2008

• 2008 -- Hillary Clinton acquires a personal email server for her use in running for president, and has it installed in her Chappaqua, New York home. The server also provides the ability to use email on her private (bought in retail) Blackberry which she will use during all her tenure as a the Secretary of State.

2009

• Jan 13, 2009 -- The domain 'clintonemail.com' was created. It is assigned to the email server which now is reinstalled (or re-purposed pre-existing server from her Presidential run) to serve as her private email server. At this point Hillary Clinton create Shadow IT which run parallel to State Department IT which is administered by personally loyal to her administrators, not all of which were employees of the Department of State or have adequate security clearance.
• Jan 21, 2009 -- Clinton is confirmed by the U.S. Senate as President Obama's secretary of state
• Jan 21, 2009 - March 29, 2009 -- the server was operating without the security certificate or using self-signed certificate. During her first months in office until the certificate was obtained, Clinton traveled to Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, China, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Belgium, Switzerland, Turkey and Mexico. It's possible that Clinton didn't use the email system until the certificate had been obtained, but Kevin Bocek, vice president of security strategy and threat intelligence at Venafi, says he thinks that is unlikely. Due to the timing of the registration of the domain name and her swearing in, Bocek said it appears that the system was prepared for her to use as soon as she took office. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2895892/hillary-clintons-email-system-was-insecure-for-two-months.html
• Jan 22, 2009 -- Mrs. Clinton signs a non-disclosure agreement which acknowledged that classified markings are irrelevant to State secrets. The agreement states that "classified information is marked or unmarked ... including oral communications."
• Mar 18, 2009 -- Mrs. Clinton stops using the email address she used as a senator and begins using an account on "bathroom mail server". So this is the day she started to use her private email server. Stefan Molyneux in his presentation noted: "Her office also said that messages from the account she used as a senator are lost and could not be retrieved."
• Mar 29 , 2009 -- The first SSL certificate was issued for the domain, according to Venafi, a security company that analyzes encryption keys and digital certificates. Before that communication were most probably unencrypted.
• April 2009 -- At the G20 summit the USA and British intelligence services set up fake Internet cafes in the hope that government ministers and their staff from poor countries would connect to Internet hotspots, allowing the agencies " to extract key logging info, providing creds for delegates, meaning we have sustained intelligence options against them even after conference has finished". They also penetrated the security on delegates' Blackberries (" Exploited this use at the G20 meetings last year.") to monitor their email messages and phone calls. Most diplomats and officials who took part in two G20 summit meetings in London in 2009 had their computers monitored and their phone calls intercepted on the instructions of their British government hosts, according to documents seen by the Guardian. "Something tells me the State Department staff are not Edward Snowden fans." Shadowproof. Among other things they tried to spy on Dmitry Medvedev
• May 2009: Bryan Pagliano is hired as a political employee in the State Department’s IT [Information Technology] division in violation of norms governing political appointees (they generally should not be appointed to such a department). His job description has nothing to do with maintaining emails server at Hillary Clinton NY residence and he continues to manage Clinton’s private server in her house as a "stealth" system administrator. The Washington Post will later report, “Officials in the IT division have told investigators they could not recall previously hiring a political appointee.” Pagliano had worked as the IT director for Clinton’s PAC [political action committee] and also for her presidential campaign, and was paid by the PAC until April 2009. He also provided computer services to the Clinton family (The Washington Post, 3/27/2016). Patrick Kennedy, the department’s under secretary for management, oversees the hiring of Pagliano. Pagliano’s new bosses Susan Swart, head of the department’s Bureau of Information Resource Management, and her deputy, Charlie Wisecarver exchange emails expressing confusion and surprise that Kennedy has given them a political employee to work in the IT division. (Reuters, 3/24/2016) His initial salary is $133,000 a year. As a Schedule C political hire, Pagliano is vetted by the State Department’s Office of White House Liaison, where Heather Samuelson holds a top position. Samuelson worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, as did Pagliano, and in 2014 she will be one of three Clinton aides who decide which of Clinton’s 60,000 emails will be deleted. (The Daily Caller, 3/3/2016)
  
• July 31, 2009 -- Hillary Clinton herself ordered State Department staff to spy on foreign diplomats. Essentially she behaved in best KGB traditions. The document containing spying orders was sent to the United States Mission to the United Nations in New York as well as 30 US embassies worldwide, from Amman to Berlin, Paris, London, Moscow and even Zagreb.

