Once again, America’s wide-open digital back door has proven to be an invitation for foreign crooks. This time, a Romanian cybercriminal slipped into the Oregon state government’s computer network, plundering sensitive information and selling it off to the highest bidder. These aren’t “victimless” crimes happening in some anonymous online space — hardworking Americans are the ones paying the price while bureaucrats sit on their hands.
The facts are beyond disturbing. Yet another so-called “international hacker” wormed his way into our government systems, collected a load of personal data, and handed it over to criminals. He raked in at least a quarter of a million dollars while American citizens were left vulnerable and exposed. How did this happen? Because our government, overrun with left-wing incompetence, won’t take border security or cyber security seriously. They love to talk about “equity” and “diversity,” but can’t manage to lock the digital front door.
The same globalist crowd that pushes for endless open borders is asleep at the wheel when it comes to virtual security. The Department of Justice and the FBI are quick to announce every time they snag a foreign criminal, but where is the accountability for the failures that allow these attacks to begin with? The only thing “protected” in these “protected computers” seems to be the jobs of bureaucrats who couldn’t stop a digital thief if he walked in with a ski mask and a note.
The hacker in question was finally arrested overseas and shipped back to the United States after years on the run. The authorities are patting themselves on the back for finally catching him. But let’s not ignore the $350 million in victim losses that keep piling up year after year. That’s real money bleeding out of American pockets — while the so-called “experts” in D.C. congratulate themselves for fighting “global cybercrime.”
This isn’t just about a tech-savvy crook from Romania. It’s about a country that refuses to act tough or put American citizens first. If we had leaders who cared more about protecting Americans than appeasing international bureaucrats, maybe Oregon wouldn’t have become a hacker’s playground. Is it any wonder Americans have stopped trusting the people in charge?
