13. From the previous link:

Greenwald installed encryption software and began communicating with the stranger. Their work was organized like an intelligence operation, with Poitras as the mastermind. “Operational security — she dictated all of that,” Greenwald said. “Which computers I used, how I communicated, how I safeguarded the information, where copies were kept, with whom they were kept, in which places. She has this complete expert level of understanding of how to do a story like this with total technical and operational safety. None of this would have happened with anything near the efficacy and impact it did, had she not been working with me in every sense and really taking the lead in coordinating most of it.”

Poitras, of all people, should've known that printing out a password was the worst thing you could possibly do. The responsibility falls on her. It's possible GG was a patsy now that I'm looking at this. His own self-admitted ignorance of security culture just underscores it.
