The Hill: Pentagon investigating two-week email server leak
The Defense Department’s U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has confirmed that it is investigating how one of its servers leaked sensitive data for two weeks.
The Pentagon said it is evaluating the scope and impact of the potential data exposure, as well as looking to “understand the root cause of the exposure and why [the] problem was not detected sooner.” The agency also confirmed that it was able to secure the server on Monday and will be notifying any staff members affected by the leak.
“DoD takes this matter very seriously and will incorporate all lessons learned from this event to strengthen its cybersecurity posture,” U.S. Navy Cmdr. Jessica McNulty, a Department of Defense spokesperson, told The Hill.

OMFG!
I admit it. I checked to see if the DoD CIO was a diversity hire.
They were not, but it was just as bad. I think it was the Old Boy's Club IMO. I can't prove it, but here is the DoD CIO's resume
"Mr. Sherman is a 1992 Distinguished Military Graduate of Texas A&M University where he commanded the Corps of Cadets and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. He also earned a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Houston. Following graduation from Texas A&M, he served as an Air Defense Officer in the 24th Infantry Division. He is a graduate of the DoD CAPSTONE course, the “Leading the IC” course, and the CIA Director’s Seminar."

Would Twitter hire this guy as CIO? Yes, they would pre-Elon Musk.
I am just underwhelmed at the resume.
David W. McKeown's resume looks much better.

My question is: Was he the #2 guy when this went down or is he the replacement due to the audit and subsequent fiasco?
Why does the DOD CIO look so old? Because he is corn fed like everyone else on ultra-processed food? that is another strike against him. All that money and education and he cannot take care of his own health.
Corn Fed
