White House floor plans accidentally shared with 11,000+ GSA staff.
Yes, really.
This latest digital security debacle—under both Biden and Trump—reveals a dangerous lack of oversight and digital hygiene inside our most sensitive government systems.
We need accountability. We need reform.
We need to take cybersecurity seriously.

The Brand New Shiny booking system for City recreation programs like swimming lessons does not warn you that if you use the same email address for your children on your profile, it will lock you out of the system for being under 13.

Voicemail left with the parks department. I doubt I'll get a call back.

Somehow no one at vendor flagged this before going live?

How much did the city spend on this?

This is what infuriates people about government.

The prospect of "free money" is indeed tempting but did people forget that banks track every transaction? Even if you transferred funds you didn't have to a #Revolut account and then ended up withdrawing the cash at the #ATM machine, the transaction is still tracked even though the bank allowed you to "withdraw" the cash.

The Bank of Ireland did confirm that the technical glitch has been resolved & would still credit the amounts withdrawn from customer's bank accounts.

The bank stated:

These transfers and withdrawals will be applied to customers’ accounts today. We urge any customer who may find themselves in financial difficulty due to overdrawing on their account to contact us.
