Does anyone know? Is it people just emailing [email protected]?
Certainly seems that way, and I can only think of 3 reasons for that.
- Incompetence, whoever set it up doesn't know how to limit the email group to only authorized or even just internal-only emails.
- An oversight, same scenario as the first, but just a step missed in the setup process as opposed to incompetence.
- Whoever set it up purposely didn't set it up correctly so this exact scenario would occur.
I'm guessing they opened it up so people from DOGE could send email blasts to all federal employees without going through the normal agency channels, and they couldn't figure out how to whitelist just one address, so they just opened it up to everyone and hoped nobody would notice.
Sounds like the sort of "innovation" you would expect from tech bros like Musk.
Wait can anyone email this or just internal addresses? Asking for a friend…
Seems like anyone can based on what I read online
The level of stupidity here is reaching levels I didn’t think possible. There may yet be hope for America.
