(3,720 posts)What wasn't didn't. Most of what they look to be doing today is collecting verifiable lists of civil workers to scare them and their families and firing Dept. Heads, which many are under the executives jurisdiction, nothing we can do about that. I am mainly talking about these articles about Musk trying to access "payment systems" scaring people who don't understand how the treasury works. Theres no safe to rob, no pin number to steal. Yes there's some skeevy shit going on but these guys cant halt SS or Medicare payments without Congress.
Now if there is any truth to "servers" being installed in different divisions "head quarters" that implies physical machines being brought in and installed on the networks. That would worry me like mad if it turns out to be true. I find it doubtful though as this isnt 2010. Most "servers" nowadays are hosted within government data centers in a closed government intranet, at least important ones. Some of those articles made it sound like people were bringing in server computers to set up. I find that very doubtful but like I said if that is true in some instances it violates federal government cybersecurity laws at some level I would think and would worry me greatly.
