Expect such publicly available information soon to no longer be publicly available, and taking with it lots of publicly valuable non-enforcement-related information.
It is impossible to believe that the Virginia Department of Elections was the first to know about this. So, one must assume that dozens of people, many with much to gain have know about this for years. Those are precisely the kind of people that would use this without qualms. So, take various comforting phrases like "we know of no actual exploits" with a salt mine full of salt, because the odds are highly likely that they have been exploited.
If I understand this article correctly, the security flaws that "Exposed Her Emails To Foreign Spies" include using her own server (probably insecure but we don't know that for a fact) and using off-site backups (also probably insecure but we don't know that for a fact either). Did I miss anything?
