A CIA hacker "left his phone full of passwords, and his computer full of encrypted child sex assault material". This doesn't sound weird to you?

- criley2 4y agoNot really, opsec is a fascinating thing but in my personal experience very very few people, even trained professionals, actually go through the hassle of rigorous opsec for their personal projects and lives. The idea that a CIA hacker didn't follow rigorous opsec is about as believable as the idea that the NSA left their hacking tools publically available https://thehackernews.com/2016/09/nsa-hacking-tool-exploits.html https://thehackernews.com/2016/09/nsa-hacking-tool-exploits.... Although, based on the strength of the assumption that it must be planted, I would say that working for the CIA would be a strong cover for a pedophile, since it's apparently impossible in the public eye for someone there to authentically trade in CSAM
