The dumb ass magats insisted that they know what’s best for the country and here we are!
Would not surprise me it’s Malware they created, and moving it to Government machines.
You are assuming they can create malware, I would doubt that....
Would not surprise me it’s Malware they asked ChatGPT to create, and moving it to Government machines.
Much wow
This is a bit sensationalist, anyone who's been online a lot will have a lot of results in haveibeenpwnd... It doesn't automatically mean this guy was severely compromised.
Important to remember misinfo comes from both sides of the aisle.
The second part of the article states that the stealer logs he's shown up in only come from computers infected with malware. And it's possible, even more likely than not, that he used this personal computer for government work.
The topic is more nuanced, all the logs indicate email/password combos that were compromised.
While it is possible this is due to a malware infection, it could be something as simple as a phishing website. In this case, credentials are entered but no "malware" was installed.
The point being it doesn't look great that someone has ANY compromises... But again, anyone who's used the Internet a bit has some compromised. For example, in a password manager (especially the one on iPhone), you'll often be notified of all your potentially compromised accounts.
you're right the reason propaganda is so effective is because everyone thinks they're too smart to fall for it
however, he has so much access that what would normally be considered a typically mundane breach is of serious concern
Quelle surprise...
Populists really use their best people.
