Tip of the iceberg. It is generally safe to assume that local government systems are vulnerable given the types of vendors they have and the horrendous wages they pay IT administrators.

The other year I was doxxed because of voter registration info. I couldn't even fathom that was public but dog bless, it is.

And the thing is it doesn't have to be this way. Other countries I have lived in have functional government websites and a decent amount of privacy. It's just in the US we have an obsession with government contracting driven by legalized corruption. The country is fucked. Even if Harris wins, it is only delaying the inevitable.

The only things that are inevitable are death and taxes. Governments being messy is normal. People being stupid is normal. Currencies failing is normal. So cheer up!
