🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

A test of Bluesky's critical mass is how useful it is for breaking news like this. As soon as I heard from a friend about the quake, I came here to get news and was not disappointed.
