Security protocols are tedious. Powerful folk tend to think that their time outweighs whatever risk the nerds fret about. They are wrong
lifeblood of politics. Modern communication technologies make it easy to carry on multiple conversations in parallel or at once. But convenience comes at a cost to security, as two recent episodes from the top of government show.reported that Ms Truss’s personal phone had been hacked during her tenure as foreign secretary; the paper said that unknown attackers made off with up to a year of messages, including discussions about arms shipments to Ukraine and gossip about Boris Johnson.
A similar attack on a government-issued phone would have been more difficult. But those phones are cumbersome to use. They come with long passwords that must be entered every time they are picked up; you cannot install apps you need to use without the permission of thedepartment; their chat apps tend to be configured with tedious two-factor authentication. And, importantly, the daily chatter with political colleagues is not on that phone. It’s a pain to have two.
