They also have lots of systems which are stand-alone -- not in the sense of "not a member of a Windows domain", but in the sense of "completely isolated from the rest of the world". Zero outside network connectivity. Air gap. Want to transfer a file? Grab a floppy. The wide spread of data reportedly leaked suggest to me that it was prolly an administrative system, used by higher ups for briefings and planning and such (think PHBs and PowerPoint), and thus having lots of data on multiple activites normally kept segregated. One doesn't need the keys to the kingdom, then. Just a small slice of the kingdom, that has a copy of lots of other slices. -- Ben
