Biggest Wikileaker Joshua Adam Schulte Sentenced to 40 years

sorry to break your little bubble but it doesnt work like that in the real world. Even if you opened every single secret in your country, there are hostile countries out there that wont share the same goodwill with you. Even if both of you told each other "look these are all my secrets" there is always the lingering question whether that was everything or not. I think this is called Prisoner's dilemma iirc

How about you start sharing yours to demonstrate a no secret world?

You will soon realised it won't work right?

Hard agree. Better compartmentalization should be the norm. A true need-to-know basis policy requires way more discipline than we have today. That requires every level to actually be competent enough to deeply analyze the problems they're trying to solve and generalize their requirements. SOL on that these days.

That attitude is insane and politically naive.

Yout biggest peer competitor copy-pasted your military technology because you can't keep secrets.

You made your allies poor by taking away the advantage of research and you can't stop China from owning American technology for free.

The volcanic rage that attitude generates, is building sight unseen to the precious snowflakes hiding behind soon-to-be worthless Aircraft carriers.

Ctrl C, Ctrl V is a warcrime.

> Secrets are for the weak.

Care to share your name, home address, and social security number?

Unless you're weak sauce, that is.

They did and do this, however 911 happened partially because the FBI, CIA, and NSA weren’t sharing information with each other.

The more you compartmentalise the more obviously you decrease efficiency of your operations.

But then you are competing with other countries, these countries may be compartmentalising less and be more efficient due to that and then you will get beaten by these countries.

If you compartmentalise extremely few will have good idea of the full picture, and from my experience I know that it's really hard to work without knowing full picture or why exactly you are doing something.

It doesn't work in practice. Everything ends up siloed and nobody can compares notes even if they think to do so.

Snowden was a network admin with access to backups or something IIRC so compartmentalization does little. He stole the parent container.

At some level, you have to trust people. Mandatory job rotation goes a long way. You don't want people becoming familiar enough with any system to learn how to exploit it. Move them around to change the rules of their environment faster than they can find loopholes, and occasionally change the tech stack to nullify retained knowledge.

And the access log? Lol. Best way to figure out who's onto you is to take a peek at the list of who's asking about you and what their interest is. You've just compromised the investigative team in implementing this.

The most irritating resume-updating event going on at my own job right now is an arbitrary shift to using retarded APT-style codenames for individual humans under investigation.

It used to be bad enough if the subject was trans and changed names halfway through the investigation, but now all identities are obfuscated by some FozzyBear or WakaWaka bullshit. It makes presenting a coherent timeline impossible.

Ideally there'd be a CMS that implements EAV row-level access controls for case management so we can selectively disclose case intel to other teams but I haven't found a good one we can afford.
