Oh I don't know - how did the State Department treat it? As a priority? Then maybe...
WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department staffers wrestled for weeks in
December 2010 over a serious technical problem that affected emails from
then-Secretary Hillary Clinton's home email server, causing them to
temporarily disable security features on the government's own systems,
according to emails released Wednesday.
The emails were released under court order Wednesday to the
conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch, which has sued the
State Department over access to public records related to the
presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's service as the nation's
top diplomat between 2009 and 2013.
The emails, reviewed by The Associated Press, show that State
Department technical staff disabled software on their systems intended
to block phishing emails that could deliver dangerous viruses. They were
trying urgently to resolve delivery problems with emails sent from
Clinton's private server.
"This should trump all other activities," a senior technical
official, Ken LaVolpe, told IT employees in a Dec. 17, 2010, email.
Another senior State Department official, Thomas W. Lawrence, wrote days
later in an email that deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin personally was
asking for an update about the repairs. Abedin and Clinton, who both
used Clinton's private server, had complained that emails each sent to
State Department employees were not being reliably received.
After technical staffers turned off some security features, Lawrence
cautioned in an email, "We view this as a Band-Aid and fear it's not 100
percent fully effective."
