  1. Yeah do any of those 95 year old congressmen even know how to use computers? Obvious clickbait. The entire internet is always constantly under attack from the rest of the internet. That’s not anything new.

    This is a threat to government email servers, and possibly compromises email security protocols.

    Has the New York Times assigned 75+ staff to this yet?

  3. > estimated that almost 1 in 5 congressional staffers had personal information available on the dark web. Proton said the leaks came from several sources, including social media, dating apps, and “adult websites.”

    So not from Congressional servers. Clickbait

  4. Bullshit headline. It should read *congressional staffers details found in dark web databases*
    >”Many of these leaks likely occurred because staffers used their official email addresses to sign up for various services, including high-risk sites such as dating and adult websites, which were later compromised in data breaches,”
