Every report on this shows the data has been made much LESS secure now.


I was referring to how you'd conduct an audit. I don't mean adding extra security, I mean taking backups so they can't be tampered during the audit.


That’s the same thing though.

You think the treasury doesn’t have a metric ton of procedures, and laws, on data management, integrity, access, backup and retention?

Breaking these protocols by giving unfettered write access to this data to ridiculously inexperienced and ignorant goons exponentially increases the risk of data tampering and corruption…

It makes any kind of audit LESS likely to be accurate.

But they’re very obviously not doing any kind of credible audit. As mentioned, that’s literally impossible and nonsensical to do this way.


Untrained "auditors" will do an "audit" and blast the "results" all over X, Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN. Seems legit.
