re: #1 Kragar

I also work in a classified environment. Had a guy who tried this with me and we had him canned in 2 days.

If true, then everyone involved deserves to be fired.

Everybody with access to government systems gets regular training on this, and for the love of Gawd it’s the NSA, so they should fucking know better.

I’m guessing a lot of the time the training doesn’t get translated over to real life. “Yeah, the training said not to give your password out to anybody including SAs, but Ed says he needs it so it must be an exception.”
