Summary
Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.
The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.
Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.
The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.
I looked up the MX records and they’re using the non-government version of Office365. The big difference between the gov and non-gov versions is that the former is staffed with only US citizens, whereas the latter is mostly poorly paid foreign nationals who I’m sure would love a big payday from China, Russia or Iran.
Maybe we should start a fundraiser for this info. Like a bounty.
