Incompetence at the top of the FBI has devastating consequences.
FBI declares suspected Chinese hack of US surveillance system a ‘major cyber incident’

The designation suggests the hackers successfully compromised swathes of sensitive data stored directly on FBI systems.

aaahahahaha 😅

outdated infrastructure, inadequate segmentation, an overreliance on the assumption that "unclassified means it can't be that bad," or simply an adversary who has spent years successfully infiltrating these networks. How wonderful this modern world is — where even those wielding the surveillance tools occasionally find themselves caught in the spotlight 

@2ndStar @georgetakei Or a single point of failure in the FBI director whose email had been hacked by Iran, which in turn may have allowed greater access by other hostile entities including China.

EDIT: I'm very worried about China's hack likely accessed through Patel because of Patel's work history under Trump 1.0. If Patel is sloppy now, he was sloppier then.

@femme_mal @georgetakei

Let's just say this FBI director is not burdened by an excess of intellect 😊

@georgetakei How many experts did they fire?

@Jestbill @georgetakei

Yeah didn't they fire cyber security people specifically? It looked like a gift for Putin, as doge boys were giving system access to users in Russia.

@georgetakei Patel won’t see his firing coming.
@georgetakei How much is that doge in the window?
