10. Channel Gets Roped Into Hillary Clinton Email Scandal

Platte River Networks, a 30-person solution provider, found itself in hot water after The Washington Post revealed in August that it had been brought in to manage Hillary Clinton’s private email system.

Platte River had been hired by the Clintons in 2013 to provide better security, durability and a more professional setup. And data protection vendor Datto was used as the disaster recovery site for Clinton’s server, news reports revealed in October.

These arrangements generated scrutiny since Clinton exclusively used a personal email system rather than an official government one during her tenure as secretary of state, leading to concerns that emails contained classified or sensitive information could have been compromised.
