They probably figured out an individual's password. Maybe the system shouldn't allow outside access to individuals with just a password, but it isn't really that shocking that they got into it.

I like how grandiose that tweet is, as if Xi Jinping starts every meeting by making fun of a few felony mug shots, look at the mustache on this guy, hahaha.

Well that is exactly my point. If that is indeed possible, then why? Who is running the American government networks? Are they really so naive?

They are just like every IT worker in a large non-software industry: instructed by their boss that more important employees than you are currently unable to do their jobs because of your security restrictions, so remove them or be fired.
