Government Networks Being Exposed

cyberintel.substack.com Once-Private Government Networks Are Now Exposed, Making Cyber-Espionage Easier than Ever

A new investigation shows nuclear secrets and government servers are dangerously exposed to nation-state hackers.

Can anyone verify this report? This seems... Bad.

Between January 14 and February 8, servers belonging to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and Fermi Accelerator National Laboratory have been found with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) services exposed to the public internet. This grants malicious actors the opportunity to hack into servers hosting sensitive nuclear research data, a golden egg for spy agencies across the globe.

My investigation also revealed government servers directly interfacing with AI products, creating yet another disturbing risk to national security that is extremely difficult to reverse or mitigate.

With the state of government security before this, I don't have a lot of hope these were secure, but at least they weren't exposed directly to the Internet for attack.....

This is treason - plain and simple. Musk and Trump need to be brought up on treason charges. “Providing aid and comfort to the enemy.”
- who will charge then persecute them?
  
  Prosecute. Persecuting is what they are doing to us.
  But I hear you.
  When people say that the country is built on the rule of law, they mean it literally. There is no enforcement mechanism in the constitution that would allow the courts to enforce their rulings. We have gone for 250 years without anyone in the White House ignoring court rulings. They are ruling and he is effectively saying “Make Me.” The only remedy that is explicitly in the constitution is impeachment, and we know this congress and senate won’t do that. They are completely in his thrall. And if they did, then we’d end up with Vance who is showing his true, Putin-pocketed, nazi inspired colors in Germany - just today.
  They could swear out a bench-warrant for Musk, but Trump would just proactively pardon him - unless he’s really getting sick of the Co-President stuff.
  The courts deputizing anyone to carry out their enforcement would lead to an instant constitutional crisis - which again, I think they are purposefully working to provoke, so they can just light the constitution on fire.
  I think we need some brilliant ideas, right now - quick, fast, and in a hurry.
  
  Well, Andrew Jackson ignored them and we got the American historical period of excellence we now affectionately refer to as the Trail of Tears, so there's that...
