There's already a reasonable approach to this, which DOGE is opting out of. Those who are https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_hat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_hat are carefully given positions that require their specific skills, and aren't given run of the mill security sensitive IT roles.
- keepamovin 2y agoFair enough but is he really gray hat? We don't know. Or is he just whiter than white but walked in the shadow lands to gather sacred mushrooms?
- chonkerz 2y agoIf only they bothered to do a real background check
- keepamovin 2y agoI do agree that vetting would be a good idea - did they tho? We don't know. That's the thing. I guess DOGE is sorta like move fast and break things applied to gov? Hah :)
- benatkin 2y agoHe's either grey hat or deny hat...the allow hat ship sailed.
- keepamovin 2y agoI don't get your joke, but thanks! Heh :)
- benatkin 2y agoYou said whiter than white when I just gave a link to the page about grey hat hackers, not endorsing the name grey hat, so I said allow hat instead of white hat and deny hat instead if allow hat to mirror allowlist/denylist in place of whitelist/blacklist.
- keepamovin 2y agoOh hahahaha! :) that was quite a few levels of indirection
