Feds probe alleged classified US govt data theft and leak Uncle Sam is investigating claims that some miscreant stole and leaked classified information from the Pentagon and other national security agencies. The US Department of State "is aware of claims that a cyber incident has occurred and is currently investigating," a spokesperson told The Register. "The department takes …
I guess that 'The Donald' has more docs in his possession than those found at Mar-A-Lardo.
They'll be his exit stage left to Putin plan the moment that the jury in NYC goes out to deliberate.
The like of Fox News/NewsMax/RSBN and the rest will try their best to make out that it is all the fault of the 'Biden Crime Family'.
It is a Mad, Mad, Mad World.
The contact info used to be openly accessible on mil sites. But in those days we still had telephone directories and people were happy to share contact information so the world could function more easily.
The five eyes stuff might be more fun. I'm a big fan of transparency in government. Unfortunately, state accountability only seems to come from hacks like Wikileaks and the Paradise Papers. It's almost like they are up to something and are trying to hide it! Surely not.
I need to program a function key to type 'you should keep private stuff on a system that never connects to the public internet' as these hacks are almost daily now.

Whenever one needs to hide everything is dread deadly peril the only medicine available to cure or kill the patient host of the bitter sweet condition, and the disease/affliction/addiction/infection/affectation/confection is easily enough recognised.
amanfromMars [2404040904] .... shares on https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2024/4/3/viewpoint-containing-rise-of-advanced-persistent-threats[Thank you. Your comment will be displayed soon after reviewing.]
National DEFENSE is a prime example of a premium supplier of Advanced Persistent Threat gateways for both competitive and adversarial use and misuse/abuse, directly resulting from its treatment of freely shared augmentative information advancing intelligence [AI²] and responding commentary
for World Wide Web publication and universal internetworking presentation from any number of all manner of engaging third parties, entities which be hardly anonymous whenever virtually self identifying by virtue of their selfless provision of mandatory Name and Email .
The very fact that some third party responses/comments do not appear in spite of the implied expectation that they will after editorial review .... [Thank you. Your comment will be displayed soon after reviewing.] ..... can easily have one identifying sensitive information being adjudged better not served presumably because it opens up a pathway or reveals an exploitable vulnerability against which there be no possible effective defences.
And to imagine such augmentative information advancing intelligence [AI²] as being covertly phished for compromised administrative SCADA systems attention/quarantined private beta testing introduces the very real possibility of the dire known by the supplier consequences of the use and misuse/abuse of such provided information being suffered by that which and those who would be pilfering it for private gain of function.
The enigmatic conundrum that seeks leading energetic resolution and practical pragmatic solution to prevent the entirely avoidable globalised pain and disruption of madness and mayhem, chaos and destruction, is simple recognition and resigned acceptance of the fact that future rapid progress of the human experience is to be enjoyed via remote relatively anonymous leadership in a practically autonomous ethereal existence ...... Live Operational Virtual Environments ..... with an enlightening quantum leap in deep understanding being required by the masses to ensure it is not to be feared as an alien concept if presented as something to be feared and fought against.
To paint any such novel developments as Particularly Pernicious Persistent Advancing Cyber Threats rather than exploring them as Immaculate Treats has one creating for oneself an extremely sophisticated adversary verging on an almighty enemy .... and that is gravely to be regarded and studiously to be avoided at any and all costs for all of the reasons you may surely imagine be the consequence of not heeding sound helpful advice.
Softly, softly, catchee monkeys and donkeys and wannabe thuggees is an unavoidable part of the road on the pathways that deliver future progress and the greater understanding of Immaculate Being ‽ . 'Tis just a glitch like a bump in the road to be quickly flattened and denied future presence for existence.
You need to either cut down on the meds or stop using an LLM to write your posts dude, this took time and some brain cells died that you will never get back. Not even sure what you are trying to say, and definitely not sure it is worth saying!
Not even sure what you are trying to say, and definitely not sure it is worth saying! ........ itsthemonkey
What it is saying is in certain much wider agreement with what Thomas Claburn of the El Reg parish has today shared [Fri 5 Apr 2024 // 06:29 UTC] with his posting of Tough luck, bosses, AI is coming for your job, too, itsthemonkey.
And certainly worth saying if one is predisposed to misusing and abusing secrets and inviting an APT* and dread deadly peril upon oneself.

Back in the day when I had a security clearance, the idea of hosting classified material on a system with Internet connectivity would get one read out of the program right quick. (Even before the chief of engineering got his laptop hacked one day and the whole of the documentation server started being FTP'ed to China. Never knew if he was just phished, or had been browsing Bad Stuff at home with his company lappie. Knowing him, it could been either.)
There are secure networks, true, but those are supposedly fully isolated from non-secure networks to prevent exactly this kind of thing. Sounds like a gross failure of tradecraft on the part of those managing the data.
