#1 This is an issue that has been neglected so far when it comes to information security and data theft.

Data that hasn't been encrypted by the user himself becomes directly accessible to a service provider once it is stored on the service provider's it infrastructure.

At least some, but realistically many employees, often residing in third countries will have legitimate (according to the provider's policy) and untraceable access to this data.

When Huma mailed secret documents to her Yahoo account in order to print them out, she gave the Yahoo corporation access to these documents.

There was no need to 'hack' or steal passwords, Yahoo employees had untraceable access. So had the countries on whose territory the data was physically stored.

#2 When Huma mailed secret documents to her Yahoo account in order to print them out, she gave the Yahoo corporation access to these documents.

Yahoo was the least of the problems there. She was sending them via her Muslim Brotherhood employed parents to whatever jihadists they saw fit.

Skid's story reminds me that during Obama's last term, Saudi then the USA had the most muzzie twitter supporters.
