Oops! Pentagon’s Email Oopsie: Over 20,000 Defense Staffers’ Data Left Unsecured

Oops! The Department of Defense’s version of ‘sharing is caring’ went a bit too far—over 20,000 folks got an ‘oopsie’ letter about their personal info making a web debut, thanks to a chatty, unsecured email server. Passwords, anyone? 🤦‍♂️ #DataBreachDrama

Hot Take:

Looks like the Department of Defense needs to defend their own data a bit better. If sensitive emails were party favors, they've just accidentally thrown the most happening bash on the internet. Oops!
