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.

In cyber security you may never know if a bad actor got access to your systems/data. The issue with not following good security practices is that you increase the risk of this happening.
Its like saying we should stop mandating vaccines cause the diseases aren’t around anymore. When you let down your defenses you end up with outbreaks that shouldn’t have happened and are harder to control.
