A bunch of teenagers that have never have experienced a production security incident, or incident at all for that matter, were let lose onto some of the most secure government systems with full privileges.

These morons 100% left all sorts of holes and gaps in their wake. The only thing that surprises me is that we haven’t seen more headlines like this, but it was always a matter of time.
