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).
