I don’t like musk or what he is doing, but I don’t see any mention of OPM data being leaked?
I did an, admittedly brief, search and couldn’t find anything saying the data HAD been leaked.
Is there potential? Yes
Is this a bad practice? Definitely.
Would I hire any engineer who thought changing prod of a complex system on their second week was a good idea? Fuck no, it’s stupid.
But let’s not make up fake news.
