Hillary’s Secret Email Was a Cyberspy’s Dream Weapon - The Daily Beast
"Right from the start would have been in the days before her Senate confirmation in 2009, when the private email account was set up. If Clinton didn’t realize then that she was a security risk then, the Chinese hackers trying to break into her office should have tipped her off."
Sure, setting up a private email account is easy. You could do it yourself on your very own personal computer with some basic knowledge about how IP numbers work; you very well might already have the software, and if you don’t it’s easily available, free. I’ve done it myself, just to see how it works.
But. Running even a personal-grade email server safely and securely is a difficult, highly technical job and requires the continuous attention of at least one person, more or less 24/7. And even then, you won’t come close to what commercial-grade (or .gov) services can provide, even to people like thee and me.
