EXCLUSIVE: Hillary’s Email Server Had A Webmail Portal That Allowed UNRESTRICTED ACCESS To Hackers

Hillary Clinton’s private email server had a webmail subdomain that made it highly vulnerable to hackers, Breitbart News has learned.

clintonemail.com had a subdomain called webmail.clintonemail.com, according to the account’s GoDaddy.com encryption certificate. That subdomain is a web-based email portal that considerably weakened the server’s defenses and invited attack.

A webmail portal allows web traffic to bypass hardware and software firewalls to easily access the server’s mail “interface.”

If a user accesses emails through a web portal on an unsecure network like Clinton’s, then the emails can be read without any encryption whatsoever for safety.

The webmail portal vastly increased the chances that Clinton’s server was hacked, a computer expert tells Breitbart News. Some hacking engines specifically target webmail portals like the one Clinton had, looking for access to email accounts.

And since hers was a web-based portal, Clinton’s few lines of defense for her server – including a spam-filtering system called MXLogic and a company in Florida that kept perfunctory tabs on the account – probably would not have even known if a hack occurred.

Additionally, Clinton’s server’s encryption was a Sha1 encryption combined with an RSA encryption. That encryption is very weak. Sha1 without an RSA encryption to compliment it is so weak and prone to hacks that it has been getting phased out of use for about a decade. Even the added RSA encryption does not negate the vulnerability to hacks of Clinton’s Sha1 encryption.

Sha1 is about 64,000 times less secure than the encryption for the extramarital dating website Ashley Madison, which was recently hacked, exposing the personal information of all of the site’s users.

“Due to [Ashley Madison] employing these methods one of the specialists attempting to reveal the true passwords was limited to 156 guesses per second instead of the 7m-11m that would be possible with more common, weaker methods of hashing such as MD5 or SHA1,” according to a posting on a tech forum.

Inspector General: Clinton emails had intel from most secretive, classified programs

EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs, according to an unclassified letter from a top inspector general to senior lawmakers.

Fox News exclusively obtained the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails – including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP).

That indicates a level of classification beyond even “top secret,” the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings even more scrutiny to the presidential candidate’s handling of the government’s closely held secrets.

“To date, I have received two sworn declarations from one [intelligence community] element. These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret, and top secret/sap levels,” said the IG letter to lawmakers with oversight of the intelligence community and State Department. “According to the declarant, these documents contain information derived from classified IC element sources.”

Intelligence from a "special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as "top secret" – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton's private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a "need-to-know" because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection – or a human asset – at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time.

“There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”
