From the linked article: > user names and passwords for logging in to various accounts belonging to Schutt have been published at least four times since 2023 in logs from stealer malware . So this isn't from website dumps with plaintext passwords.

Them not naming the sites is pretty telling.

They're linking to the original source of the news, which literally names "the sites".

>a suspension of offensive cyber operations against Russia in March. uhhh... why are we commiting offensive cyber operations against a nuclear power? Somewhere in your line you seems to think that it's justified? And that biden was doing the right thing by provoking a major power? Some people just want the world to burn, and when someone puts out the fire, they think that's unamerican?

> why are we commiting offensive cyber operations against a nuclear power? Maybe because they are doing it too ?

Such Biden logic that ended with us launching missiles into russia. A constant escalation with no real end in sight and always matching "tit-for-tat- instead of trying to solve the root issue.

You don't think trump is actively involved in negotations with russia to stop all this madness?

Don't you think that one of the first signs of good faith in negotations would be to stop attacking eachother?

All thee DOGE dudes are destined to spend life imprisoned on Alcatraz. The scope of the antics done by these people and the downright disregard for security, ethics, law, and the Constitution, all make them the right people to make examples of.

Alcatraz is a tourist attraction so while perhaps not somewhere I'd choose to live it also has routine ferries that you can just leave on.

Their boss is talking about reopening Alcatraz. I suspect that's what sys_64738 is referencing.

The caveat is that intentional stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

In law we shouldn't be focused on ignorance and cluelessness. The outcome of what they have allowed is the crime. All the DOGE dudes need life without parole.

idk the law differentiates between "attempted but failed murder" / "accidental murder" / "successful(?) murder"

...maybe your "law" is some ancient eye-for-eye kind of law instead of some modern stuff?

Yep, headline doesn't say it is his current computer or anything, just that his computer was infected. It would be clickbait if it said his current computer is actively infected. Less clickbait than now if it said one of his computers appears to have been infected at some point.

Cannot tell if it's sarcasm or not. Obviously everyone who reads the headline assumes it's his current computer, and it had some, uh, consequences. That's why they click. That's what makes it clickbait. Nobody would care otherwise. (Also, if you are willing to be pointlessly formal, it goes in both directions, since it can be argued that a computer, which belongs to a person, who in the future will become DOGE's soft…

> Nobody would care otherwise.

If his accounts were compromised after the computer was (as article indicates), people would still care. It included Greenfield too, so potentially has password reuse risk.

And also asked Russian intelligence services to hack his opponent in 2016, which they did the next day.

you could not make this shit up, right!?

There was specifically the televised "Russia, if you're listening..." quip followed by the release of the DNC emails.

Do you actually believe that? Do you not think that at least SOME OF THEM, are working their asses off to save american tax payer dollars? Can you point to any of the contracts in the wall of savings that have saved billions of dollars and disagree with any of them? https://doge.gov/savings

Did you look through that page before posting it? Currently, the default list of biggest savings is topped by things like eliminating a refugee intake facility, various HHS programs making sure public housing meets basic standards of habitability, and eradicating polio.

Is the argument that government was so efficient before that eliminating these seemingly useful programs was the best and only way to save taxpayer dollars?

I guess we just disagree on what's important. $2.9B for 3,000 children. That's 967K per child. What in the actual fuck? https://www.fpds.gov/common/jsp/LaunchWebPage.jsp?command=ex...

Edit: the contract was 3.3B, so that changes the calculus to 1,109,966.78 per child. Haven't seen the facility, but i highly doubt they are staying in million dollar condos, but if they are... there are better ways to do that.

$1,136,436,294.65 for paying their legal services... Why are we paying a billion dollars for legal services of a program we have discontinued?

1,021,000,000 to eradicate polio... Of which that last case in the united states was in 2022... Polio is all but irradicated here in the united states.

We just seem to disagree with what's important and what's wasteful. You could build a brand new city for those amounts in the private sector.

Why so abstract? It is because republicans in the Congress are supporting Trump policies. They are doing nothing, because they want this to happen.

Why don't people rise up against dictators in other parts of the world?

Dictators around the world have supporters who do not rise against them, because they are completely on board with their agenda.

Trump and his policies are to large extend logical extension of what republican party pushed for and wanted for years. Conservatives wanted exactly this, pressed for exactly this, made this happen. Plus, they are not just tolerating, they are actively defending it, sane-washing it more then mainstream media.

And yet also, they all have choices. They are not at risk the same way people living under dictatorship are. They made choice to support this party again and again, because they agree with it.
