A whopping 13,000 federal employees reportedly received an abusive email on Thursday after a new broadcast system was quickly exploited. In an email with the subject header, “Resign,” all 13,000 federal employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reportedly received the abusive message, which read, “Aren’t you tired of working for a complete cunt?”
“I’m sorry this happened to us,” responded NOAA Deputy Director of Communications Scott Smullen in a memo to staff. “I will report it.” The incident demonstrated just how easy it is to exploit a new broadcast system set up by the Trump administration this month. “Goes to show you how fast this [new comms system] was cobbled together – no security or screening on this address,” a NOAA employee told journalist Ken Klippenstein, who broke the news.

Klippenstein himself also managed to exploit the system, sending a link to his newsletter to all 13,000 employees of the government agency. “I just sent this email to all 13,000 federal employees of the NOAA lol,” he announced. “The Trump administration’s changes to their communications system made it so literally anyone can blast messages out to the entire agency.”

As expected, someone ALREADY hacked into Muskrat's "all employees" email system.
