    The public facing data was never the problem.

    We have no idea what is being nuked off the backend, copied offline and into AI

    Employee records, Tax records, medical records, things like that.

    Then there is the problem of private servers plugged into government networks that are obviously bypassing firewalls and prime targets for foreign governments because they aren't secured and designed to be remote accessed.

    How do they guarantee none of it is modified?
