I had to check the article because no way is someone stupid enough to share CSAM using a work email account.
Turns out "between work emails" just means he was sharing the content at the same time as he was active on his work email account. That's fucked up enough as it is, do we really need a clickbaity headline to make it sound worse?
The wording is perfectly cromulent.
Ya, you'd think.....
When I was a FedGov contractor working in cybersecuirity, we had a case come through our office of a guy downloading CSAM on his government issued laptop. I was glad I wasn't the unlucky analyst who discovered that one.
