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.
They’re firing Inspector Generals? Damn, thats like, expediting the destruction of the federal government.
Edit: for those who don’t know, IGs are independent officials within fed and state agencies that conduct investigations, audits or inspections to employees or agencies.
He illegally fired 17 of them, including one investigating Neuralink, (one of Musk’s companies).
And that’s not a coincidence.
He’s up to over 30 now.
