I don't see any evidence that this should be the case. My email appears in dumps on haveibeenpwnd too, because of database dumps. How is that evidence that there's a key logger on my system? Actually critisizing DOGE for their major gaffes (like putting up easily defaceable websites, or their incompetence when it comes to reading numbers accurately) is important, but this kind of article is just sad and diminishes th…

It means the people in the leak had malware on their computer in the past, and maybe present.
> a strong indication that devices belonging to him have been hacked in recent years. I like these kind of speculative articles. The click bait title states something with certanity than the first sentence clarifies that it is a speculation. I am not sure why we are falling for this click baity garbage, over and over.
The first sentence is actually: > Login credentials belonging to an employee at both the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Department of Government Efficiency have appeared in multiple public leaks from info-stealer malware Does not sound like clickbait for me.

>But some of the datasets that Schutt is included in are much more concerning than normal data breaches because they're from stealer logs.
Logs from information-stealing malware were leaked multiple times, and if your credentials appear in multiple of those, that's reasonably good evidence that you are doing something wrong.
So I don't think the headline is clickbait, but I do think that the Ars article could be clearer in making its point.

> I am not sure why we are falling for this click baity garbage, over and over. Because it's easier to create and broadcast bait than to filter it.
In the long term HN should do something about it, e.g. editoralized titles.

> My email appears in dumps on haveibeenpwnd too, because of database dumps. How is that evidence that there's a key logger on my system? If your password is in the dumps, too, like this person's passwords, then yeah, you might want to look into it.
Indeed the ones getting hacked are more likely to.
I’ve logged onto secondary email accounts from PC’s that weren’t mine and could well have been infected. That’s what 2FA is for.
I wouldn’t use a PC which isn’t mine to login to anything sensitive. A password in a leak isn’t evidence of anything.
