The politicians that voted for this better be also hacked.

Well, potentially.

In that arstechina article (orignal exposé here) about the journalist's ID getting leaked hours after getting a rental car, they mentioned Pete Hegseth's data was accessible too (screenshot and all).

So yeah, our very smart goverment loves to fuck over their most powerful too just to piss on the poors and ensure we are watched at all times.

Hilariously Pete Hegseth’s ID was a part of this and is available for sale for 150 bucks.

Quick to whomever stole it, buy out liquor stores, his credit card company won't notice.
