this story<\/a>, apparently NSA has determined that Snowden tricked, cajoled, or conned at least three of his colleagues into providing him their login credentials on NSA systems.\u00a0 (Some of the links in that article are marked FOUO, so if you’re accessing the article from a government computer system use due caution.)\u00a0 Snowden then captured those credentials and used them at later times to gain access to material he would not have otherwise been able to access – and steal.<\/p>\nPreviously, Snowden has denied stealing others’ login credentials.\u00a0 So this documents that Snowden is a damned liar, too (as if we didn’t already know that).<\/p>\n
One of the individuals Snowden duped has since “resigned” from NSA. (I’m guessing it was either that or be fired, as the article states his security clearance had been revoked.)\u00a0 Reportedly, the other two have had their access to NSA systems revoked.\u00a0 Other information in the article indicates the two may possibly face additional disciplinary action.<\/p>\n
Yeah, I’m guessing these folks thought they were simply “helping out” a co-worker by doing what they did.\u00a0 But the guys and\/or gals involved were still being fools when they were duped.\u00a0 Security policies exist for a reason, and bypassing them can really cause problems.\u00a0 Bypassing them did exactly here.<\/p>\n
IMO, this does rather conclusively prove that Snowden was anything but honorable.\u00a0 Honorable people don’t hang their colleagues out to dry like this, or lie through their teeth publicly.\u00a0 This also shows that Snowden meticulously planned his crimes in advance, and actively sought out information he knew he wasn’t authorized to see in order to steal it.<\/p>\n
I hope we one day get our hands on this damned turncoat.\u00a0 Hopefully, that will be when we have an administration running things that knows how to deal with turncoats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
