> On March 16, 2016, AP reported that in February 2009, secretary of state Hillary Clinton also wanted a secured BlackBerry like the one used by Obama, but that NSA denied that request. A month later, Clinton began using a private server, located in the basement of her home, to exchange e-mail messages with her top aides through her regular, non-secure BlackBerry. Later it came out that this rather risky solution was also used for sensitive messages.

A good reminder how IT departments need to provide solutions that actually work and are accessible to everyone. If not, "shadow IT" will emerge, rather sooner than later.

And Clinton was Secretary of State, not some low level clerk.
