‘They’re like seeing our nuclear secrets.'” They don’t have security clearances, thus none of it is accurate. Two NNSA networks were among the data purportedly on Farritor and Ramada’s PCs.
While the second is known as the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), which the Department of Defense (DOE) uses to communicate.
With DOE about the warheads, the first is purportedly used to exchange “restricted data” on the designs of the nuclear weapons, among other things.
According to NPR, access to these networks requires a “Q” clearance, which is often a drawn-out procedure but may sometimes be expedited. Information on SIPRNet is classified at the secret level,
And if it were ever to leak, it “could potentially damage or harm national security if it were to get out,” a former Department of Defense employee told the outlet.
One of the publication’s sources claims that the two would have just served as a “toehold” into the network, allowing them to ask DOE employees for secret material.
When they told NPR, “They’re getting a little further in, it’s something to make note of,” “It could lead to something bigger.”
