Summary
A vulnerability in the new OPM email server allowed anyone to send mass messages to federal employees, exposing poor cybersecurity.
Over 13,000 NOAA staff received spam and vulgar messages, including crude jokes about Trump and bizarre newsletters, causing widespread outrage.
The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.
The unsecured system also inadvertently revealed ties to Project 2025 and a plan to gather government employee data as Trump’s loyalists reshape federal operations.
The upside is that often times throughout history massive actions like what is happening right now are restricted to the start or end of empires. Turns out fucking with how a state functions is a great way for it to collapse, the death of empires is often times slow until its not.
