Overview

• Leaked records show Tulsi Gabbard reused the same weak, easily cracked password across multiple personal accounts between 2012 and 2018.
• The password included the term 'shraddha,' sparking speculation about alleged ties to the Science of Identity Foundation, which Gabbard denies.
• Her spokesperson emphasized that the breaches occurred nearly a decade ago, the password has since been changed, and no government accounts were compromised.
• Cybersecurity experts warn that reusing passwords contravenes best practices and increases the risk of broader account compromise.
• As Director of National Intelligence, Gabbard oversees 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, raising questions about the importance of personal cybersecurity for public officials.
