Always remind yourself that there will come a time when you miss these days.
While the best is yet to come, one day you will look back at these times with nostalgia.
We are making history 🇺🇸

"Word of a catastrophic failure in CIA operational security initially surfaced in 2018, when Yahoo! News reporters Zach Dorfman and Jenna McLaughlin revealed "a compromise of the agency’s internet-based covert communications system used to interact with its informants."
The duo's report indicated that the system involved a website and claimed "more than two dozen sources died in China in 2011 and 2012" as a result of the compromise. Also, 30 operatives in Iran were said to have been identified by Iranian intelligence, fewer of whom were killed as a consequence of discovery than in China."
Oh so Iran killed fewer of the US intelligence assets they caught? Awesome. 🙄

It's almost a decade later and reporters can still find the CIA websites on the Wayback Machine and trigger the secret comms.
