Security comes at the cost of operational efficiency.

One of the goals of wikileaks was to punish every cut corner of the state apparatus as to force them to increase security and therefore reduce efficiency (ie in a very indirect way the more secure the network the less bombs they can drop on children).

Since the US refuses to invest in anything other than bombs and has no shame about it’s many warcrimes being revealed they basically called this bluff leading to any opposing state with competent infosec being able to go wild with it.
