New Snowden Revelation: Terrorists Attempting To Infiltrate CIA
cold fjord writes "The Washington Post reports, 'The CIA found that among a subset of job seekers whose backgrounds raised questions, roughly one out of every five had "significant terrorist and/or hostile intelligence connections," according to the document, which was provided to The Washington Post by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. The groups cited most often were Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda and its affiliates, but the nature of the connections was not described in the document. So sharp is the fear of threats from within that last year the NSA planned to launch at least 4,000 probes of potentially suspicious or abnormal staff activity .... The anomalous behavior that sent up red flags could include staffers downloading multiple documents or accessing classified databases they do not normally use for their work, said two people familiar with the software used to monitor employee activity.'"
No need for that anymore... guess he saved them alot of effort trying to get in.
This is another reason the NSA et al are foolish to dismiss Snowden as a threat, another reason why he should be embraced as a hero for shining light on a serious problem!
So you are in favor of courtesy notes from burglars then?
Dear Homeowner,
I was able to defeat your expensive alarm system. You should get it checked. The magnetic window sensors don't seem to be working.
For insurance purposes I estimate you lost $20,000 in cash, jewelry, and electronics.

I thought the usual accepted protocol was to tell people about weakness instead of robbing them blind first? You know, sort of like the preferred method of addressing security concerns with software?
