Treasury Data May Have Become Public [View all]

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

It appears that at least some data is now in the public domain and I saw a post on BlueSky that claimed there was a Treasury back door out on GitHub.
This is all because of eLoon's teenage incels. There were rumors that they were downloading that data to removable hard drives as well as creating backdoors for themselves to get into the system at will. This would seem to verify at least some of those rumors.

This a cataclysmic outcome that could have incredibly dire consequences. Who do you put your money on: A self taught teenager hired by a drug addict or a team of highly educated and well trained professional hackers from China or Russia? If true they could literally drain trillions of dollars and bankrupt the the United States but at least the Republicans got to stick it to those godless liberals one last time.
