Hillary Clinton has paid to hide the identity of individuals who run the server hosting her private email. This has not only given a faceless company full access to classified information in her emails. The faceless company has done nothing to protect the classified information from hackers.
Although Eric Hoteman, Clinton’s aide, purchased the email domain clintonemail.com, and listed the address of Clinton’s Chappaqua, New York home as the domain’s contact address. The domain, however, remains registered to a faceless internet company. Perfect Privacy, the internet company that the domain is registered, does not have any real contact address. This hides the true identity of the people who owns the domain. Perfect Privacy has 12808 Gran Bay Parkway West in Jacksonville as its listed contact address.
According to the company’s website, the company helps its clients to mask their personal information. The company achieves this by allowing its clients to use its fake contact address in places where official information is required. It is a requirement by the United State’s government that information pertaining registration of domain names be publicly available as soon as a domain name is registered. The internet company helps individuals to bypass this legal requirement. This is what person who registered Clinton’s email domain did.
The internet company promises to never reveal the identity of its clients. However, the website says that a client’s details may be revealed when he or she breaches the Perfect Privacy Service Agreement. Another scenario is when company is required to do so by law.
Further research revealed that Network Solutions owns Perfect Privacy, LLC. Network Solution is in turn owned by Web.com. All the companies use the same contact address. The address is the headquarters of Web.com.
Web.com confirmed that Clinton’s email is registerd there. Since the company manages the server, it has access to all classified information in the domain. However, Web.com does not provide security to their domains making them vulnerable to cyber attacks. Its clients are expected to rely on antivirus such as Norton protect themselves from hackers.
Research also shows that clintonemail.com and presidentclinton.com share the same IP addresses. The addresses show that the domains have the same physical location. It is believed the physical location is Clintons’ offices in Midtown Manhattan. Another domain that uses the same IP address is wjcoffice.com. The domain is used by staff belonging to Bill Clinton. The IP port used by all these domains is port 443. The question remains whether it is legal to have classified information in the hands of faceless companies. Experts are waiting keenly to see any move that the United States’ government will make to secure these crucial domains. The server associated with Hillary Clinton’s domain is also known to crash often.
