First we had the head of our military hold meetings on a public chat app.

Now we have the head of the FBI have his personal email hacked by Iran agents.

Iran has an easy job because Patel’s password was ISUCKTRUMPSDICK.

Of course, this is not surprising. I’m sure all of our enemies have successfully hacked all our systems because we elected a fucking moron who, in turn, placed fucking morons in key positions of government (100% approved by Republican Senators).

And 30-35% of Americans continue to support the worst enemy our country has ever faced - Donald Trump.

We are so screwed.

There's generally a shortfall in security awareness, risk thoughtfulness, etc, in appointed staff. I saw this in both the Bush and Obama WH...we did what we could to lessen the risk. I'm sure it is two orders of magnitude worse now. It was all we could do to get them to not send the POTUS schedule for the next day to gmail recipients...

There are a lot of attack surfaces in cyberspace. Generally, if government actors are (correctly) using .gov and .mil addresses, and web pages for their Sharepoints or JIRA or whatever they use for coordination, and government issued devices that get a reasonable amount of defensive measures put on them, it makes you not the low hanging fruit.

Gmail? Personal whatever phone? Rando home computer/tablet? Naw dog, nation states gonna get dat azz.

"Our country" --- stop that nationalistic Beaver Cleaver shit.

Look around.

Stop the fiction.
