    Those of us in technology already knew this was the skillset DOGE was hiring. There was earlier evidence of low technical competence, such as misconfigured email servers.

    This seems particularly bad:

    “I have no way of knowing exactly when Schutt’s computer was hacked, or how many times,” Lee wrote. “I don’t know nearly enough about the origins of these stealer log datasets. He might have gotten hacked years ago and the stealer log datasets were just published recently. But he also might have gotten hacked within the last few months.”

    Edit: Oops. I just noticed I’m commenting in a Cybersecurity Lemmy. Y’all already knew this. I guess I’ll leave it for others who might (also) wander in from All.

      No need for oops, this isn’t my profession, but I’m interested. I see it in Local.

      I’m always happy to learn more from professionals in their field.

        Yeah this hit the “all” feed. Also I don’t think I’ve seen a community referred to as a Lemmy. I like it. It’s somewhat Reddit analogous. I’ve been trying to call them coms.

      You should comment if you want to. Not everyone that follows this community are professionals in tech. And even if pros are reading your comment, they might not know what’s going on politically.
