This pretty much proves that the US government is experiencing its worst cybersecurity breach ever.

Musk is proof of that, in and of himself. And it’s not just cyber, it’s national security. We are in grave danger.
This has also been the narrative on recent techdirt.com posts, e.g. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/13/at-last-doge-and-musk-are-finally-named-in-a-lawsuit-albeit-officially/ - I (not being American) do not know or care enough about the topic to have an opinion about it.
This is by design, weaken security and allow daddy Putin to take over
Is it really a breach if they'll just hand it over to anyone who pays and/or stroke's Mango Mussolini's ego?
The United States has been glory holed by anyone who paid admission.
Also a pretty brilliant feat of social engineering on Musk's part. (And I don't say that to be flattering, it just kind of is.)
