- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> article fails to explain what is illegal about what's going on. Exactly what laws are being broken? Privacy Act of '74 [1] and FISMA of '02 [2], at a minimum. Possibly state laws, depending on the scope of the data. These kids don't have legal access to these systems. It's analogous to you or me breaking into these buildings, hopping on the WiFi and stealing those files.

- evanjrowley 2y agoI'm interested to see what happens with this from a FISMA perspective. In my experience, the closest thing there is to inter-departmental enforcement of FISMA is SESers and system owners being afraid of political optics attempting to explain their failures to congress and OMB's CIO council. I don't see how either of those are going to be a deterrent for DOGE under the Trump administration, who both controls OMB and is willing to battle with congress.
