Summary

A vulnerability in the new OPM email server allowed anyone to send mass messages to federal employees, exposing poor cybersecurity.

Over 13,000 NOAA staff received spam and vulgar messages, including crude jokes about Trump and bizarre newsletters, causing widespread outrage.

The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.

The unsecured system also inadvertently revealed ties to Project 2025 and a plan to gather government employee data as Trump’s loyalists reshape federal operations.

    That’s the frightening part … either they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans … or they are following a well orchestrated plan of disruption and chaos to gain control of everything and everyone

    Either way, they are undoing a lot of things that will take years or decades to bring back

      It’s much easier to fight a enemy that is confused, disorganized, and fighting amongst itself. This is by design.

      Incompetence is one of the hallmark qualities of a fascist government.

        Hey, people think Hitler’s Germany was a success story until he started to loose the war but it was actually a clusterfuck right from the beginning and doomed to fail from the start.

          I mean, he loosed war pretty early, so it wasn’t that long according to what you say.

      Just wait until all the backdoors are discovered. Or front doors I guess…with how inept these idiots are. Can’t wait for someone with some power/money to actually get sick of these clowns and just end them

      This is what the accelerationists didn’t account for.
