    I hate that they get to label this a "hack". It was sheer negligence - they stored these images in an unsecured bucket.

    I mean, you can, or you can use it to assure your firewall is configured correctly. The entire Internet is scanning you at all times, why would you focus your attention on one of the services who is willing to share their results with you? Believe me, you probably have lower hanging fruit to pick.

    While details of the Pentagon's plan remain secret, the White House proposal would commit $277 million in funding to kick off a new program called "pLEO SATCOM" or "MILNET."

    A family member with no inherent moral compass or empathy, whose eyes, ears, thoughts and agency belong to teams of trained profit-seekers in a different country. I disapprove of this humanization of software.
