Greatest Computer Crime In World History

I've been in the computer industry for over 30 years and I have never heard of a computer crime that even comes close. eLoon's ransacking of the OPM computers only to be followed up by ransacking of computers at Treasury will essentially give eLoon the keys to the kingdom.
He has broken just about every computer crime on the books.

The seriousness of these events cannot be understated and should be ringing like a 4-alarm fire in Congress. If a Democrat had done that they would be screaming for blood.
We need to demand action.

trump ain't the president, and we need to make this loud and clear -- a white, South African neo-Nazi is actually running the presidential suite -- from anywhere in the world he wants to sit. trump is just the patsy for when it all goes south... and, according to the reading I did on New Years, that's going to be April this year. Isn't that one of those "quarters" that are so important to finance?

@ least 3.5 million voters were removed prior
to the election by allowing challenges to a voter's right to be a registered voter (I bet you it was higher) and Musk and the GRU were into
the central tabulators.

And BTW our media being in the pockets of
the GOP didn't help along with citizen's united

I was at a public hearing where over 100 people gave testimony on how their vote or
their ability to vote was tampered with but the only thing that was reported about the
hearing was that a republican operative pretending to be on the Democrats side marked
people’s heads with an X as in “my vote was crossed out.”

Now it is, “Why are you spreading conspiracy theories?” You can see that meme being
pushed by concern trolls here on DU all the time.

Probably because Elon told him the computers would vote the way he wanted.

So, Elon assured Trump would not go to prison and Trump handed over the nation to Elon. Look quick, before the money is gone along with our rights and future.

By the way, did any MSM report about all the fancy homes Elon was buying for all his ex-wive and offspring in that one tight, easy to defend enclave outside Huston? That story fell off the radar and down the memory hole mighty fast.

One major hope to stop them is a lawful rebellion in the military. Soldiers and officers take Oaths to Defend the Constitution, not to follow illegal orders from Dictators like Trump and Musk. If the Military are given illegal orders, their legal duty is to disregard unlawful orders. Anti-Trump soldiers and officers that are loyal to the Constitution and their Oaths might oppose Pro-Trump soldiers and officers loyal to the Dictator Trump. We need patriot soldiers like General Milley, Lloyd Austin, Malcolm Nance, and Adam Kinzinger to take some action to mobilize the Anti-Trump forces before it is too late.

Co-mingling of the Treasury, after they increase it with the tariffs, and crypto. Then the oligarchs can split the money and become the world's first trillionaires. That's their ultimate plan. Putting the tariffs in place starts it in motion. Tariffs make a lot of money for the Treasury. Trump loves that.

Sound crazy? It is. But it's their plan. And they just may pull it off.

30. US Government sued after mass emails to federal workforce allegedly sent from insecure server
Sat Feb 1, 2025, 11:59 PM
Feb 2025

Musk appointees allegedly plugged their own email server into OPM network, breaking data security rules.

When officials working for the incoming Trump administration decided they wanted to email the entire federal workforce last week, they didn’t hang about.

Far from it: A new private class action lawsuit brought by two anonymous US executive branch employees alleges that they simply turned up at the HQ of the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which handles HR, and demanded to plug in their email server and get going as soon as possible.

The one person who could have refused authorization for such a move — Melvin Brown II, who took control of the agency’s IT systems only a week before — had already been sidelined.

The suit was filed after OPM sent two test emails to an estimated 2.3 million federal employees in a way that, the suit alleges, broke the E-Government Act of 2002 and was inherently insecure. Those rules require that a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) be carried out first.

The day after the suit was filed, the OPM sent another email to federal employees, inviting them to resign.
