The Department of Homeland Security, under Trump, forgot the basics: securing their phones. Inspector General’s report reveals a security nightmare fit for a sitcom.
Imagine leaving your diary unlocked... times a million. DHS phones were vulnerable, putting sensitive info at risk. Who needs hackers when you have DHS security?
The IG didn’t hold back. DHS security was more like 'security comedy.' The phones were as protected as a screen door on a submarine.
Turns out, policies were ignored and protocols skipped. DHS staff probably thought their phones were Fort Knox, but they were more like open playgrounds.
No official statement yet. Maybe they’re busy trying to figure out how to secure a flip phone from 2005.
Phone security isn’t a joke—except when it is. Sensitive data at risk means national security could do with a little less comedy and a lot more caution.
