NOAA Email System Exploited After Trump Administration Policy Change

A new federal communication system allowed mass spamming of 13,000 NOAA employees, raising concerns about security and functionality.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's email system was compromised, enabling external individuals to send mass emails to all 13,000 employees.
The breach has been linked to a newly implemented federal communication system introduced by the Trump administration, which lacks adequate security measures.
Emails sent to NOAA employees included vulgar, abusive, and spam content, such as Scientology sign-up links and offensive messages.
Journalist Ken Klippenstein demonstrated the system's vulnerability by sending a newsletter link to all NOAA employees, highlighting the ease of exploitation.
The White House has not commented on the incident, while concerns grow about the system's impact on federal agency workflows and security.
