Cybersecurity is going to be a challenging problem for the next president and every one thereafter but maybe Hillary Clinton isn’t the best person to bring this up as a campaign issue.
Alyssa Canobbio of the Washington Free Beacon:
Clinton Calls Cybersecurity ‘One of the Most Important Challenges’ for the Next President
At the end of a get out the vote campaign event in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton was asked about her plans for protecting cyber security.
“It is one of the most important challenges the next president is going to face,” Clinton said.
Clinton said that the technology offenses conducted by hostile states have become more advanced. She named Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as countries that are just going to accelerate their attacks on the cyber infrastructure of the United States.
“We first have to figure how to create what would be an understanding with these nations that we will not tolerate their cyber theft and their cyber evasiveness, and we certainly would never ever sit still for a cyber attack,” Clinton said.
Clinton also spoke of another level of cyber attackers that is made up of terrorist networks and hacker networks who have nothing to lose when they release a cyber attack. Clinton added that the US needs to work on both levels to prevent the attacks from happening and giving them the information that they want.
Here’s the video:
Hillary certainly seems confident talking about cybersecurity which is curious since some people are now claiming she didn’t know how to access her email with a computer.
The Hill reported:
Clinton didn’t know how to access email by computer, says State official
Hillary Clinton did not know how to use a computer to read and send emails when she entered office as the nation’s top diplomat in 2009.
She only knew how to read her messages via BlackBerry, according to an official at the time.
Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, told State Department official Lewis Lukens that there could be a “problem,” because Clinton “does not know how to use a computer to do email — only [Blackberry],” he wrote in a 2009 email released on Monday.”
“But I said [it] would not take much training to get her up to speed,” he claimed.It’s unclear whether Clinton was ever trained to use a computer to access emails.
If you made this stuff up, no one would believe it.

OK. Hillary is playing Clueless in Washington.
But does Hillary know how to read words like “TOP SECRET” “CLASSIFIED” “DO NOT USE PRIVATE SERVER AT ANY TIME” “SIGN HERE”? If not, Hillary is the first illiterate Sec. of State we’ve ever had.
Wow.
What a great cyber-security strategy.
You tell Russia, China, Iran and N.Korea that you will not tolerate cyber theft, and you’re done. No need to secure servers anymore.
Genius !!

This lady knows no shame and has zero sense of decency.
Most importantly, she has zero respect for the American public.
But why would she? After all the lies and corruption there’s still those willing to vote for her.
‘Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.’

Hillary on Cybersecurity and how she handled it with her emails:
“Well, the first thing you do is to take your server to a bathroom and be sure wipe it well after taking a dump. Don’t forget to flush too. It is gross when you don’t do that.”
“Hillary, the Cybersecurity Candidate”
Hillary’s campaign slogan: “A server in every bathroom”
Ahh. the lack of self-awareness of this comment and the way it will be used later in the campaign (if ANY Republican is smart about it) is just delicious.
I can see it now: (video of Clinton’s statement) followed by an image of a computer server in a bathroom with text overlay of: “Clinton received 1300+ classified e-mails on an unsecured server sitting in her bathroom, some of which were so classified that even fully redacted they STILL cannot be released to the public.
Follow that with the “Did you wipe the server” question and the “what, with a cloth?” answer.
Cybersecurity. Just one more area where Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a clue.
Ah, but Chuck, it wasn’t EVEN HER BATHROOM. It was a linen cupboard belonging to people who held NO security clearance whatsoever, and took no security measures. Not physical or data security. None.
Isn’t that statement a case of closing the barn door after the horse got out? Or in this case, the cow.
Is she blind to the irony?
Come on now, folks. ‘Cybersecurity’ is a ‘buzz-word’ to 99.95% of the American Public. The news readers and their blatantly liberal producers know the public has zero clue as to what is required.
Time for Big Animal pictures and simple phrasing to tell the American public Hillary Clinton is a lying, megalomaniac who (desperately) wants the Brass Ring.
It’s personal for her.
Recall that celebrity hacker Guccifer got into Sydney Blumental’s email account which reveals to the world that Hillary was conducting government business on a non secure non government server.
Dear Mrs. Clinton,
“THANKS TO ME cybersecurity is one of the most important challenges for the next president.”
FIFY
The woman has become a walking /talking cartoon parody.
The fact that 50% of the country would support her OR Bernie over any GOP candidate is disturbing.
Does this woman know no shame?
