I'm totally sure it was an accident. I'm sure we've all made the mistake of opening Шет_Рцссу.mp4.exe after receiving it as an email attachment from Elmo. /s

Joke aside, that's some pretty impressive incompetence. Not once. Not twice. Multiple times. The guy ran infostealer malware multiple times over the course of multiple years.

So... breaking this down..his work laptop has malware on and the gov IT system isn't finding it... for ~2 years...?!

Before reading the article I wondered whether this was a targeted attack or if he's just inept, but:

According to journalist Micah Lee, user names and passwords for logging in to various accounts belonging to Schutt have been published at least four times since 2023 in logs from stealer malware. Stealer malware typically infects devices through trojanized apps, phishing, or software exploits.

So not only is he inept enough to regularly keep getting infected with info stealer malware (probably from installing / running idiotic shit), he's inept enough that he doesn't seem to have noticed, or if he did notice he certainly didn't learn from it.

Funny how conservatives so often seem to be absolute dogshit at anything they do

You know what, I'm surprised it took this long

I had to read the title three times before I realized this was about the organization and not the crypto. Ugh.

Of course it is. And now all of our social security numbers are probably on the dark web. I mean, AT&T already did that last year, but now they’re on there twice.

So all of our info DOGE stole from the govt about us, that was probably on that idiots computer was stolen?

Lies.

You cant be infected with malware if malware is already your default system of operation.
