    The journalist should’ve had it all encrypted.

    Future journalists need to have solid encryption protocols, open source stuff we can vet, so leakers know they can trust talking to them, and can know how they are vulnerable and how not.

      Assuming there aren’t any backdoors in whatever encryption she did use, I’m gonna assume the journalist was taking measures to protect her informants. Here’s hoping the pants-shitting incompetence of the MAGAt administration prevents them from identifying the whistleblowers.
