Passwords and private information belonging to top national security officials in the Trump administration have been found online, according to the German publicationDer Spiegel.
In a stunning report published on Wednesday, the paper said its journalists “used commercial people search engines along with hacked customer data that has been published on the web.” Those whose information was compromised include Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.

Someone needs to be found, tried, and shot for treason. This needs to stop.

It won't allow me to read without disabling my ad blocker. Like other sites, I'll pass.
Not to mention that just because something is written and published doesn't mean that it has any basis in fact whatsoever.
Without verifiable evidence, it may simply have never happened. That is not at all uncommon.

I know Joe Biden's password. His password is password. But I don't log into any of his stuff.

There’s a traitor and/or they’ve been hacked. What the punishment for treason?

Could Goldberg have hacked into this conversation using one of the leaked passwords? There are still some left-over liberal traitors from the Obama-Biden administration doing their dirty work.

I have a trail of antique passwords, obsolete phone numbers, and dead email addresses. Life goes on while yesterday’s records are stagnant. Nothing here is bothersome unless the purloined passwords are current and related to secure work

Likely some rogue elements within the U.S. government with TDS who feels good when doxing or whatever they can do to hurt the Trump administration. The same hard left of the DNC who champion DEI are themselves the most intolerant people on the planet.

Sounds like time to change passwords to something other than '123isme' and your birthday, your kids birthday, your address and everything simple..pick something hard and don't write it on a post it note...try dashlane.com to keep track

I hope the Democrats fully realize that if any trouble emerges anywhere on Earth while they are interfering with Dod, they are going to look even more trivial than usual. On another topic -- entirely -- looky, Usha Vance has gone to Greenland, a warning shot across the bow of whoever, that the biggest of big shots are watching intently and that if there is any trouble there then the entire United States Armed Forces are going to show up instantly and not playing games. Trump is ten moves ahead. Thank God for Trump.

If any of you think that your information including passwords cannot be found on the dark web you are very naive. I have credit and identity theft monitoring. I have at least 4 instances of it paid for by companies including the federal government who had security breaches and sent me a letter offering to pay for it. There is nothing in this article that says the information obtained is for current accounts for these people. It could be for accounts they had 20 years ago.

#2, there is an option at the bottom of the interruption box that allows you to proceed without disabling your ad blocker. Phone numbers and email addresses being exposed, I can accept, passwords, no. Any competent person knows to change their passwords periodically using something that can't be randomly guessed. Computer systems over forty years old used to keep all passwords in an unencrypted file. I hope the government doesn't still use them.

Find out who did it and Chop off their fingers and cut out their tongue. That might deter any further invasion or at least give the raiders pause to rethink their efforts. It would also make a great many people joyous!

Passwords have to be changed periodically for most systems. So, which passwords? We will soon discover how this whole thing was a deliberate effort by the deep state to disrupt and derail the Trump administration. Our side better know who they're dealing with and understand that we are at war with these people. No prisoners. When they come for you, you get them first!

Just because a password which someone used in the past is out there doesn't mean that it is a password they are using now. There are several passwords which I have used in the past out there. Some of them I still use...for websites and other things which I only use a password for because I am required to do so. I have applications and website accounts that contain no sensitive data and which I don't care if someone else modifies that I only have a password on because it requires them. And there are websites on which I have accounts because it was the only way to view their information, but to which I may never return.

A stolen password is only useful until it has been changed.

The State Department is filled with Left Wi8ng whack jobs and the place needs to be cleaned out. Someone in the place leaked this information and needs to be sought out and severally punished, by maybe taking a spot in one of those cells the Jan 6th people were in.,
