I need clarification from the #cososec community on this.
Even if Texiera had access to SIPR with the appropriate clearances for that work, docs like these wouldn't be sent in the clear no matter how secure the network is, because any network can be compromised. They would be sent in encrypted containers, with decryption keys only the intended recipients would have, right?
Too many explanations I'm seeing online don't add up.
i'm guessing you didn't see the article i posted earlier. here's the link again:
according to that article, this kid [whom they called 'OG' in his online group] laboriously TRANSCRIBED the documents for distribution to the group.
that's part of the enormity of his crime. he specifically took steps to get around the elaborate security measures the government had taken to protect the documents.
