    Someone in the White House “probably installed a sketchy free app on their phone"

    And that’s the White House. I wonder how many situations there are out there where hardened-toward-the-Internet, squishy-on-the-inside home networks have some random kid with an Android phone or something punching holes to let any number of unsavory characters onto the LAN.

      I mean, I only have confirmation of the Pentagon, the rest I’m just assuming. It feels a safe assumption.

      Based off how common this scenario was a decade ago in corporate environments with millions to be lost, I’m going to guess more than 50% of networks have had one, if not a few in the last year alone.

    Didn’t Musk gift Trump Starlink at the white house? Now that’s how you siphon data and communicate without leaving traces on the government systems.
