We are absolutely gonna need to dig backdoors and rootkits out of the federal government for *years* afterwards.
🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

They got it, deployed rootkits and created backdoors, and all our systems are compromised now

Sweeney also hates Linux because he can't put rootkits on them and is why a lot of his games don't run on anything but windows.

So yea, there's also that

gamers are losers. they willingly install rootkits dude lmao

I hope it changes because the market rejects it. There have to be better ways to do anti-cheat than rootkits
Because Valve's new Steam Machine runs on SteamOS, a Linux-based platform, it means it's incompatible with the anti-cheat systems used to protect games like Battlefield 6. That means you won't be able to play it in multiplayer.

Die Musikindustrie wollte digitale Distribution kontrollieren. Sony installierte Rootkits, die RIAA verklagte Großmütter. Die besten Ingenieure bauten lieber Napster und BitTorrent.

I can't imagine the Linux community ever embracing rootkits for the sake of optional entertainment. It's pretty much antithetical to the reason Linux exists in the first place.

Here's my @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social talk about immutable linux

It has buckets and CDs with rootkits

If you think this is fine then add a bunch of rootkits to your software "because they should have updated their systems" and see how far that gets you.

if you think about it, malware is kink.

Trojan Horses? Non-con. Viruses? Breeding kink. Worms? Corruption kink. Rootkits? Corruption kink but more hypno-focused. Ransomware? Chastity, denial, edging, etc.

Antiviruses are therefore puritanical slop and must be destroyed

EVERY system Starlink touches, is installed with Rootkits you won't be able to get rid of.
he's anchoring his system in ways you do not know exist of yet.

Crunchyroll being Sony, the guys who put rootkits on physical CDs.

You can hide a lot of rootkits there.

I kinda learned Typescript in the last couple days. It's kinda okay. A couple things remind me of C# (maybe just because I was primed since it seems Microsoft is a big booster). I still suspect npm of being a hive of scum and villainy and rootkits

Have they checked for rootkits yet? any additional 'plugins' to starlink? do they even have a clue?
February 10, 2025 at 4:44 PM
Are rootkits still even a thing? The last time I was computer literate was in the 00's 😅
