Re: Tell me again, why putting sensitive information in the cloud is a good idea?
"why can't a government agency like, say the NSA, provide secure cloud storage for the agencies and their contractors involved?"
Because these days in the US it's all about outsourcing and subcontracting - if a government agency were to do this and these types of configuration errors were discovered then someone would have to resign. But if you sub-contract it nobody gets hurt and many people get rich. Just look at the fall out from Snowden - nothing happened at all but had he been a government employee heads would have rolled and the Republicans would be screaming for blood.
