Zero surprise. Trump was a national security risk during his first term and he's way worse now. This won't end well.

Trump aides raised alarm about 'potential security breaches' due to Musk: report

A decision by members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to hook the White House communications system up to Elon Musk's Starlink internet service was done over objections from Donald Trump's own communications experts.

According to a report from the Washington Post's Joseph Menn, three insiders claim that no one working on the White House communications management team was given advanced notice before DOGE employees were given access to the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in February to set-up the equipment and activate it.

According to the Post's Menn, that was when alarms were raised about the very real possibility of security breaches.

The Post is reporting, "The people said those managing the systems weren’t able to monitor such connections to stop sensitive information from leaving the complex or hackers from breaking in," adding that it is unknown to what extent the system is still working after the president's fall-out with billionaire Musk that came to a head on Thursday and continued into Friday night.

The report notes that traditionally everything that goes in and out of the White House is tracked but Starlink works around those protocols.

According to one insider, "Starlink doesn’t require anything. It allows you to transmit data without any kind of record or tracking. White House IT systems had very strong controls on network access. You had to be on a full-tunnel VPN at all times. If you are not on the VPN, White House-issued devices can’t connect to the outside.”

Another added, "With a Starlink connection, that means White House devices could leave the network and go out through gateways. … It’s going to help you bypass security."

Oh this most certainly has to be it now @bornaneer! I mean this is even more damming than that infamous "phone call" to Ukrainian President Zelensky Dems used to impeach Trump! Imagine...the Chi-Coms can now simply log onto the WH account over Musk's Starlink, and hear how Trump is arranging for Putin to seize not only the rest of Crimea, but all of Eurasia so he & 'ol Vlad can corner the international market on natural gas sales and divide up the profits between themselves!

@moe is so happy now... finally....after 10 years, they have the "smoking gun" against Trump, and they can thank their former Leftist ally Elon Musk for doing them the favor!

@moe

I figured it was just a matter of time before Elon would come to his senses, turn away from the "Dark side" and hand Trump's orange colored *** back to us on a silver platter! I'm so happy right now

@moe ... beyond overjoyed about Trump

 

[atlkvb]

Typical MAGA response on this board. What part of the article do you take issue with?

The OP who re-posted all that drivel!

You honestly think for one minute WH communications aren't THE most secure in the World? Why weren't you as concerned about who was making the calls on the use of that "autopen" during the last administration? Funny how your side STILL manages to keep that a secret and they aren't even in the WH anymore huh @moe ? (Thank God)

Hey....I resent that! No one ever asked me if they could forge my signature on EO's...so don't blame me for what was signed in my name!

OK sleepy, creepy, crooked Joe...we'll blame idiots like @moe who actually believed you were at the "top of your game" when all they saw was your absent minded clueless incoherence even after being told which way to leave the stage!


...this way Joe....no that way...no wait!!!!!!

(quote from above linked article in OP)
"three insiders claim that no one working on the White House communications management team was given advanced notice before DOGE employees were given access to the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building"

So tell us @moe, how can we even begin to assess if this story is true, much less if this communications system is even still up and running if we can't even identify who the these "inside" WH communications experts are? Seems to me, if this is as serious as your hit piece article suggests, these folks would want to be named so they can protect future WH communications right?

Who are these "anonymous" sources quoted in your hit piece?

@moe

Get real atl...when have you ever seen me post a Trump hit piece that quoted actual "verified" or "non anonymous" sources?

I have to admit @moe , 'ya got me there!

* (from quoted article)
" it is unknown to what extent the system is still working"

So there 'ya have it folks. "Anonymous" sources who can't even verify if this "security breach" is sill even operational! But 'ol @moe here is ready to have Trump impeached over it!

While we're at it, let's find out who was issuing Biden's signature with that autopen? Sleepy, creepy, crooked Joe didn't even know we had one, let alone who was using it without permission or for what?

Hey...I resent that!

lol I can't blame you for wanting to change the subject away from this lawless, corrupt admin. Musk and who knows else has everyone's gov't data. It will make them even wealthier. Gov't thought police will use it against those who don't 'change their ways.'

Only changing the subject to real verified FACTS from your usual ******** like "this lawless, corrupt admin"...which is a lie.

