Back in 2016 when the United States general elections were ongoing. The FBI got a note of some emails that were making rounds that were supposedly confidential in nature. The investigation kept going until they got their hands on the emails that were supposedly confidential and they were shocked at what they found. The emails were owned by Hilary Clinton and the emails that were leaked were during her tenure as secretary of state in 2009 and when she was a part of the New York senate from 2003-2008. Now, you’re probably wondering how she got hacked, When it happened and how it happened and how to overcome it. All will be revealed.
The hacks were presumed to have happened over the course of 2003-2009. This mainly happened because the emails were stored on a private server that was located on Hilary Clinton’s personal home in New York at first and then it went to Washington in 2008 after she was sworn in as secretary of state. Most politicians get to use the state’s email service that’s distributed by the government but Hilary believed that her personal server would be better and much safer and to be quite frank. She’s not wrong. Most of the state’s emails are vetted by an A.I technology that might be deemed obsolete to some people. The use of a personal server can potentially help you but only if you understand how to do it well enough. The problem with Hilary Clinton was that she thought that she could undertake this task on her own when in reality she needed a Managed IT service provider that would undertake the tasks of handling the security aspect of the personal server not to mention the server maintenance and monthly checkups. So how can you avoid another mishap like the Hilary Clinton controversy?
Do your Own Research
At the outset of this whole drama, Hillary Clinton didn’t take the time to think things through and do her own research on how to handle things. Firstly, She should have read up on what it takes to maintain a server and she should have consulted a professional in the industry such as a technician to overlook the plans that she wants to execute. Not a lot of people can jump straight into building a server and expect to just have it succeed without a hitch or a glitch. It’s very important to read up on the fundamentals of a server and maybe consult a professional or someone who is well-versed in the industry. This can potentially help avoid such a catastrophic disaster such as the 2016 USA General Elections that caused the scale to tip towards Donald Trump’s way.
Find a service provider
One of the things you can actually do when you want to set up a server is to find a service provider that is willing to set up the server for your. Inputting the security commands that will deter bots and also future hackers if they do attempt to DDOS attack you, Networking and also the monthly maintenance that has to take place in order to update the security settings and also the other updates such as software and C++ that should be kept up to date but is usually overlooked. Hilary Clinton can not possibly undertake all these responsibilities while still upholding the position of being secretary of state. It’s almost impossible to juggle all of this if you think about it and this is the main reason that caused the breach in the server that ultimately leaked thousands of emails by Hilary Clinton including top secret files that mentioned the attack that was made in Benghazi. This ultimately led to the republicans winning the majority state seats and that led to Donald Trump winning the election. The smallest thing such as setting up a server led the entire United States to hit rock bottom.

Overall, if you take a look at it. Most of the problems in the US can be solved if they evaluated the way they conducted their elections and possibly abolish the electoral college in order of getting the most successful results that will guarantee the people’s vote instead of the majority party’s vote.
