      Yeah lmao. Personally I only found out when I was told about it by a friend who happens to work on exactly these kind of things. I’m surprised this isn’t covered more by the news.

      Did you know Elmo also at first refused to secure the servers (as in the physical boxes) meaning anyone could easily steal them and when the INTENSE danger of theft and data leaks was pointed out to him he threw a tantrum before putting a fucking 5 dollar padlock on the door that held the disconnected servers at the time?

      As in the kind of padlock that is notorious for being bog easy to pick and sometimes opens just by bashing it. THAT kind of fucking padlock.

        This reminds me of Trump just throwing a bunch of classified nuclear weapons documents in some unlocked storage closet at marlago.
