Zero details or sources other than one disgruntled employee, yeh I’m not buying this at all. They probably count azure or AWS as a “random cloud server”.

What cloud servers are they using?

Given it’s the government it’s most likely AWS or Azure. That really isn’t inherently bad, it’s more the attitude of “move fast and break things” doesn’t necessarily work for secure systems with sensitive data.

So again, it’s all just bullshit hopes and dreams by the anti-doge people. No data has been exposed or hacked, no evidence of it actually being on anything insecure.

Yeah, god forbid we have people who aren’t fucking idiots taking care/maintaing our information.

Don’t recognize clanker pronouns, that’s a bot!

But again - this has zero information. What cloud storage is it on? How is it not secure?
