This had nothing to do with encryption. 99.99% of breaches aren’t some pen hack, it’s social engineering of someone to gain access. You have all the best software and practices in place, but if the dumbass on the fourth floor decides that they’re gonna let someone in who’s called them from Microsoft, then it doesn’t matter.
They let the FBI into the chat because they don’t know opsec for shit.



Lost internship.
Apologized to Hickam, said no biggie, he was a Vietnam vet, and is 75 has no real idea on the whole Internet thing. And was just trying to tell her to watch out, cause nasa looks at social media.
Writes blog post detailing that he thought it was no biggie.
NASA calls, askes if she wrote the tweets, she lies, says no. Then loses internship.
Hickam tried to get her the internship back but no dice.
Speculation that 4chan or kiwifarms mass reported it to NASA and this helped get her fired. (She is a furry and trans). If you don’t know about KW farms…just know it’s literally a bunch of nazi fucks…
That’s the TL;DR or TL;DL
