Snowden Used Low-Cost Tool to Best N.S.A.-New York Times.
"...used inexpensive and widely-available software."
"The findings are striking because the N.S.A.’s mission includes protecting the nation’s most sensitive military and intelligence computer systems from cyberattacks, especially the sophisticated attacks that emanate from Russia and China. Mr. Snowden’s “insider attack,” by contrast, was hardly sophisticated and should have been easily detected, investigators found."
I'm glad they were incompetent in this case but they were incompetent. I wish they hadn't been incompetent in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack but incompetence is not selective and discriminating. It's non-selective and undiscriminating.
