The most interesting part of the article:
> In the process of mining data from the Blumenthal account, Lazar said he came across evidence that others were on the Clinton server.
> "As far as I remember, yes, there were … up to 10, like, IPs from other parts of the world,” he said.
- snowwrestler 11y agoThat section didn't make sense to me. The Blumenthal account was at AOL, so if Guccifer was mining data there, how could that give any clue about who was on Clinton's server?
- krypton36 11y agoGuccifer looked at the email header of the Blumenthal email(and others) to get Hillary's server IP address. Apparently he gained access to the server and was able to run IP scans. So he probably had root access to it.
- Mendenhall 11y agoI thought that was very interesting myself but I thought this was also. "For Lazar, a plea agreement where he cooperates in exchange for a reduced sentence would be advantageous. He told Fox News he has nothing to hide and wants to cooperate with the U.S. government, adding that he has hidden two gigabytes of data that is “too hot” and “it is a matter of national security.”
- DKnoll 11y agoIt's not even remotely interesting that a mail server used (unofficially) by the State Department would be accessed from around the world... many of their officials travel constantly.
- cwilkes 11y agoI don't think he's talking about accessing email on the server, but rather that others had root access on the box.
- DKnoll 11y agoThat's quite a jump to make... how does 12 IPs authenticating successfully translate to root access? We already know who root was, and it was a State Department admin.
