This alone would be the biggest scandal to topple a presidency back in the old days.

In these times, this is just Thursday.

Guys... I'm starting to think we may have overstated the "genius" part of "evil genius".

I’ve read multiple articles recently about these Trump Admin “experts” being hacked. Seems like the resistance is ramping up.

Lets hope they hate Elon & the Orange Cancer Cult. Information works in many directions.
Reject fascism!

But but but but but I thought they were super mega geniuses!

In an honest world, this incident would indict the entire team of failing in the most basic aspect of running an information operation: keeping the information private.

This is a well-understood, if often poorly implemented, task.

What a surprise that he had/has an account with Post Millennial.

Probably malware created by them

... and we have *no idea* what backdoors or other hacks the children of doge installed on our nation's largest databases.

I assume Musk has “kill switch” code embedded in every federal network.

"At this point it's difficult not to suspect their awful 0pSec is a choice and that there are specific people (*ahem* *cough cough* the Russians *cough*) to whom they're leaking secrets, with incompetence being merely plausible deniability for their true, treasonous agenda.”

🎯! Russia &/or P Thiel

jedilaw.bsky.social•3 days ago

The age of the culprits is also part of plausible deniability. Of course they make mistakes, they’re so young.

The guy in the article is experienced in tech and 38 years old though.
"38-year-old software engineer Kyle Schutt. Schutt’s background includes roles in tech startups, notably as the chief technology officer at Kerplunk, an AI-driven interviewing platform." (source below)

He knows what he is doing.

Do you ever feel like one of these days you’re gonna sigh so hard that your whole body just deflates like a popped balloon animal? Or those air dancers when the fan turns off?

Cause I do.

I would expect all the intelligence services compromising them to kick out the easily detectable stuff :P

Will the government have to establish an entirely new social security numbering system and reassign numbers to everyone if and when this regime ends? Is there any entity that doesn't have our personal data yet?
