Only idiots store confidential data on the phones. And only real imbeciles do that while traveling to foreign and not completely friendly country. And it is bad that imbeciles work for a nuclear agency. Very bad.

Nobody would fuss much because of some phone numbers. There should be something more important.

We mock, but at least it wasn’t a USB flash drive this time.
Loses phone? In China? More like it was stolen.
Don’t a lot of companies have a policy of not bringing your work or even personal phone to China and instead using a burner while you’re there?
It’s a bit nuts that someone working with classified information wouldn’t follow basic opsec practices.
