@zackwhittaker combine already problematic US IT systems with fantast land of "we all can do LLMs and be cool sysadmins" and I guess here we are.

@zackwhittaker It's just a rolling comedy now

@zackwhittaker thanks for sharing this, Zack.

are you aware what solutions to this problem are being proposed? I'd be very interested to read and share that information.

@zackwhittaker good times.

@zackwhittaker

American defense is a ziploc baggie on a beach trip.

@zackwhittaker I wonder how agentic it was. Every DOGE has it's day, right?

@zackwhittaker 35% of them will still vote for them.

@zackwhittaker

"We make sure that the right people get access and the wrong people don’t: security of identity information is paramount."

oof

@zackwhittaker

"The agency that had the breach also handles ID and login/credential access to U.S. military systems and bases."

why is that not info in the headline?

@zackwhittaker Wow … between this and the FBI, sure seems like a lot of possibilities for trouble.

@zackwhittaker

I wonder if those recent hackings of US government entities are somehow related to that full access the administration gave to DOGE. That musk guy and his colleagues don’t work on behalf of any nation, they only work for themselves.

@zackwhittaker of course they’re unencrypted if they’re in a shared network service because how else would they be usable for anything. You can’t index something you can’t read.
