In other news, state officials in Texas are moving forward with their Orwellian plan to rename immigrant detention centers to "child care centers" despite widespread condemnation.
Meanwhile, hackers compromised Department of Justice servers by gaining access through an email account and posted detailed information about 10,000 employees and contractors over the weekend.
The data was obtained, the hacker told Motherboard, by first compromising the email account of a DoJ employee, although he would not elaborate on how that account was accessed in the first place.
From there, he tried logging into a DoJ web portal, but when that didn't work, he phoned up the relevant department.
“So I called up, told them I was new and I didn't understand how to get past [the portal],” the hacker told Motherboard. “They asked if I had a token code, I said no, they said that's fine—just use our one.”
The hacker says he then logged in, clicked on a link to a personal computer which took him to an online virtual machine, and entered in the credentials of the already hacked email account. After this, the hacker was presented with the option of three different computers to access, he claimed, and one was the work machine of the person behind the originally hacked email account.
They tell me Hillary Clinton's email was "insecure" but there's no evidence that her private server was ever breached.
The federal government, on the other hand, has seen several large breaches over the past several years. As far as we know, the Clinton email server was more secure than a State Department email server would have been.
