channel of communication. But media inquiries into the nature of Trump’s relationship with Alfa Bank, which suggested that their communications were being monitored, may have deterred the parties from using it. Soon after the New York Times began to ask questions, the traffic between the servers stopped cold.

Is Trump an elected or appointed official in the US government?

Conducting business with a country that is being sanctioned, is illegal.

And even if it weren't, can you trust a failure of a businessman with ties to Russian banks to be POTUS?

can you trust a failure of a former first lady, US Senator, and Sec of State who is immersed in so much corruption that the area around her practically stinks with the aroma?

I understand why you channel Kelly Ann when you are faced with answering any questions re. Trump
