@Tim_Eagon @clive @WIRED

My first thought was from an #infosec standpoint was “I wonder how much their data is selling for this second.” Cause they have just put targets on themselves that will never go away. They’ve made powerful enemies, and are possibly an open tap to America’s most secure data platform. They’ve just made targets of their families, their girlfriends, and anyone else that can be used to extricate data from them. This is why we have a security protocol and clearance process.

This is so utterly insane I can’t believe I’m seeing it happen.
