British intel intern pleads guilty to smuggling top secret data out of protected facility.

Nothing about this makes sense.

1. A 25 year old intern.

No shade to interns but seems a bit old.

2. Intern had access to top secret intel.

Again nothing against interns, but give them access to top secret intel?

3. Intern uploaded top secret intel to a hard drive connected to his personal computer?

Why is anyone allowed to bring a personal phone int a facility that accesses top secret intel? Ever hear about a SCIF?

Either the story is missing a ton of facts or the British GCHQ had terrible operational security.

Text from article(edited for length): Conceivably, Waltz, by coordinating a national-security-related action over Signal, may have violated several provisions of the Espionage Act, which governs the handling of “national defense” information, according to several national-security lawyers interviewed by my colleague Shane Harris for this story.... He did not show them the actual Signal messages or tell them specifically what had occurred. All of these lawyers said that a U.S. official should not establish a Signal thread in the first place. Information about an active operation would presumably fit the law’s definition of “national defense” information. The Signal app is not approved by the government for sharing classified information. The government has its own systems for that purpose. If officials want to discuss military activity, they should go into a specially designed space known as a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF—most Cabinet-level national-security officials have one installed in their home—or communicate only on approved government equipment, the lawyers said. Normally, cellphones are not permitted inside a SCIF, which suggests that as these officials were sharing information about an active military operation, they could have been moving around in public. Had they lost their phones, or had they been stolen, the potential risk to national security would have been severe.

Did a little page of random folks. Felt a little creatively stifled lately so was just bashing up weird ideas to get things flowing. I love drawing stuff af like 2-3 inches, it's ao freeing to not worry about getting things perfect. My personal favourite is the sort of desert spear guy or maybe bug in armour based off a Victorian dress. Some of these might become minis. #drawing #scif

@GottaLaff
The claim that "other officials took #ClassifiedDocs" is simply not true.

Yes, other former presidents were found with documents "in their possession" after leaving office, but those items were taken by accident, packed by others along with personal belongings.

#DarthTraitor stole HUNDREDS of documents…many of them #SCIF level classified, which he refused to return when asked REPEATEDLY by the FBI, contending "THEY'RE MINE!" 🍼

Outside radiation sensors burn out quickly and must be replaced every month.
Life expectancy is short for those who do it, so they aren't exactly volunteers, but rather selected from among the surviving architects of the Great War: mostly politicians, sold-out journalists, corporate magnates and warmongering officers, but not exclusively.

Svetlana and Carlos, two of the world's greatest mountain climbers, hoped to discover the answer to a great mystery at the top of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third tallest mountain in the world. But what they found was beyond anything they imagined.

Enjoy my short story, "The Mountain Climbers."
