You mean like if our government was compromised at the highest levels and they wanted to undermine everything without the public realizing? Btw what happened to all the social security data that DOGE exfiltrated?
While I agree that it should not have happened, at the same time its probably true that most people are never formally trained on security.
The real story here is a big gap in existing implementations where shared credentials are needed and used pretty much across all the systems but there are no good solutions for managing such use cases. People are naturally more sensitive about their personal secrets than something thats shared across the company/group
Sometimes I feel like it's a cover for some other org actually just wanting to steal the data and this being the excuse.

When empires collapse, it's usually not caused by a foreign power, but by negligence and corruption from within
the fact we're asking about it means the public realized
the problem is the public is dumb, at least when it comes to security, and couldn't tell you why password123 is bad

Don't they call this "parallel construction" or some such ?
"crazy crazy" gets the same point across
Yeah, but the words gross negligence is legal for you're going to be sued for a whole lot of money.

I think willfully not reporting this is gross negligence, but also other things.
