In her memoir, Hillary Clinton warned of hackers breaking into personal email accountsIn her 2014 memoir, former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton described the lengths to which State Department officials must go to protect sensitive communications
In the memoir, she includes a chapter titled 21st-Century Statecraft: Digital Diplomacy in a Networked World, emphasizing how communications technology can help activists avoid persecution from repressive regimes and spur economic growth in developing nations. However, she also warns of the security risks of electronic communications, the lengths to which State Department communications were a target of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, and how she worked under strict security precautions to protect official information:

She knew the risks and took steps to protect herself.

She opened herself up to more risk. She removed herself from all governmental oversight. She is arrogant beyond measure, and this weakens her case significantly.

(43,867 posts)4. yep. the excerpt in the OP contradicts the OP's headline
"In her memoir, Hillary Clinton warned of hackers breaking into personal email accounts "
But in the excerpt:
she also warns of the security risks of electronic communications, the lengths to which State Department communications were a target of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, and how she worked under strict security precautions to protect official information:
Hillary took precautions against "increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks" of "State Department communications" by not having hers on State Department servers.
