“I was amazed every day that I didn't get caught. Towards the end, I was looking at, you know, hundreds of documents a day. There's no legitimate business need to look at hundreds of documents a day.”

I only ever connected those two together with like a physical cable. I only ever put files on things like thumb drives. And that meant that I knew that I had a closed ecosystem.

Now she had a system. Take the work laptop, open document, close the slider, take a picture with the clean phone, store on her clean laptop.

Because taking the pictures was only half the problem. Frances still had to open every single one of those documents on her Facebook laptop. And Facebook could see that.

I could have looked through the five documents that I read organically over the course of the day at home and no one would have ever noticed. But if you look at hundreds of documents in one go, you'll leave breadcrumbs saying, wow, that person suddenly is looking at a lot more information than they…

And the riskiest stuff, she saved for last.
