Summary
A report by German magazine Der Spiegel revealed that personal data of top Trump administration security officials, including phone numbers, emails, and some passwords, were accessible online via commercial data-search engines and hacked databases.
Affected officials include National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The data exposure raises security risks, including potential spyware attacks.
The leak follows the Signal scandal, where classified military plans were discussed on an unsecured chat.
Everyday I open lemmy and see a new article about the US government leaders, I’m like “No way, that tittle is misleading” and the article is exactly what the tittle says. It would be pure comedy if it didn’t affect so many people.
The thing is, this is how it was in 2016-2020. It was batshit insanity every day, all day. It was so exhausting and incomprehensible.
And . . . here we are again. Why.
My recollection might be biased, but I remember Trump more isolated. Today all the Republicans seem align, the oligarch are tamed and the political opposition divided.
On the plus side they gave us some incredible moments: when I feel a bit down I remember the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference. Puts a smile on my face just reading this in my head!
