No one is entertaining the possibility that this was done on purpose?
I assume it's a honeypot. Is anyone dumb enough to try to use these?

#22Did they recruit their personnel from DOGE?
Fun fact, despite shutting it down as an abject failure, all the people from DOGE were rolled into the government and given jobs. The irony is unbearable and par for the course with this admin.

#23It's very odd that the author can't just report on this extremely basic security error without diverting on to Trump.
It's because Trump fired Krebs. It's hard to trust him anymore, when it's shown he can't keep his political bias out of security.

Complaining about Trump is useful as a free-speech canary. When the complaints start being silenced, you know we're in trouble.
I would think a canary should be more obviously for that purpose. There's no secret committee or group understanding deciding these things. Trump complaints function much better as a dogwhistle, so that's what they are. Everyone is very tired of them regardless of political stance. At this point, observing a lack of complaints won't mean anything other than someone catching their breath.
I mean, you can be tired of both the frivolous complaints and also tired of having a moron for a president. I’m tired of people complaining about stuff that is symbolic and unimportant like the ballroom but I’m much more tired of every competent person in government being fired and replaced with alcoholic podcasters.

Maybe it was UFOs that came down and hacked the gibson to leak two unimportant AWS accounts' IAM users

Getting tired of complaints about trump means what he's doing and who he is is being normalized, bit by bit. Don't get tired, get angrier.

He fired Christopher Krebs. This is Brian Krebs, a long time cybersec blogger. They're apparently unrelated.

Would you prefer the alcoholic media moguls of the democrats? I didn't want to reply, but this was too funny to ignore.
As painful as it's been to watch, above all else I think what Trump has done is open people's eyes to their own biases. Hopefully we can heal and do better.

I can't imagine how that is connected to dumping API keys in a public repo.
