Material from breaches shows that during a portion of this period, she used the same password across multiple email addresses and online accounts, in contravention of well-established best practices for online security. (There is no indication that she used the password on government accounts.)
It should be interesting considering she’s currently the director of national intelligence yet seemed to learn about security during the time of AOL floppy disks.
Perhaps, but like actual hygiene, not having good digital hygiene stays with you between personal and work personas. It is troubling considering she is the Director of National Intelligence and it’s something which should be a baseline requirement for the position. Regardless of party affiliation, it’s competence we should demand for those in these positions.
If people only knew how many anti/sec professionals do this, this would be in a zone with ASCII art, not Wired, but frankly, after what Poulson and Lamo did to Chelsea Manning, I really don’t expect better from the media specifically marketed to those with an interest in anything tech related. I did before that happened, but after the absolute apathy from the public sector, if not outright hostility toward Ms. Manning, I expected and do expect the absolute worst, for the sake of sweet, profitable clicks. What I continue to be surprised about is how utterly bottomless this particular hole is. Really a black hole more than a mere abyss.
This is… not interesting

Those were the days … free storage sent in the mail or attached to a magazine.
Until it turns out she was using the personal accounts for governmental business…

Indeed!
