Perhaps some on the team that were hidden were discovered by the other side and are now at risk. Can no longer be trusted, not because they are not trustworthy, but because they are monitored and blocked by the enemy 24/7/365. They need defending and assistance.
Come on ANONS: DIG and explain to the non-techies.

National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP)
The National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) oversees a national program to evaluate Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Information Technology (IT) products for conformance to the international Common Criteria. This program includes the NIAP-managed Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS or Scheme), a national program for developing protection profiles, evaluation methodologies, and policies that ensures achievable, repeatable, and testable security requirements.
The CCEVS is a partnership between the public and private sectors to provide COTS IT products that meet consumer needs and to help manufacturers of those products gain acceptance in the global marketplace. Successful evaluations benefit industry product developers/vendors and government procurers by validating that the products meet security requirements for U.S. national security system procurement. Because NIAP is a member of the international 28-nation Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), NIAP-validated products are also available to procurers in the CCRA member nations.
IT security testing is conducted by NIST-accredited and NIAP-approved commercial testing labs. A product vendor chooses an approved lab to complete the product evaluation against a selected applicable protection profile. A protection profile is an implementation-independent set of security requirements for a particular technology that enables achievable, repeatable, and testable evaluation activities for each evaluation.
All products evaluated within the Scheme must demonstrate exact compliance to the applicable technology protection profile. NIAP assesses the results of the security evaluation conducted by the lab and, if the evaluation is successful, issues a validation certificate and lists the product on the U.S. NIAP Product Compliant List and the international CCRA Certified Products List. U.S. Customers (designated approving authorities, authorizing officials, integrators, etc.) may treat these mutually-recognized evaluation results as complying with the Committee on National Security Systems Policy (CNSSP) 11, National Policy Governing the Acquisition of Information Assurance (IA) and IA-Enabled Information Technology Products - dated June 2013 (https://www.cnss.gov/CNSS/issuances/Policies.cfm).
