9 of the 15 files shared in the #GoogleDrive folder were marked #CUI for “controlled unclassified information,” which refers to “sensitive information that does not meet the criteria for classification but must still be protected”…. At least 10 of the shared files allowed #GSA employees not only to view but also edit the content.
…the #GSA oversharing, which continued over at least 4 years, also suggests a pattern of sloppy handling of sensitive information that spans both the #Trump & #Biden admins.
The records reviewed by WaPo did not specify whether the East & West Wing plans, the blast door details, or the banking information were #classified.
[And on Sunday it was revealed that the #Signal chat “Houthi PC small group chat” was not the only Signal group chat that divulged #military operational details prior to the attacks. #Hegseth set up another group chat that included his wife & brother called the “Defense | Team Huddle” chat where he shared the same info as in the “Houthi PC small group chat”.]
The #GoogleDrive incident is the latest digital #security lapse for the #Trump admin. Last month, top officials inadvertently included the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine in an unclassified chat used to discuss highly sensitive #military planning, & Trump’s #NationalSecurity adviser & his staff used personal #Gmail accounts for government communications, which experts described as insufficiently secure, The Post reported.
The records show that the employees inadvertently shared a #GoogleDrive folder containing the sensitive documents with the entire #GSA staff, which totals >11,200 people, acc/to the agency’s online directory.
The information shared also included the details of a proposed blast door for the #WhiteHouse visitor center, the records show, as well as #bank account information for a vendor who assisted with a #Trump admin news conference.
