@molly0xfff Unverified, but completely believable.

@molly0xfff I think this is what this executive order is for: whitehouse.gov/presidential-ac

It’s also one of the main points that Project 2025 wanted to enact, giving the President wide-reaching control over federal employees.

@molly0xfff An on-prem Exchange server perhaps? That’s a security incident waiting to happen.

@hal_pomeranz @molly0xfff it sounds a bit like "someone, we don't really know who, brought in a server we don't control", which sounds like a security incident in progress.

@hal_pomeranz @molly0xfff That's just par for the course for US government networks. Some departments do have hybrid deployments that terminate on Azure, but on-prem exchange is still extremely common.

@molly0xfff Well, shit.

@molly0xfff perhaps it is a good time to make sure this is being circulated cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e09

@molly0xfff for any other readers who don’t know, an “RIF notice” is a “Reduction In Force notice”, basically a layoff (tho there are some differences)

@molly0xfff I just don't understand what the point is. If they can email every fed, why the "reply with yes" crap? They already know the email address. I don't doubt some stupid and/or evil plan, but I think I'm missing something.

@Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff

My wild guess is that they just want to validate the email addresses are valid and just to test the servers.

I think the idea of storing data on private servers owned by Musk & friends is to shield them from FOIA requests or congressional / legal oversight down the road.

@SaftyKuma @Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff Exactly, like the spammers & scammers they are.

@Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff They may want to confirm that the server can handle the load of all those replies.
They may want proof that you are receiving the messages so you can't claim later that you aren't.

@jik @Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff My small part in local government tells me this is their intent. It was a big part in @$$ covering and very intentional that you acknowledged a condition existed.

Ordovician

Föderation EN Di 28.01.2025 18:44:41

@Secret_Squirrel It seemed like a pervasive situation and was to confirm you knew or to make you complicit. You acknowledged that something existed and then chose to either disclose or not.

@Secret_Squirrel @molly0xfff my super cynical thought is they’re, in part, collecting replies to find all the employees with pronouns & DEIA keywords in their signatures. I hope most, if they reply yes, are deleting the rest.

@Secret_Squirrel
Maybe it's also the "Foot-in-the-door technique".

Make them comply on something harmless, so they are more likely to comply in the future.

God I hope this shit implodes ASAP.

We're going to lose a lot either way.

@molly0xfff Molly White, I’m following you solely so I can watch evidence hit my feed that leads to an indictable offence for Donald Trump. Keep digging. 🙏

@molly0xfff "walking onto the premises to setup a server" is a little bit of a weird way of putting it, they wouldn't really need to do that. If some gear was installed in their offices outside of the scope of their IT folks, far more nefarious purposes are likely rather than just an email server...
