Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The mistake has resulted in highly sensitive information being exposed, including diplomatic documents, passwords, travel details of top officers, and tax returns, according to the report from the Financial Times.

Why the fuck is the US Military emailing passwords to anyone at all?

Why are they not encrypting the email?

As opposed to what? I get what you are saying but there's nothing more practical and with E2E encryption it should be in.

But I do agree if you are transferring S/TS/SCI you should be using a closed system over a VPN.
