The United States Department of State released this Hillary Clinton on Wednesday a new shipment of e-mails showing that former Secretary of State received messages with a type of virus that allows hackers to gain access to your information when held the folder during the first term of Barack Obama.On August 3, 2011, Hillary received in your personal e-mail account, the same as used for official business, several messages allegedly coming from the Traffic Department of the state of New York with a notification for speeding.
The messages contained in fact a 'malware' (a hidden malicious program) that allows hackers to obtain information, and to control the computer when the file that is hidden runs. It is unknown whether Hillary, pre-candidate of the Democratic Party for the upcoming presidential elections, opened documents with malicious software that were attached to the email or not. Cybersecurity experts said the malware was programmed to send the information to obtain "at least" three servers located outside the United States, one in Russia.
The more than 3,800 emails also presented reveal a conversation between Clinton and his assistants on digital security issues because a large number of senior officials from the State Department used their personal e-mail accounts. "No one uses the computer provided by the government and even high-ranking officials often end up using their own e-mail accounts to do their work quickly and efficiently," wrote Hillary Anne-Marie Slaughter, then Director of Policy Planning the State Department.
The conversation on this issue, which is now causing a major headache for the Clinton campaign, was motivated at the time by the attack on the e-mail service Google, Gmail, in 2011. Among the more than 3,800 e mails released on Wednesday, 215 were partially censored because it contained sensitive information, and three of them were classified as "secret."
