A new investigation reveals that Hillary Clinton's home email server could easily have been hacked.

The Associated Press investigation found the system was set up in a way that even low-skilled hackers could have broken into her computer.

Intruders could possibly have gained access via the Internet to remotely control the server Clinton used from her home during her time as secretary of state.

Clinton used the personal server for all her personal and State Department correspondence, in violation of government policy.

Some of the emails found on Clinton's server have now been deemed top secret.

Experts said the Microsoft remote desktop service on Clinton's server wasn't intended for such use without additional protective measures.

They say the remote service was the subject of U.S. government and industry warnings at the time over attacks from even low-skilled intruders.

The AP investigation also learned Clinton ran two other devices from her home that could have been hacked via the Internet.
