This had nothing to do with encryption. 99.99% of breaches aren't some pen hack, it's social engineering of someone to gain access. You have all the best software and practices in place, but if the dumbass on the fourth floor decides that they're gonna let someone in who's called them from Microsoft, then it doesn't matter.

They let the FBI into the chat because they don't know opsec for shit.

    I agree that you're right. My thought was it was more likely that they socially engineered their way into getting invited to the chat.

    This is why I said that a lot of people are the weakest link in their own secured communications networks.
