A new broadcast email system initiated by the Trump administration has been exploited, resulting in an abusive email being sent to 13,000 employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The incident, which raised concerns about security and screening, underscored flaws in the system that allow messages to reach all agency employees indiscriminately. NOAA's Deputy Director Scott Smullen acknowledged the issue and pledged to address it. Journalist Ken Klippenstein further demonstrated the laxity by sending a link to his newsletter to the entire group, highlighting the ease of exploiting this new communication framework.
The incident demonstrated just how easy it is to exploit a new broadcast system set up by the Trump administration this month.
I just sent this email to all 13,000 federal employees of the NOAA lol. The Trump administration's changes to their communications system made it so literally anyone can blast messages out to the entire agency.
