Data Breach - Terrorist watch list

Apparently, the United States' classified "no-fly list" was inadvertently disclosed via a publicly-accessible server. 

 

Per the article, DHS (Department of Homeland Security) took three weeks post-disclosure to remove Internet access to the server.

@denbesten   Yes, that was an expensive human mistake once again.  Why are they not using Homomorphic encryption, so if such mistakes occur, only authorised people can access it? 

 

Homomorphic Encryption (HE) refers to a special type of encryption technique that allows for computations to be done on encrypted data, without requiring access to a secret (decryption) key. The results of the computations are encrypted, and can be revealed only by the owner of the secret key.
