US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s criticism of rival Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while Secretary of State appeared to have rebounded on him. Security researcher Kevin Beaumont discovered the Trump organisation uses a hopelessly outdated and insecure internet setup. Servers on the Trump Organization' …

      Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it:

      US presidential candidate Donald Trump’s criticism of rival Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while Secretary of State appeared to have rebounded on him.

      It's pretty amazing that outright illegal behaviour engaged in while running the State Department, then lying about it, trying to shift the blame to Powell, and getting a free pass by law enforcement is now put on the same level as running an unsecure server when running for president (however ill-suited for that job, but the Clinton-level of "fuck everything that looks female" is there at least)

      Says much about the sewer-grade "news reporting" one gets nowadays.

        Yes yes.. We all know how much the FBI love left-wing people, especially Shillary HilarityHillary...

        Oh, and as to "...outright illegal behaviour..."... Deleting emails, which the LEO have found no case to answer, or sexual assault of lots of women.. Hmm.. Which is worse.. Deleting some generally unimportant messages, or sexually assaulting someone.. Erm.. Gee, that's a hard one. Oh wait, maybe that's what the problem was..

        Seems about the same level as the US election.. But I'm in the country with TVNZ and their "news", or that prick on one of the other stations in the mornings.

          Both are illegal. Especially destroying evidence after a subpeona and secondly since wikileaks revealed 2nd in command to US justice dept tipped off Clinton confidante Leon Panetta about the subpeona, its even more illegal.

    More seriously - even if someone did break into his email, what do you hope to find? All of his bigotry and hatred is on Twitter at 3AM. All of his bankruptcies were public. His sexual assaults are somewhat public. The people he didn't pay for their work are common knowledge right now.

    Which secure government server is he not using because he wants to hide from FOIA requests? And how much classified information has he leaked?

    Oh, wait- he's not a government employee, and isn't passing around classified material.

    You know, like Hillary was, when she used an insecure server to dodge FOIA laws, and when she put classified information in emails that went through it, instead of using the required government system. And when she deleted tens of thousands of emails AFTER being informed that they were subject to government warrants and such...

        The domain, clintonemail.com, was registered on January 13, 2009 -- AFTER she accepted the position of Secretary of State (November 21, 2008), AFTER her appointment was formally announced (December 1, 2008).

        It was apparently registered and set up immediately after she had been through the security training and found out that anything she did on a government account was discoverable.

        The rule against was government use of personal email accounts went into effect in 2005, After Colin Powell, and before Clinton.

        All of these dates are public, verifiable information. You are entitled to your own opinions, but you aren't entitled to your own facts - and the facts don't support your statements.

        Re: So...

        How could Colin Powell approve anything? He wasn't in government service at the time. Also he had a personal email account, not a server, and this was before the rule was in place. He merely advised the same and as he had not been in government service for four years he may not have been aware of the then new rule.

        The server she set up BEFORE the rule against them was brought in?

        While the server may have been set up before the new rules it has no bearing as she wasn't Secretary of State at the time nor is any earlier data subject to FOIA requests. Note that the new rules were in place when she did become Secretary of State and rather than follow the rules to which she was then subject, she did not.

        Here's the thing, if you are doing something, and a law against it is passed, you're supposed to stop doing that thing... you know why? Because after the law is made, it's then ILLEGAL!

        Even if Trump hasn't secured his personal email server at all. It only puts him and his business at risk, not American security, lives or national secrets. Believe me.

        It's clear that the Clintons had mastered double-speak long ago. And it's nothing short of ridiculous for her to assert the Trump is unsuitable because of his attitude towards women -- she had her chance to say that long ago when she was supporting a man who put the hard word on one of his interns. But...

        ... of course a technically competant organization with a history of opperating their own mail servers would have prefered that over what the State Department was offering. Yes it was wrong, but it doesn't need any other explanation.

          "~ The official State Department mail system was / notoriously / a POS."

          As a mail server admin I can guess exactly what they are talking about by the amount of whining about features such as the 1 hour lockout of IPs that get too many bad password attempts By far the largest complaint I get is that my server passwords are "too complicated" meaning I generate them randomly. I have seen people create secure default passwords such as 123456, asdf the company name or even an obfuscated (l33t) version of the username. (Seriously, 3 different workplaces have assigned me the exact same secure password "G3rh4rd") And I don't even deal with a secure environment that requires VPN for email access..

