Heard about this just a few hours ago, and have been laughing ever since. This is going to be brutal, there are people who registered with .gov e-mail addresses. As the use of 4chan has been cited to me as potentially disqualifying people seeking security clearance for government, police, or military careers, this hack single-handedly has the potential to torpedo thousands of edgy bois in one fell swoop.
I’ll never understand anyone that uses their school or work emails for social networking.
I mean, is there even any verification? Or could I just register as bigboners69@harvard.edu or potus@us.gov?
