Somehow I think that the weak link in our government security is at the top - the President, his cabinet, and various heads of agencies. Because nobody questions what they're allowed to do, and so they're exempt from various common-sense security protocols. We already saw some pretty egregious security breaches from Pete Hegseth.

That's also the case in businesses. No one denies the CEO a security exemption.

Hah no, weak links are everywhere at all levels. The stories just don't generate revenue for news companies.

It goes back long before the current regime. People may remember a certain cabinet secretary who ran her own exchange server in the basement.
