Pence used AOL email on governor business, got hacked
Use of private email for state business isn't illegal in Indiana, but it raises security concerns because, well, the account was hacked.
Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a personal email account to conduct official -- and
Vice President Mike Pence routinely used a personal AOL account for sensitive state business, including discussions about homeland security issues, while he was governor of Indiana, the Indianapolis Star reported Thursday.
One of the emails, obtained through a public records request, relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges, the newspaper reported. While the arrangement doesn't violate Indiana law, the state requires all records dealing with state business to be retained and available for public information requests.
Use of a personal account raises questions about security, especially considering it was compromised last year. A hacker sent fake emails to his contact list last June claiming Pence and his wife had been attacked in the Philippines, the newspaper reported.
Use of a private email account for government business also raises transparency concerns since personal emails aren't automatically stored on state servers, making them invisible to public records requests. But Pence's office said Thursday that the contents of the email account are being archived in accordance with the law.
"Similar to previous governors, during his time as Governor of Indiana, Mike Pence maintained a state email account and a personal email account," Pence's office said in a statement to the Star. "As Governor, Mr. Pence fully complied with Indiana law regarding email use and retention. Government emails involving his state and personal accounts are being archived by the state consistent with Indiana law, and are being managed according to Indiana's Access to Public Records Act."
The newspaper reports that the Pence administration took four months to fulfill the public records requests and that there is no indication that Pence took any such steps to preserve his AOL emails until he was leaving the governor's office.
The use of private email servers by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was a major issue pressed by Donald Trump, her rival in the election.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Facebook admitted on Tuesday it did have data sharing partnerships with four Chinese companies, including the world's third largest smartphone manufacturer, Huawei, even though the company was under intense scrutiny from the United States intelligence agencies for security concerns, according to Reuters. The company said Huawei, computer company Lenovo Group, and other smartphone makers OPPO and TCL Corp were among the nearly 60 companies which received access to some user data after signing contracts with Facebook. The New York Times first reported on the practice over the weekend, prompting several members of Congress to raise concerns about the scheme since the data of users' friends could have been accessed without their full, explicit consent. Facebook dismissed those concerns and said the data access was only to allow its users to access specific account features when using mobile devices. The social media giant said more than half the partnerships with corporations hav...
HINCHE, Haiti _ Rain pummeled the ragged dirt highway outside the walled compound of Midwives for Haiti. Inside the non-profit’s headquarters, a handful of staffers and volunteers on a medical mission from Florida thought they were in for the night after a long day providing care. That’s when MFH education director Cindy Siegel’s cell phone rang. It was clinical director Perrine Stock, calling from the rundown public hospital a mile away where women deliver on bare gurneys unless they bring bed sheets, buckets are their only toilets, electricity is sporadic, and the maternity ward lacks running water. A day earlier, a 26-year-old with soaring blood pressure gave birth to a very premature baby that died in delivery. A few hours later the woman suffered a seizure associated with eclampsia _ a major killer of women in Haiti. As her grieving relatives stood vigil outside the ward, her condition worsened.
