Yup. But real Q abt whether security standards maintained. I mean, obviously NSA itself is also a sieve, so maybe no difference, but.

Doesn't NSA adjudicate everyone who works there, contract or civilian?

Yes, people. Though I hope auditors would certify contractor systems too, probably using the best CEH's GS money can buy (we're screwed...)

All I know is NSA lost some of the upstream data described in recent 702 opinion in respositories other than "institutional managed ones."

Collyer, bc she's worst recent FISC presiding judge ever, said, "huh. Maybe you should tell me what that means, when you get around to it"

This, in opinion that also described FBI moving stuff to contractors not approved, does not suggest the respositories adequately vetted
