NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

There are many real crises right now – a betrayal of the American people, a truth crisis, a climate crisis – but we are NOT facing an energy crisis.

This isn’t a plan to help Americans – it’s a grift to pad the pockets of Big Oil.

Government civil servants threatened with US marshals. Why? Bc they were defending classified information and security systems from being accessed by Musk’s flying monkeys.

Illegal AF.

All Five Eyes partners need to presume that ALL US government IT systems are now insecure.

Similarly the EU need to treat any data interchange agreements with the US as null and void.

This includes cloud hosting on Azure, AWS and Google (not that anyone uses Google Cloud ;)
Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?
