Government Email Problems, Wikileaks, Russia, Drone Leaks, NASA Security and Other Counterintelligence Nightmares | Episode 20

Covert Contact kicks off again with an admittedly rambling, but hopefully entertaining, start as I review a number of high profile security issues with counterintelligence pro William Tucker. We look at the hack of DCIA John Brennan's AOL account, Hillary Clinton's email problems, and then ponder the broader risks associated with the personal accounts of key U.S. officials. And while we're at it what's with the curious lack of interest that organizations like Wikileaks have in exposing officials in Russia or North Korea. What's up with that? Then we move on to drone leaks and drone policy before closing out the show with a look at the almost depressingly terrible security practices exhibited by NASA in the Bo Jiang case. Again, it's a bit of a ramble but hopefully a fun one. You can follow William J. Tucker on Twitter and read his guest posts on Blogs of War: Everybody Spies – and for Good Reason Hawaii a Priority Target for Foreign Espionage Would the U.S. Really Kill Edward Snowden?
