British intel intern pleads guilty to smuggling top secret data out of protected facility.
Nothing about this makes sense.
1. A 25 year old intern.
No shade to interns but seems a bit old.
2. Intern had access to top secret intel.
Again nothing against interns, but give them access to top secret intel?
3. Intern uploaded top secret intel to a hard drive connected to his personal computer?
Why is anyone allowed to bring a personal phone int a facility that accesses top secret intel? Ever hear about a SCIF?
Either the story is missing a ton of facts or the British GCHQ had terrible operational security.

So, #GCHQ have 1. Interns that are 2. given TS clearance and 3. can export classified materials to external devices or storage media...
(And doing a wild qualified guess: 4. can also import malicious data into TS accredited systems).

questo è molto interessante e non mi sorprende che a scrivere sia un giornalista di razza come #DuncanCampbell che per primo pubblicò nome del segretissimo #GCHQ,gemello inglese della #NSA:
[inglese]
Jahrelange #Wirtschaftsspionage durch #NSA & #GCHQ – und Deutschland schaut zu. Keine Abkopplung von US-Diensten, keine digitale #Souveränität. Wer sich so demütigen lässt, ist nicht regierungsfähig! #DigitalesVersagen
I've seen this kind of politicisation of #GCHQ -- #NCSC's parent org -- security advice before... Always a risk of subordinating your protective security to a giant surveillance machine
I and others recommended when it was set up that it be part of the #CabinetOffice /cc @lucyfisher.ft.com
