From the administration that brought us "We are currently clean on OPSEC", I can't claim surprise. Disappointment, but not surprise.

Nor, however, can I take the statements of malicious actors at face value. They hacked a personal email address, but that does not mean "the FBI’s security was nothing more than a joke".

These government officials are idiots. Jeffery Epstein, idiot. Why do even rich and powerful use easily hackable stuff?

Lest us not forget bObama@yahoo.com or the IT guy who worked for the Clinton foundation who posted about bleachbit on recdit

  • Obama's old personal email was at defunct ISP ameritech.net, not Yahoo. I only remember because that's the ISP I grew up with.

    Trump using yourefired as his Twitter password well into his 2016 campaign was amazing, too.

  • Because they are experts in acquiring riches and power, not experts in computer security.