Corrupt? The definition of democrats is corruption. This admin isn’t full of communist like the last one. Let’s give it a chance to play out. We withstood Biden’s anti American admin.

I wonder if the Musk crew has collected more intel on Trump and his government goons than the Obama/Biden administration's DOJ that was illegally spying on innocent Americans during Crossfire Hurricane?

Might be interesting for them to compare notes huh @moe ?

*Crossfire Hurricane was the code name for an FBI investigation examining potential links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. The investigation aimed to determine whether individuals associated with the campaign were coordinating with the Russian government's efforts to influence the election.

editor's personal note: it was a totally fabricated "collusion" charge, and the spying done was illegal complete with the FBI lying to the FISA court to obtain the spy warrants...which was also illegal because they were spying on innocent Americans!

@moe

I knew that!

@moe ....always lying

[bornaneer]

huh? lol Dems are literally powerless at this moment so your post makes zero sense. You don't seem well, maybe take a break from the board for a while.

I just threw a dart and hit the bullseye.

To say Dems are powerless is absurd...Are they powerless in California,New York,Illinois,Washington,Colorado or Oregon plus several other states that are intent to fight against anything Trump tries to do about getting illegals out of our Country ?

I say NOOOOO:

Federal officials are urging Democrat politicians to tone down "dangerous" rhetoric about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, after violent protests and disorderly demonstrations broke out over the weekend in Los Angeles and New York City.

Multiple people were detained by immigration agents on Friday as seven locations in Los Angeles were raided.

In response, violent protests broke out across the county, including an attempted break into the Roybal Federal Building.

Hours later, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) declared unlawful assembly and issued a city-wide tactical alert.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a statement on Saturday noting it took the LAPD two hours to respond to the Roybal building, despite multiple calls.

"Last night, over 1,000 rioters surrounded a federal law enforcement building and assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings, and taxpayer-funded property," according to DHS. "Our ICE enforcement officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them. Disturbingly, in recent days, ICE officers’ family members have been dox[x]ed and targeted as well."

Officials said the Los Angeles riots and assaults on ICE agents came after Democrat politicians, including New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, "villainized and demonized" ICE law enforcement.

"The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement. "The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens. … From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end."

 

[atlkvb]

@moe goes understandably silent. Not one word of condemnation or even outrage against the ICE rioters, or Democrat pols urging them on.

@moe

I can't speak for every Trump hating Leftist, I prefer to let them speak for themselves.

Your silence says everything @moe

 

[atlkvb]

@bornaneer I'm sure you understand the main reason why Leftists and Democrats are fighting so hard against these increased ICE enforcements is because they're seeing a major part of their voting constituency being systematically removed right in front of them!

We both know Dems can't win unless they cheat, and rounding up all of these "undocumented" voters (ie: illegal aliens) means less options for Democrats to cheat in close elections! There is no other reason stated or implied why they'd be against assuring every citizen in this country who votes is a legally registered American citizen. AKA voter integrity Laws.

If there is another reason, they're not telling us what it is?

The case for voter ID is unassailable, unless you’re hiding something

excerpt:
If the right to vote is sacrosanct, as Democrats insist, why do they oppose even the most basic efforts to protect the integrity of the voter rolls? Can you think of anything else whose integrity is so important? The standard argument from Democrats is that voter fraud is so rare as to never be a factor. They say this in the face of case after case of voter fraud, many of them ending in convictions, many of them involving politicians themselves, and some even causing elections to be overturned

...more

The simplest and smartest way to prevent fraud without creating an undue burden on voters is something Democrats irrationally demonize — the simple requirement for photo identification, just like the one you face every time you cash a check or order a beer.

Democrats also insist on registering illegal immigrants to vote, despite the fact they're NOT citizens! Why?

Ans:
So they can cheat!

US House Democrats Voted to Give 'Illegal Immigrants' New Representation in Elections?

excerpt:
House Dems voted UNANIMOUSLY to give illegals representation in Congress AND the Electoral College. House Seats and Electoral College votes WILL BE added to areas with the most illegals (including all Biden illegals) unless Senate passes the bill. Invasion by design.


Just remember this axiom whenever you hear Democrats whining about "voter suppression" particularly for "undocumented aliens".

Translation: They can't win, unless they can cheat!

or put another way....
