Patriot. Whistleblower. /

And back in 2009, Snowden’s superiors at his former post with the CIA sent him home from Geneva because they suspected he “was trying to break into classified computer files to which he was not authorized to have access.”

So the CIA still can’t find its ass with both hands. I can’t tell you how secure that makes me feel.

Snowden apparently told his fellow employees that the credentials “were needed for him to do his job as a computer systems administrator.”

Look, I understand your average office worker might be fooled by that kind of social engineering / social hacking crap.
However, if the guys with access to highly sensitive information get taken in with this sort of rubbish, you really, really have a problem of epic proportions. this should *not* ever happen in such circles; and how instruction/protocol on security matters can possibly be *so* lax as to let this come even remotely close to happening, I really cannot fathom.

Ahem, if these guys are that lax, why should I believe them about this allegedly careful custody of all that metadata? Good intentions are a good start.

Trust, but verify.

If they’re that lax, I actually trust them more with the metadata…a competent and amoral agency is scary.

This…not so much.

How stupid are NSA employees? Even my kids know that you never share your passwords with anybody.
