The technical details for this brouhaha, if I'm interpreting them correctly, sound like they might approach Dilbert levels of managerial incompetence. From Saturday's NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/08/us/politics/behind-clash-between-cia-and-congress-a-secret-report-on-interrogations.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/08/us/politics/behind-clash-b... The room designated for the staff, called the “electronic reading room,” was a spartan office with tables and computers set against the walls and a large conference table in the middle. ... According to a recent court filing in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the C.I.A. created a “network share drive” segregated from the main agency network, a provision intended to allow the committee to work in private. ... It is unclear how or when committee investigators obtained parts of the Panetta review. One official said that they had penetrated a firewall inside the C.I.A. computer system that had been set up to separate the committee’s work area from other agency digital files, but exactly what happened will not be known until the Justice Department completes its inquiry. ... By then, C.I.A. officials had come to suspect that committee investigators working at the Virginia facility had seen at least a version of the internal review. Senior officials at the agency ordered a search of several years’ worth of digital audit logs that the C.I.A. uses to monitor its computer systems. So, based on that very vague description, I'm imagining someone set up an ad-hoc SharePoint server, dumped a bunch of PDFs and MS Office docs on a file system, and absent-mindedly left the C$ share open, and then maybe someone accessed the server as an SMB share, and it showed up in the event logs, and now it's snowballed into "ZOMG u 1337 h4ck3rz, u pwnt mai FIREWALLZ!!!1one" But never let a good disaster go to waste, right?
