No shit? The thing security geeks have been warning about for years with all the cameras everywhere actually happened?

No way! Whodathunkit?

Imagine if the US gets saved by the fucking Mexican cartels that'd be crazy. Please let it happen 🀞

β€œhacked” or just used the FBI’s own backdoors?

Did the FBI just leave the password as Password1234!, fairly obvious security vulnerability having the cameras operate over normal IP.

It's the FBI, they're not that careless. It's Fbi1234!
