It seems like the CIA's opsec was bad:
"It didn’t help that during the course of the trial, the CIA was found to have appalling security measures in place: multiple people used the same admin username and password to access the critical servers. Not only that, but the passwords used were weak – 123ABCdef and mysweetsummer being the main two – and on top of that, they were published on the department’s intranet."
