soldiers-with-top-secret-clearances-were-forced-use-an-app-that-could-endanger-them-they-say

I was able to open the story a different browser and read it. The amount of permissions the app requested seem unreasonable for the purported use of an app. Any app for intelligence personnel should be purpose built created by known developers, requiring the least amount of permissions to achieve its goals, and distributed via a private MAM, not public app stores.

This includes apps that are for "administrative" functions particularly given the permissions it requested. It makes me wonder if perhaps command wasn't trying to find a way to monitor their troops in a less than ethical and mission endangering way.

The Colonel should be relieved, immediately! As should anyone above her who directed such. At last check the military does has some folks who are qualified to in fact develop an app specifically for protected and classified use. The intelligence community of the military needs to be associated with the very least amount of others possible. As Spc Ford mentioned perhaps a tool for the brass to monitor or other agencies.

Can't read it. Paywall.
