i think this happens all the time to everyone. i've been sniffing and tracking this type of information for many years. i think it's just botnets crawling the internet testing for vulnerabilities, so they can add other zombies to their collection. the probability that you're specifically targeted by some hacker is remote in the extreme, unless you've pissed someone off or have valuable information.

Yeah that is just script kiddies or bots. I seriously doubt that Hillary had a firewall appliance - I wonder if she was even using NATing. Has there been anything published on her server configuration? Since it is an email server, I suspect it had more than just a port or two open (e.g. posts for SMPT, POP3, IMAP, TLS/SSL, EWS, CalDev, RDS, etc.).

yeah, "Guccifer", the romanian hacker that supposedly got into Hilary's server laid out some details, but not all of them made their way to the press. she had a dedicated sys admin. there's no reason to believe he half-assed it.
