Technically, though, does MAGA really care about "intelligence"? Don't they just care about hate and revenge?



"Now the US director of national intelligence, Gabbard failed to follow basic cybersecurity practices on several of her personal accounts, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal."

Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years

Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.

a password that was used for an email account associated with her personal website; that same password, according to a combolist published in 2019, was used with her Gmail account

OH THE HORROR! :eek:

 
"Security experts advise people to never use the same password on different accounts precisely because people often do so. If a password for one account is revealed in a breach, hackers will often attempt to use it to access other accounts controlled by the same person. Reusing passwords is especially dangerous with email, because a compromised email account can be used to reset credentials for other accounts or systems.

The Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency, the top US government authority on digital security, advises members of the public to use a password manager to generate a different password of at least 16 characters, consisting of random strings of mixed-case numbers, letters, and symbols or at least four unrelated words, for every account they use."

from the Wired article:

As director of national intelligence, Gabbard oversees the 18 organizations comprising the US intelligence community, including the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, and their budget of roughly $100 billion. By statute, she is the principal adviser to the president and the National Security Council on intelligence matters relating to national security, and so is charged with maintaining the security of much of the most sensitive information in the government. The Democratic National Committee, citing a 2019 statement that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was “not the enemy of the United States,” news reports on the support she has enjoyed from Russian state media, and her ties to “conspiracy theorists,” has characterized Gabbard as a “direct threat to our national security.”...

This would have something to it if she were applying this in her current position or not adhering to password policy for her work accounts. God knows there's scores of accounts out there with weak passwords. I don't care about her personal accounts, but whether she's as lax with how she treats secured information. There's nothing indicating that's the case here.

The word on Truth Social is that Tulsi's preferred password is aociswundumho, which doesn't seem weak at all, but I'm sure she has since changed it.

MAGA.
