nigel99 556 #1 Posted February 14 A couple of cybersecurity forums are posting that the DOGE website that Musk setup has database write access exposed and anyone can push updates to the production site. https://www.404media.co/anyone-can-push-updates-to-the-doge-gov-website-2/ The news broke about 8 hours ago and the hack is still live at the moment https://x.com/doge How the fuck does a US .gov domain end up pointing at Twitter and people aren’t up in arms about conflict of interests! This is the team that are digging around and making changes to critical US systems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,058 #5 February 14 Keep in mind that these are the same people who post things like “normalize Indian hate” and “you could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." Another was an intern before he took the DOGE job. A third has all the training he needs; he is a high school graduate who ran the Russian-affiliated website Tesla.Sexy LLC. He was recenty fired from an internship for leaking company secrets. Fortunately he's not in a position where he handles sensitive information. Right?

Right? https://cyberintel.substack.com/p/doge-exposes-once-secret-government I feel really sorry for the sane Americans who are suffering from this shit show. This is a steady stream of cybersecurity screw ups that would get your average intern fired from a mom and pop corner store, never mind agencies responsible for nuclear secrets. It seems that one of the ways doge has been so ‘efficient’ at finding things, has been by doing massive data dumps into public AI services. Julian Assange and Wikileaks are nothing compared to this.

After 4 years of republicans saying very similar things it’s difficult to know how much truth there is to it. But there were some concerning comments by Musk and Trump prior to the election that pointed towards this. On another note, Musk’s claims of 150 year olds on social security seems to originate from not understanding how COBOL date errors are stored/processed. I’ve never liked Musk. For some reason people eat up the message that he’s some super genius at engineering. He’s got the same attitude and message as Trump that “Nobody knows more about … than I do”.

When I was spending a lot of time with my project at the Greensville SC hospital, I was always struck by how similar the values and attitudes were to those in the Middle East. Even the priests clothing was similar. As always it’s not everyone, I met a right wing poster who’s a great guy :) I’m not overly surprised that the US is following in Iran and Afghanistan’s footsteps with becoming a theocracy. There was an article I saw over the weekend that research by women is being taken down and they are being ousted from STEM roles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,514 #16 February 16 Virtually every right wing poster I’ve met is nice in person. Including the one in SC. Às is the case for the left wing ones. The web brings out the worst in most. Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got a huge amount of respect for Bigun and how he manages to stay civil and maintain his values against a tidal wave of opposition and a often people misconstruing what he’s saying. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems Tesla fatality rates are roughly double the industry average, and that doesn’t even account for the Cybertruck that is apparently more unsafe than the Pinto. https://www.cbtnews.com/iseecars-study-reveals-tesla-tops-fatal-accident-rate/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
