<\/p>\nMike Pence Used Private Email for State Business as Indiana Governor, and Got Hacked<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mike Pence used a private email account to conduct state business while Governor of Indiana, according to the Indy Star<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Emails released to IndyStar in response to a public records request show Pence\u00a0communicated via his personal AOL account\u00a0with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governor\u2019s residence to the state\u2019s response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pence\u2019s top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men<\/a> on federal terror-related charges.<\/p>\n Cyber-security experts say the emails raise concerns about whether such sensitive information was adequately protected from hackers, given that\u00a0personal accounts like Pence\u2019s are typically less secure than government email accounts. In fact, Pence\u2019s personal account was hacked last summer.<\/p>\n Too bad they couldn\u2019t have trotted this info out during the so-called scandal over Hillary\u2019s emails.<\/p>\n The post Mike Pence Used Private Email for State Business as Indiana Governor, and Got Hacked<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
