— Tulsi Gabbard Reused the Same Weak Password on Multiple Accounts for Years | WIRED
Good thing she’s not in charge of anything important.
The Director of National Intelligence, ladies and gentlemen.
I would write her password, but my keyboard can’t do Cyrillic
Honestly, of all the ridiculous shit this administration has been up to, this kinda pales by comparison…or I suppose it would, if she weren’t the US Director of National Intelligence.
That’s because she’s a backdoor
Gee, who would’ve guessed that this administration is incompetent in every regard?
She’s already sending Russia whatever they want. Why the need for security?
Whether you like her or not, we should have listened to Hillary Clinton when she warned everyone about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian asset in 2016. She was 100% correct. She also warned everyone about Donald Trump being in bed with Putin and his aims to dismantle NATO, claims Trump completely denied then. Trump took office and immediately started criticizing and threatening NATO while repeating Kremlin talking points.
Clearly this is Bidens fault for letting her use the same password all these years. /s
Changing her password would be annoying for her superiors in Russia.
This could be a clever way to pass info Moscow without leaving a trail
But her emaiiiiilllls…
Known Russian asset doing totally Russian asset things
The only thing that’s hard to tell is was this a bug stemming from her incompetence, or a feature stemming from her being a compromised foreign asset.
That’s so it’s easy for someone to log in other than her
As with all Trump appointees, talent and intelligence were not a qualification. Thats not entirely true, it’s actually required not to have them.
Are these politicians not required to take the basic class on information security that all other government employees have to take, or do they just think it doesn’t apply to them?
Isn’t this the person who was in a religious cult in Hawaii?
One of my passwords that I used last year, which was retired at the beginning of 2025, was “Magnets!HowTheFuckDoTheyWork?” A similar brute force attack would take 10^33 years (or just a little after the heat death of the universe). Why are there amateurs running our national security?
Online password strength calculators are pretty unreliable and the speed entirely depends on how the password is hashed and how much hardware you throw at cracking. Using a single 5090 set to alphanumeric characters only, ‘shraddha’ would take on average:
- md5($pass) — 8.25 minutes
- sha1($pass) — 25.9 minutes
- sha256crypt — 1.3 years
- bcrypt(sha1($pass)) — 13.4 years
- bcrypt(md5($pass)) — 13.5 years
- scrypt — 446 years
But none of that really matters since ‘shraddha’ exists on pwnedpasswords’ known passwords list, which would significantly cut down all these times since you always do a dictionary attack first (or check rainbow table for md5/sha1)
That shit ass had classified documents in his shitter. Security isn’t a priority for MAGA. And when some terrorist uses this info in an attack, Biden will still be blamed.
That’s why it’ll never get better. Too much of the US population (and some of the rest of the world too) have just had their brains utterly melted by social media and right wing propaganda that can’t be reversed.

Oh, I definitely remember that’s a meme, but I won’t recall it.
Tulsi Gabbard, now the US director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts including a personal Gmail account and Dropbox over a period of years, leaked records reviewed by WIRED reveal.
The password associated with the accounts in question includes the word “shraddha,” which appears to have personal significance to Gabbard: This year, The Wall Street Journal reported that she had been initiated into the Science of Identity Foundation, which ex-members have accused of being a cult.
Security experts advise people to never use the same password on different accounts precisely because people often do so. As director of national intelligence, Gabbard oversees the 18 organizations comprising the US intelligence community.
I think this is a more common interpretation of the word: In Hindu philosophy, śraddhā (श्रद्धा) signifies sincere faith, trust, or devotion. It is not blind belief but a deep confidence in spiritual truths, practices, or teachings. For instance, the Bhagavad Gita emphasizes śraddhā as the driving force behind one’s actions and spiritual inclinations.
