    WAS HE CAUGHT WITH HIS HANDS IN THE COOKIE JAR?

    Does it really matter whether he did?

    Der Müskrat has been screaming “LEMME AT THEM COOKIES” for a month straight while hiring unpaid cookie monsters. Whether or how it already happened, it’s pretty clear the cookie jar is gonna get raided by someone.

    Elez did in fact have write access, allowing him to push unvetted and untested changes straight to the Treasury’s payments system — a nightmare scenario that could introduce all sorts of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and leave doors open for adversary hacker groups

    I feel for whoever has to deal with the fallout.

      Us. It’s us who will have to deal with this.

      This is like a reverse Mr Robot scenario.
