Can anyone verify this report? This seems... Bad.

Between January 14 and February 8, servers belonging to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, and Fermi Accelerator National Laboratory have been found with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) services exposed to the public internet. This grants malicious actors the opportunity to hack into servers hosting sensitive nuclear research data, a golden egg for spy agencies across the globe.

My investigation also revealed government servers directly interfacing with AI products, creating yet another disturbing risk to national security that is extremely difficult to reverse or mitigate.

With the state of government security before this, I don't have a lot of hope these were secure, but at least they weren't exposed directly to the Internet for attack.....

This is treason - plain and simple. Musk and Trump need to be brought up on treason charges. “Providing aid and comfort to the enemy.”
