Summary
Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.
The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.
Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.
The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.
Trumps little fascist circle is gonna get breached. I promise.
There’s no fucking way their team is competent enough to manage their own security. It’s likely that a lot of their data is already getting scraped by corporations.
Nation state actors will have several of their devices compromised before he’s even in office.
Any APT worth their salt will see them as a valuable target. I can’t wait for this shit to splatter all over them.
Too bad we probably wont hear about it for many years if whoever gets in is talented.
This already happened during his first administration. His family was using private e-mail and all of them were using unsecured devices. The news covered it and conservatives covered their ears.
You make it sound like they are ignorant when they are instead hiding evidence of corruption from government servers.
Not my intent. They are for sure up to no good. Even worse it shows their total disregard for our social contract the basic way our gov’t should function at the highest levels. Because, as long as they have power there isn’t any system or institution that can hold them accountable.
The supreme court has shown over and over again they are completely unwilling to police themselves. Yet we are expected to abide by their decisions? Congress ignoring their oath of office failed to remove Trump during his first term. Instead choosing party over country.
We are not a new democracy. The fact that so many of our citizens support this insanity is really sad.
You realize he already was, right? A security researcher in the NL breached Trumps’ Twitter. Twice.
is it a breach if they were invited in?
Yes. Most breaches are through social engineering where you effectively have someone invite you in.
It’s also why most hackers are known to sit in the dark. Most of them are actually vampires.
