Summary
Leaked records show that Tulsi Gabbard, now director of national intelligence, reused the same weak password across personal accounts for years, including during her congressional tenure on sensitive committees.
The password, containing “shraddha,” an offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement into which she was reportedly born and which former members have accused of being a cult, appeared in multiple data breaches.
Though not used on government accounts, the reuse violated basic cybersecurity practices. Gabbard’s team dismissed scrutiny as “bigoted” and politically motivated.
Experts warn such behavior poses serious security risks, especially given Gabbard’s current role overseeing U.S. intelligence and national security operations.
Shit, I need to change the password on my luggage…
(That joke hasn’t aged well, because the TSA has keys to unlock all our luggage now…)
You can just jam a ballpoint pen through most zippers then zip back over it to reclose leaving the lock undisturbed.
Yeah. A zipper on luggage you care about, is pretty stupid.
Those locks were never very secure in the first place.
Only if you use a TSA lock. And those TSA keys started as a collection of keys that were just commonly reused across locks, so people kept them around.
I’m pretty sure the keys got leaked online and you can 3d print copies for yourself
When you have a model number or entire brands or multiple brands that are all keyed alike and sold publicly, it hardly counts as a leak. You could go to Walmart and find them there too. Even before they were called TSA keys.
