Once again, America finds herself under attack not just from bad actors abroad, but from cyber criminals right here at home. A shadowy hacking group called ShinyHunters has been on a rampage, targeting some of the biggest companies and—even worse—critical government agencies. Their latest stunt? Breaking into the FBI’s own job recruitment site, run by yet another third-party contractor. This is what happens when bureaucracy outsources national security to clueless vendors more worried about woke policies than actual protection.
Now, the FBI brags about catching one of the people behind the hack. That’s good—catching cyber crooks is the bare minimum we should expect. But let’s not kid ourselves. It’s a drop in the bucket when the real story is how our federal bureaucracy keeps handing over important systems to whatever “expert” gets the government contract. Meanwhile, Big Tech liberals get to profit off your data, and when things go wrong, they blame “sophisticated hacking groups,” never their own incompetence.
The left loves to talk about “cyber resilience” and “public-private partnerships.” What they never mention is how these arrangements keep failing, again and again. American taxpayers foot the bill, jobs go overseas, and sensitive data ends up for sale on the dark web. Apparently, safeguarding American interests just isn’t as trendy as hiring the “right” DEI consultant or throwing money at climate projects.
Where’s the outrage? If these hacks happened during a Republican administration, the media would have gone wild. But because it’s liberal bureaucrats and their handpicked contractors, it’s business as usual. Americans are supposed to sit down, shut up, and trust the experts—even when those experts can’t keep the FBI’s own website safe from cyber thieves.
This country can do better. Maybe it’s time to put America first in government IT, stop coddling woke corporations, and start holding bureaucrats accountable when they sell out our security to the lowest bidder. Or should we just wait for the next cyber crook to help themselves to even more of our country’s secrets?
