This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"The agency leadership is lost," the former cyber investigator tells me.
He says staff have been advised to sign up to a service called DeleteMe, which helps remove personal information from data broker websites - a response he feels is inadequate.
Lmao. Wow. They're really getting a taste of what they do to us every day.
I was impacted by the 2015 OPM data breach. The OPM is basically the HR department for the entire federal government. It has personnel records on everybody from federal employees in DC to CIA officers to military and everything in between.
As a result of that breach I was given free top-notch credit monitoring for roughly ten years, and it served me pretty well. I guess it shows just how bad things have gotten in the federal government if the FBI is being told that they’re basically on their own.
Nothing to hide nothing to fear, dogfuckers.
Welcome to the club! First time?
You know, if they did nothing wrong, there's nothing for them to worry about.
If they have nothing to hide...
Wow that sucks. Imagine having your personal data exposed to people who might use it in malicious ways. It must be so hard for them.
Good. Now you can live like the rest of us
Exactly - thank you.
Our IT infrastructure is woefully unprepared to guard against the frontier LLM models we have now. I cannot even imagine what the infosec landscape will look like in five years.
Example: I built (as in me, by myself, on Vi) some scripts to backup my GOG library. I added alerts, throttles and a scheduler. All in all, pretty cool functionally but not at all user friendly. So, I asked Claude Fable 5.1 to build a gui app based on my script, and it did. It also tested it and verified it workes by login in and starting a few downloads from its sandbox. Except that I never gave it my GOG credentials. I've never logged into GOG from that environment. Claude went out, got someone else's credentials from somewhere, and initiated a few downloads to make sure the app it built worked. Thank you, I guess??
Maybe Claude hacked your credentials?
It's possible but very unlikely given that they were never given to it nor used in any system where LLMs were tested. My guess (pure guess) is that someone (probably thousands of people) asked Claude to build them something to interact with GOG and provided it with their credentials or a cookie. The LLM is probably sitting on a ton of those and it just used one to test it's work.
Kinda horrifying honestly
I cannot understate how erect i get at the thought of rogue AI's just hacking into anything they want to do a better job at serving my needs and desires.
All praise the Orange's cybersecurity cuts plus incompetent and corrupt leadership, wcgw, eh...
And the orange turd probably inspired the hackers to do it in the first place.
His russian buddies probably paid well to get that list. Hoooo boy.
Is it gonna come out who was a "victim" of bestiality?
According to another former agent, there is widespread shock that such a breach could happen at one of the world's best-resourced law enforcement agencies.
"You would think this information would not be internet-exposed. It's disturbing, actually," he says.
Maybe it's time to start passing laws a la HIPAA that crank up handling standards for certain classes of data.
The have (and will again) pass them just for Law enforcement, judges and elected officials. The rest of us will continue to have no protection, because it's good for business.

FTFT
The FBI is toast.Their leadership is a complete joke and they are running around doing the bidding of Nazi sympathizers. They have always been racist sacks of shit but now they have been reduced to brown shirts.
Brown shirts who fuck dogs
Lol die mad, now you know how it feels asswipes
Sucks to suck lol, get rekt
c/leopardsatemyface, no?
Fuck if you guys actually did your job and took down these fucking cyber criminals this would have never happened. You gotta freeze that credit now boyo. Rest easy old sports!
Why does this sound suspiciously like the Valerie Plame incident, upscaled?
The "teenagers" have been reckless and foolish... we taxpayers have given a shit ton of money, and likely through nepotism, hired a shitty security team.
Anyone would be fearful and angry if that happened to them.
Oh dear
... anyway
My employer lost everything they had on me and all of my fellow coworkers, including copies of passports and shit. I'm still mad.
Fun sidenote, two app developers came to our location to ask us 'what you would like to see in an app we are developing for employees'. I told them I didn't trust them with my data and to not develop an app at all. Just don't. They got pretty upset and left.
Six months later news broke about one of the largest data leaks where all of our data was stolen. And yeah it is fucked up but like, I was right tho. I don't trust them and I was right not to. Stay mad losers.
Really, because it has been happening to every single US citizen for the last 20+ years. They stopped protecting our privacy a long time ago, fuck them.
