“Basically, doge.gov has its codebase, probably through GitHub or something,” the other developer who noticed the insecurity said. “They’re deploying the website on Cloudflare Pages from their codebase, and doge.gov is a custom domain that their pages.dev URL is set to. So rather than having a physical server or even something like Amazon Web Services, they’re deploying using Cloudflare Pages which supports custom domains.”
Elmo’s a genius you know
I understand several of those words.
Most websites run off of a server. They’re just using a “repeater” (CloudFlare Pages) to serve directly off of their Github or whatever which is sort of top-shelf slapdashery.
Not serious. Not competent.
Is he perfectly stable, too?
Ohhhh . sssuuure. I mean, when he’s not ketted out to the gills.
So. Regularly. Maybe even often?
You understand the assignment people.
And you gotta bounce it off satellites.
I do, but say I was… Let’s call it “clueless”, what would a simpleton like me do to exploit such a thing?
It looks like it’s been patched. I couldn’t find solid instructions anyway. But if I do, I’m sure someone will post an easy to use shell script.
Firing the IT people because they cost too much is always a good thing to show you the incompetence.
Bosses when the IT dept is furiously responding to an outage: What do we pay you for?
Bosses when everything is running smoothly: What do we pay you for?

Why do we have all these IT people? Nothing works!
I’m torn on this, on one hand I know there must be millions of dollars in contracts for pointless reports and a huge amount of government wasteful spending in general.
On the other hand, musk and trump are absolute morons. And they will cut shit just because they don’t know what the words mean.
They’re not cutting actual waste. Their goal is to cripple the parts of the government that stopped them from doing illegal shit.
Not to mention their unwitting goal of destroying the United States. They’re useful idiots.
Sure sure, it’s most likely a cover.
If you are “torn” on whether it is a good thing to grant a wealthy campaign donor unfettered and unquestionably illegal access to government and bureaucratic infrastructure, with zero accountability or oversight, and who has displayed absolutely zero competence at managing any public institution (and in fact has a record of incompetence at managing private enterprises), then I honestly think you’re one of the millions of Americans who just needs to fuck off and stop contributing to adult decision-making. You’re simply not up to the task.
The wasteful spending is in defense and ain’t nobody looking into that…
Look at the bright side, the Evil Empire is over! America is done. Cooked. The next few years are gonna suck a lot but the deteriorating conditions will finally push Americans into a second revolution.
Waste is how you frame it.
Even literal poop has a benefit.
I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I “waste” making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.
Whoever dismantles the pre-existing structure will be the one who will have the chance to rebuild it. This is the entire reason they are doing it. Great if you share their vision. Not so much if you don’t.
will be the one who will have the chance to rebuild it
Assumingbthey have any intention of rebuilding it.

“Im torn on this, on one hand I know I have an untreated open wound on my leg, on the other hand here’s a 6 year old kid in a “doctor is in” t shirt who wants to smear whipped cream on it as a treatment”.
What’s to be torn by? False dichotomy.
No you don’t know that. You are repeating a trope without substance. Sure there’s probably huge waste at the pentagon but that’s not on the chopping block here.

Please…show this to The Onion. Let The Onion post some updates…it’s their ultimate wet fantasy.
They will fire most of their employees since they’ll get free daily content for the next 4 years.

Doesn’t seem avoidable.

Is musk’s consort shitting out another kid?
Probably because it “doesn’t” use SQL
What did you expect from a department named after a memecoin anyways
I still think it’s incredible he named his not yet an actual government department after a should-be-treated-as-a-security-by-the-SEC that he pumped and dumped
Remember that if you can see something that obvious, imagine all the quiet changes people are making that aren’t being immediately found. Not only the deliberate horseshit from musk and his facsy tots, but other attempts to distort data from traditional bad actors like China and Russia
Literally every country should do this. Any single country with internet access and even the start of a cyber security org should be extracting what they can, getting whatever access they can.
Ah, I see. That’s the efficiency they’re looking for.
Crowd source your database, what could go wrong?
Hahahahahahaha
Expert at dumbassery
Someone make it show
Doge ⬇️ Trump ⬇️ Congress
I want to see trump get asked about it in the next presser.
No, penis.
If the trouble shooters are all artless students then what do expect from whoever is running that website?

This is so shameful. It can’t be the case that these idiots are actually in control of the united states.

It all seems to be rushed and it’s all an attack on political opposition. Doing it well isn’t important. Like a monkey throwing shit at another monkey, they don’t care that they have some shit on their hands, they threw shit at another monkey and that’s what counts. Unfortunately the shit throwing monkeys are the president of the USA and the wealthiest person in the world.

To be fair, healthcare.gov had a rocky rollout too. No gaping security holes AFAIK though, so this is a new low.

You can thank your compatriots for this horror show. Huh. There’s a double entendre there if you’re familiar with the Russian language, or if you’ve read A Clockwork Orange.

As a Russian speaker, I don’t understand this. Could you elaborate?
