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.

Or it was intentional, of course. Losing a phone while travelling is a reasonable cover story.

The phone contained confidential contact details of staff involved in nuclear security work at the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA).

I mean… It’s real stupid to have brought that with him to a different country, but keeping contact info in a phone seems like a reasonable place to keep it idk.

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

Or it’s just clickbait.

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.
