Alright, so where the f- was the NSA (et al.) in all this?
I would presume that, given sufficient background -- which, presumably, under these circumstances they could insist upon -- it should have taken them about 5 minutes (or seconds) to figure out this scenario.
We spend untold amounts sifting possibly every email crossing a domestic -- and probably many a foreign -- nexus. But when identification/authorization for a defense contractor -- and probably a lot more than one such agent of critical infrastructure -- is compromised, they aren't involved and ahead of the curve in mitigation?
Probably, certainly, there's a lot that the public isn't being told. But the silence is -- whether due to circumstances or to omission -- unsettling.
The silence may be purposeful, even productive. But it does not sit well against the caterwauling of those who insist we make our private, personal communications ever more transparent to government inspection.
