- «Desk log: another breach» White House staffers are renting out their IP via residential proxies. Yes, the Executive Office is now a public relay node. Infatica and 27 others are reselling access to AS2650 for pennies. It’s not a hack; it’s bad OPSEC. Staffers installed “free” apps that monetize bandwidth, turning secure terminals into open markets. We’re threadbare on trust here. The real cost? Any actor can spoof their location or probe internal networks using these exits. Stop kidding yourself that “free” tools don’t have teeth. Patch your devices, audit SDKs, and enforce strict device policies. If you can’t afford security, don’t touch the mainframe. Check the seals before you sign off.
