The CIA's communications suffered a catastrophic compromise. It started in Iran.

1. This occurred between 2009 and 2013, according to article

2. Another Google betrayal

In fact, the Iranians used Google to identify the website the CIA was using to communicate with agents. Because Google is continuously scraping the internet for information about all the world’s websites, it can function as a tremendous investigative tool — even for counter-espionage purposes. And Google’s search functions allow users to employ advanced operators — like “AND,” “OR,” and other, much more sophisticated ones — that weed out and isolate websites and online data with extreme specificity.

4. Google's fault? NO!

The article states that the communication net the CIA was using to communicate with agents was not sophisticated nor secure enough, so that simple Google searches could reveal users!

This is extremely concerning.

5. I agree with you.

My reference was to the fact that Google was also used by those hacking our elections. In addition, most responsible, major media sources review and withhold information that could harm our intelligence community.

3. I wonder how much help Iran got when Ledeen and Libby gave up CIA informants?

And Ledeen and his wife were still active in 2016 trying to hack Hillary’s emails
