Of the many reasons you could be spending a big chunk of the rest of your life in federal prison, impressing NEETs on discord is one of the stupider ones. I hope he spends many years considering his decisions.
I also hope that a Republican doesn’t win the election next year, because whoever it would be, he’ll totally grant a pardon for dumb and completely political reasons. I wish the US had at least two functioning parties run by adults, rather than the 0.5 we have now.
I just asked GPT4 to write a modern late-stage capitalist version of the pledge:
I pledge allegiance to the Free Market of the United States of America, and to the Corporations for which it stands, one Nation under Profit, indivisible, with liberty and justice for shareholders.
I could 100% hear this being in the background of some midwestern emo song rofl
This idiot is going to live in infamy in a million fucking PowerPoint slides about the power of stupidity in the forces, and the need for "see something say something."
The reality is that a lot of places have lax security because "everyone knows each other" and because nobody wants to be the difficult one. Hopefully this finally changes some of that toxic bullshit.
I mean, he was a fucking Air Force reservist. And why is nobody logging access and/or doing log analysis to look for weird access patterns? Or if they are doing that, how come nobody noticed a fucking reservist repeatedly accessing information that had nothing to do with his job?
Also, this is his bedroom. Like holy shit, the flags were unbelievably red.
The more I look at this picture the more I wonder if I'm dreaming or hallucinating. Like is the ceiling fan off center? Is the whole room just slanted? What's with the bottles of green liquid is it bong cleaner? Imagine trying to bring a girl into this room for sexy time.
Military couldn’t figure out how top secret info kept getting leaked. This was info regarding troop positions, equipment specs, etc… They were thinking that it was some top-level member of the military who was leaking all of these, because nobody else had enough access to be able to see all the different things that were being leaked.
Turns out, it was some dude in IT who had admin rights. He was playing games while on voice chat on Discord, and was getting roasted. He basically told them “y’all don’t even know how important I am. I have Top Secret clearance and could smoke any of y’all if I wanted to.” Naturally, they responded with “lol prove it loser.”
So he did. He started posting Top Secret documents in the discord. And someone else on that Discord started sharing them elsewhere, until it eventually made its way all the way to foreign intelligence organizations.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Hypocrisy and to the republic for which it stands, one nation without liberty or justice for all.
