Cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano isn't happy about what he just heard. Robert, you know, it felt not only beyond this Hillary Clinton private email server, but also it felt almost sort of a tacit admission that our government is woefully behind our foes out there when it comes to cybersecurity.
Well, there's no question about that. There have been so many breaches of data, both in the corporate world and of course government agencies. When stuff like this happens and they don't come to a conclusive determination as to whether or not her servers were actually accessed, although there have been other reports of hackers actually expressing that they did, something is missing.
Robert, what worries me is the notion that Hackers went in there, they had their way with her private email server, and they were able to clean it up on the way out. In other words, even after the fact, our government doesn't have the tools to find out if there was a breach?
You know, when you look at breaches like the Office of Personnel Management, where 20-plus million records are compromised and then another 5 million fingerprints are compromised, you have to seriously, you know, look at our government and determine whether or not they have the wherewithal to protect our critical infrastructure pictures in any way.
All right, Robert Siciliano, we're going to leave it there. Thank you very much, really appreciate it. Thank you. All right, stocks are getting hammered. The Dow Jones Industrial Average off triple digits. So what's exactly behind the drop? We'll talk about that
