US Military Will Soon Begin Testing NSA's New, Post-Snowden Security Measures (dailydot.com)
Patrick O'Neill writes: The U.S. military will closely review the NSA's security measures as concerns mount that foreign adversaries and independent hackers are targeting the American government in cyberspace. "We will determine whether National Security Agency processes and technical controls are effective to limit privileged access to National Security Agency systems and data and to monitor privileged user actions for unauthorized or inappropriate activity," Carol Gorman, the Pentagon's assistant inspector general, wrote in the letter.
Are you really "Snowde-proof"? That is most impressive .... if true. Even if you support what he did you must know that Snowden went through considerable long term effort to obtain a position of trust with high level (root) system access, repeatedly abused that trust, repeatedly lied to his management and coworkers (reportedly fooling some of them into giving him their passwords), and massively violated the trust he was extended. In short, Snowden broke tons and tons of laws, and committed tons and tons of crimes to achieve his goals. And you think that can't happen to you? You're either amazing or endowed with epic hubris.
