Given the current political climate isn’t it kinda terrifying to have the CTOs of four tech giants with unlimited access to user personal data in the military chain of command?

    If they’re bringing on “IT leadership” people then the only place where they’re going to be bossing people around is cubicles, conference rooms, and operations centers.

    They may get people killed but it will be because they underestimated the damages caused by their hackers. In fact, I highly suspect that there will be a huge “collateral damage” incident from US/Israel hackers using an undisclosed vulnerability to break into something that “the bad guys” then use to break into some important systems all over the world.

    Imagine a major industrial control vulnerability that gets turned into a worm by Iran that then causes massive explosions and chemical fires all over the world. Even in countries that have nothing to do with their current conflict.
