Are we seriously suggesting that the password was intentionally leaked? The crackback against twitter and Musk with even a shred of evidence would be devastating. The idea that anyone's creds would be intentionally leaked is unbelievable to me, much less the creds of a US govt institution.
- Shekelphile 3y agoWhy not? Musk has a history of direct personal attacks against people who criticize him (he just recently purged a bunch of people from twitter today, no less) as well as a history of directly pump and dumping shitcoins for him and his crony's personal gain. It seems so likely that it should probably be assumed that this is the case imo.
- ckbishop 3y agoYeah, and in fact, it was my first thought. He's an emotional man-baby with a God complex. Leaked credentials? Probably not. Those are hashed because competent engineers created the platform before he got there. Made the account easier to be hacked? Yes, probably. That would be my assumption. Changed password, changed MFA, changed owner e-mail, etc. They no longer have a real support team, but I'm sure the support mechanisms are still all in place.
- jadamson 3y agoReally, that was your first thought? I hope he's paying you rent.
- ckbishop 3y agoYeah, out here in reality, when you keep doing unhinged things, people start to assume you are -- or are going to do -- unhinged things. That's why those of us living lives tethered by the rules of society try to preserve our benefit of doubt.
