There’s no evidence, of course, that Clintonemail.com was ever actually compromised. University of Pennsylvania computer science professor Matt Blaze says judging its security versus the State Department’s own email servers would require more information. But he notes that the control of the server’s domain is a real issue. “It’s certainly true that the domain State.gov is probably harder to hijack than clintonemail.com,” says Blaze.

This is the kind of thing that sounds real good when you first think of it, but in the end, you realize that being a SysAdmin is not a “hobby” most anyone is capable of handling.
