Its more about who has clearance and vetting process and proper network/system access. . I blame mgmt not the big teenager. .

I can't go along with that line of thinking. He signed an agreement for his top-secret clearance designation acknowledging that any divulgence of secret information could result in severe consequences. He may be young and immature, but that doesn't excuse his actions. In WWII there was a saying that was posted at just about every location, and I mean every location - buildings, telephone poles, you name it "Loose Lips Sink Ships" We don't have a clue what damage has been done by his "immaturity" but our credibility with other countries has been severely damaged.
