Does anyone know how such a thing was pulled off? I mean, it is not like taking a paper clip from office. This is mind boggling amount of information - how can someone copy so much info and send it to a newspaper etc without setting off red flags? This is incredible.



A single HDD worth of content isn't a mind boggling amount of information.

It could be quite accessible by someone like the IT and e-mail administrator.
