FBI Probe
In August 2015, an FBI probe of Hillary Clinton's private email extended to Datto after her managed service provider, Platte River Networks, revealed they had been using a Datto server to backup all of the Secretary's emails. [1] The probe sparked a controversy about Datto's company parties that feature hula dancers as well as the claims to major security flaws in their backups. [2] Sen. Ron Johnson expressed "major concerns" that classified information was contained in Datto's servers since they lacked the necessary security clearance. [3]
