Hillary
Clinton’ had been blowing trumpets about the security of her email
server while she was secretary of State. However, her claims took a big
bashing today when a Romanian hacker known as Guccifer told Fox News
that he repeatedly hacked her email server in 2013 and accessed her
mails.
“For me, it was easy … easy for me, for everybody,” Marcel
Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker “Guccifer,” told Fox News from a
Virginia jail where he is being held.
Lazar told
Fox News
that he was not interested in the contents of her emails. “I was not
paying attention. For me, it was not like the Hillary Clinton server, it
was like an email server she and others were using with political
voting stuff,” he said.
Lazar was
extradited to the U.S. on cyber-hacking charges of Clinton, General Colin Powell, and a member of the Bush family, told
Fox News
that he first hacked the account of Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime
associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Once inside, Lazar noticed
several emails from Clinton, who is currently the Democratic frontrunner
for president of the United States.
Guccifer claimed he was able
to access the server as and when he felt like it. He also provided
extensive details about how he did it and what he found to Fox News.
In
response to Lazar’s claims, the Clinton campaign issued a statement
Wednesday night saying, “There is absolutely no basis to believe the
claims made by this criminal from his prison cell. In addition to the
fact he offers no proof to support his claims, his descriptions of
Secretary Clinton’s server are inaccurate. It is unfathomable that he
would have gained access to her emails and not leaked them the way he
did to his other victims.