First signs of troubles for Hillary

• 2009 Officials with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) expressed concerns over possible violations of normal federal government record-keeping procedures at the Department of State under Secretary Clinton

2010

• mid-June 2010 -- Stixnet worm was identified by the security company VirusBlokAda. a new age of exploiting Windows vulnerabilities started. Among other things it exploited Windows patch delivery mechanism to install malware. It was a watershed moment, the "beginning of the NSA activities blowback." Both hackers and foreign intelligence agencies quickly took notice and probably multiply funding of the corresponding units of NSA. The arm race for exploitation of Windows vulnerabilities started in full force and despite the USA having home advantage the situation with cyber security in the USA deteriorated quickly. That includes the cyber security of the USA embassies. Gloves went off. From this point the security of any "regular" Windows server or laptop connected to internet and targeted by foreign intelligence agencies can't be assured.
• July 2010 -- WikiLeaks and three media partners—The New York Times, The Guardian, and Der Spiegel—began publishing the 91,731 documents that became known as the Afghan War logs on July 25, 2010.

As NYT reported "In what one committee member described as a “very tense” meeting, State Department officials acknowledged that Mrs. Clinton had not had a government account.

(Having classified information outside a secure government account is illegal.)"

She also denies that she send or received classified material on the server: 'I did not send classified material. And I did not receive any material that was marked or designated classified -- which is the way you know whether something is.' At this point it is clear that she violated her NDA agreement with federal government and might face criminal persecution. An aide to a Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee told DailyMail.com shortly after the press conference that Clinton's claim 'is beyond bizarre and entirely nonsensical.'

  That's the designation now given to the contents of two emails that she turned over to the State Department last year from her private account.

  An aide to a Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee told DailyMail.com shortly after the press conference that Clinton's claim 'is beyond bizarre and entirely nonsensical.'

  'She was one of a few dozen people in Obama's administration with the knowledge and experience to decide if something was top secret,' the aide said after a promise of anonymity so he could speak his mind.

  'The way you decide if something is classified, when you're the secretary of state, isn't looking for a stamp. It's looking at the contents. This is the worst buck-passing I've seen since Hillary's husband decided there was more than one way to define the word "is".'

• Aug 18, 2015 -- The term "bathroom server" was born. The Daily Mail reported about Platte River Networks in the article Hillary's email firm was run from a loft apartment with its servers in the BATHROOM-raising-new-questions-security-sensitive-messages-held

"All the information we have is that the server wasn't wiped."^[115] When asked by the Washington Post, the Clinton campaign declined to comment.^[115
• Aug 22, 2015 -- David Miliband dragged into Hillary Clinton email scandal after it emerges confidential British intelligence was sent to presidential hopeful's private account. it has emerged that among a host of emails sent and received by Mrs. Clinton from her private account include at least 30 relating to 'foreign government information'. Daily Mail Online
• Sep 25, 2015 -- AP reports Obama administration has found work emails between Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus that she did not turn over. The dates call into question Clinton’s claim that she turned over all work related emails from her home system. The State Dept. says it’s sending the House Benghazi Committee 925 more Clinton Benghazi and/or Libya-related emails that were not previously turned over.

I AM SORRY STAGE

• Sep 08, 2015 -- I AM SORRY STAGE. Hillary finally apologized for her "transgressions". "I'm sorry about that," Clinton said Tuesday during an interview on ABC News' "World News Tonight with David Muir," acknowledging that she should have used separate accounts for work and personal business. "I take responsibility and I am trying to be as transparent as I possibly can."
• Sep 2015 -- analogy with Petraeus scandal (which happened just after Benghazi attacks, 2012) started hurting Hillary. See for example How Gen. David Petraeus Gets It, And Hillary Clinton Still Doesn't huffingtonpost.com, 09/29/2015:

  At one point, we thought General David Petraeus would be a strong candidate for U.S. President. Certainly against this crop of GOP candidates, he’d be the clear front-runner. But then, he shared classified information, and more than that, with his biographer-turned-mistress (Paula Broadwell), according to ABC News, undoing an impressive military career, with plenty of political upside.

  Hillary Clinton, the former New York Senator and Secretary of State, has been the anti-Petraeus. As of last week, she still was claiming to the Associated Press that she had done nothing wrong and her actions were allowed. Even in her “apology,” she was still claiming it was just a “mistake” according to Fox News.
  

  After being briefed on November 8, 2012 President Obama summoned Petraeus to the White House, where Petraeus offered his resignation. Looks like Hillary Clinton is not General Petraeus. She remains the top Democratic contender in the Presidential race.
