The guy had multiple layers of plausible deniability encryption for a creepily categorized collection of CP. Investigators were able to see it when he unlocked his cellphone which held relevant stored passwords. As to why this happens more often than you might expect, it's because people that share classified info are all around bad. It's surprisingly uncommon that they are being blackmailed cause of the CP for example. Also this was very young children being abused, horrible indefensible stuff.

> it's because people that share classified info are all around bad Now this statement requires some serious proof. Most of the high profile whistle-blowers have been heroes standing up against the odds to at least let everyone of us know what the state is doing. Camping people like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden 'all around bad' is shameful.

    You haven't made much of an argument.

    So the fact that some propaganda sites have written articles mentioning Manning or Snowden makes them all around bad people? Trump OR Obama site:tass.com OR site:rt.com OR site:sputnik.com 259000 results. I guess they are even worse people, by your twisted logic?

      I just ran the first page of results for Obama site:tass.com OR site:rt.com OR site:sputnik.com through NLTK and the propaganda (your word) is both 20% less neutral and 20% more polarizing than the same for Trump (Trump result is the same as Manning OR Snowden too). So I think you missed my point.

        Your point still makes no sense. The fact that people can be used for propaganda says nothing about them. I'd also mention that Russia Today has some serious journalism interspersed with more problematic content, but I'm sure you'd decide I'm a Russian spy or something if I say that.

  Monday, June 18, 2018 > SCHULTE was previously arrested on August 24, 2017, on charges relating to his receipt, possession, and transportation of approximately ten thousand images and videos of child pornography. In March 2017, members of the FBI had searched SCHULTE’s residence in New York, New York, pursuant to a search warrant and recovered, among other things, multiple computers, servers, and other portable electronic storage devices, including Schulte’s personal desktop computer (the “Personal Computer”). On the Personal Computer, FBI agents found an encrypted container (the “Encrypted Container”), which held over 10,000 images and videos of child pornography. The Encrypted Container with the child pornography files was identified by FBI computer scientists beneath three layers of password protection on the Personal Computer. Each layer, including the Encrypted Container, was unlocked using passwords previously used by SCHULTE on one of his cellphones. Moreover, FBI agents identified Internet chat logs in which SCHULTE and others discussed their receipt and distribution of child pornography. FBI agents also identified a series of Google searches conducted by SCHULTE in which he searched the Internet for child pornography. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/joshua-adam-schulte-charged-unauthorized-disclosure-classified-information-and-other https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/joshua-adam-schulte-cha...

    So a CIA software engineer who was smart enough to use multiple layers of Vera/Truecrypt was dumb enough to google CP on clearnet and keep the passwords to a 10,000+ pic CP archive on his phone? What's more likely, that this guy is a colossal moron or the government is looking for a scapegoat? Also LOL they charged him with copyright infringement (probably for some torrented movies on his hard drives), they really want to throw the book at this guy.
