    They created a huge database of personal information, that got “hacked”.

    I’ve got bridges to sell to anyone that that believes this wasn’t the plan.

      Hilariously Pete Hegseth’s ID was a part of this and is available for sale for 150 bucks.

    I was unable to read the article b/c,

    Ah, n/m, if I fully disable JS on the site, it loads without that interception! Anyone else ran into that, try disabling all JS. I had most disabled but was still running 1st party JS from the domain.

    I’ve read a few other stories about it. But none of them gave a way to know if you were in the breach. Early on you could apparently do it through the group who did the breach. But 1st I wouldn’t want to do that. And 2nd that has been taken offline anyway.

    Is there a known, private way? And without giving private info to an untrustworthy party in the process?
