The password associated with the accounts in question includes the word “shraddha,” which appears to have personal significance to Gabbard: This year, The Wall Street Journal reported that she had been initiated into the Science of Identity Foundation, which ex-members have accused of being a cult.

yup! downplayed here, too. she was raised from childhood in that cult—groomed would be an apt word. that’s your shot, here’s your chaser: she’s presently a Lt. Colonel in the US Army Civil Affairs and **Psychological Operations** Command, based out of notorious Ft. Bragg.

Security experts advise people to never use the same password on different accounts precisely because people often do so. As director of national intelligence, Gabbard oversees the 18 organizations comprising the US intelligence community. Full story:

"Shraddha" is the Sanskrit word for respect or faith. It is plausible that her other passwords are similar Sanskrit words - quite possibly from a sub set of vehicles Sanhitas or Upanisads

We've been on BitWarden for a couple of years and love it. Syncs across all our devices, set up a family area so our daughter can use common log ins. It's great.

Gabbard is a walking security risk to the United States just as all the rest of trump's appointees. America is more unsafe today than at anytime in our history.

Even amateur civilian hackers can crack long human-readable passwords like YoGabbardGabbard12345. Government experts can crack complex passwords. If you're passwords don't look something like this then you aren't secure. h!M7MK2w2g^!9D!cKU*ne3Y2o

Always only the best. Most browsers and security services flag common and easily hacked passwords. If this bright bulb conducts national security the same way her personal digital hygiene, heaven forbid!

They talk about Tik Tok being a national security risk but from what I have seen since they have been in office nothing but extreme major national security failures that put our men and women in the military in harms way and the entire United States.

Tulsi Gabbard is, and has been a Russian asset for years. Republicans who confirmed her, have greatly endangered America's national security.

Her and Hegseth really make the pair… and then they would have you believe that there are “parallel organizations” everywhere nobody knows about running everything behind the scenes, yet, half a Tulsi would be enough for such organization to see all its secrets leaked on the internet.

This is a common problem. Should she know better? Yes. Is she the only one who has this issue? No. Does maga care? No. Does Trump care? No. Will elected officials do ANYTHING about it? No. Trump is a dictator now because no one with an ounce of power is holding him accountable.

She is just another member of this GOP gaggle of thieves, liars and criminals, who are too lazy and lacking the intelligence and skills to run a corner lemonade stand, let alone the government. Oh they love the power and financial advantages but doing a serious job is beyond them. What a disgrace!

It's so easy to maintain internet security as well. My password for the work I do with MI5 is glSooSAB9:2F>XvOOx*h. I've had it for years, but it's so random no one has ever cracked it. It amazes me how careless some people can be.

At this rate, our adversaries will be urging Donnie’s Cabinet to improve communications security because they will be worried about THEIR secrets being shared in Signal chat groups.

Gabbard is a coward. Most people think of courage as a character trait. But it’s more like a muscle—one that grows when exercised and atrophies when ignored. Right now, in America, cowardice is contagious. But so is courage.

Short of killing animals or abusing people to do so, I don't care about scars, beauty routines, or skin care. For postitions of power, I care about the intelligence, compassion, and actions of the individual. And I find her lacking in the first two as evidenced by her words and actions.

Everyone of felon45's picks are a security problem!! Not one of them should be in government let alone the Whitehouse with top level clearances. The biggest risk is felon45 who has already proven he can't be trusted with top secret information. EVER!!!!!!!!

The irony of her being the director of national intelligence is not lost on me, but I think people would be surprised to find out just how many government employees/officials use passwords like "departmentname5" and then when it gets forced to change every 3 months, change to "departmentname6"

I think that I would be surprised if you had any information whatsoever on what gov't employees use for passwords. I think that I would not be surprised to discover that you pulled that accusation out of a certain orifice.