          So all of these politicians do what managers do when faced with an annoyance: they go off and bypass the restrictions by doing their own thing. They go off and hire someone to setup a new user friendly mail server for them only to learn that it's harder than it looks Security? "it has a firewall"

          , document retention? oops. George Bush, Colin Powell, Hillary Clinton: All form of the same techno illiterate stupidity.

      It's not directly comparable to the Hillary thing, but then again, if you're going to run for president and try to give your adversary a hard time over her email indiscretions, then probably the thing you really really want to not screw up on, is your own email set up.

      As we all know here, running out of support software is really not best practice, and is inexcusable if that software is internet connected.

    He's just a candidate

    Right now his campaign is run just like a lot of misguided small businesses out there -- just enough IT experience to cause problems. They got email up and running and called it a day when it could send & receive.

    They could have outsourced the whole thing to almost any competent hosting company and they wouldn't have to manage anything themselves. This is a non-story because he's just a regular citizen. That would change if he was holding an elected office, and the criticism and outrage would be justified from that point.

    As others have pointed out: If it's so insecure, where is all the purloined information? You know it would be front page, right next to the articles trying to convince Trump voters to stay home because Hillary has it in the bag already.

      Not so.

      It is established by long practice that we hold our candidates for public office to a higher standard than "ordinary citizens". Just ask the Do Nothing Congress. They positively glory in raking such people over the coals for infractions of character that would hardly raise an eyebrow in polite society.

      Additionally, *this* candidate has held himself up as a barometer of competence and integrity. More, he has said in as many words that he is the Acme of such values, a line in the sand from which we should compare all others ("No-one understands [whatever] like me", "No-one has more respect for [whatever] than me", "No-one has been more successful at [whatever] than me"). Such a man cannot now claim the umbrella of "ordinary citizenship" to shield him from increased scrutiny.

      So yes, it's a story, just like "Carpetbagger Clinton" was during her run for the Senate.

    Believe me, Mexicans are going to pay for this firewall, believe me.

    Mr. Powell summed it up very well: Donald Trump is a national disgrace, and the proportion of decerebrate, bigot and xenophobic inbreds willing to vote for him is astonishing.

      "Mr. Powell summed it up very well: Donald Trump is a national disgrace, and the proportion of decerebrate, bigot and xenophobic inbreds willing to vote for him is par for the course."

      Fixed.

      Mines the one with the hanging chad in the pocket, thanks.

      Why not trump.org? Because someone else [Registrant Name: chris puchowicz] got there first!

      And it says:

      "Vote NO to Trump

      He wasn’t even organized enough to purchase this domain (or www.trump.tv) at public auction, and he wants to run the U.S.A.?

      Days after I won this domain at public auction I received a letter from Trump attorney’s threatening to sue me for trademark infringement for purchasing this domain.

      Guess who still owns the domain… not that guy."

    If he emailed classified info, should be "in jail"

    If Trump discussed any classified national security issues via email, by his own admission, he should be "in jail."

      If Trump discussed any classified national security issues via email, by his own admission, he should be "totally delusional, bigly".

    trumporg.com is running office365

    Well, maybe not for everything, who knows, but the SPF is at least one of office365 from Microsoft ( spf.protection.outlook.com -all )

    Two Words for Trump

    Xen (not Xenu, Unix spelled backwards!) and Citrix!

    If you must insist on running the "Quantum Garbage" known as Windows (TPM) without any kind of firewall technology you can trust at least run it in a bloody hypervisor!

    The primary difference between Trump's insecure email server and Clinton's insecure email server, is:

    HILLARY CLINTON WAS SECRETARY OF STATE. A government position that is supposed to have transparency and auditing by the Government Accountability Office and the US Inspector General.

    Your comments about Trump's insecure email server are lost on the fact that Trump hasnt held public office yet, under existing Federal Law that demands accountability and audit.

    Just the mere fact that Clinton or any of her IT people could even delete emails written by the Secretary of State is a violation of those laws...

    Small point to consider.

    The email systems operated by Trump are commercial and do not handle classified government messages. People will not die if his servers get hacked.

    Trump's a HUGE asshole. He's also remarkably stupid.

    I wonder how long before the Chinese "Dump on Trump".

    Not a government official

    therefore his problem, not a national security issue in breach of the rules.
