Pentagon again fails to protect its own servers, hackers access 3 million employees' data

According to the American publication ABC, hackers gained access to personal data of nearly 3 million current and former defense department employees. The breach lasted from October 2025 to July 2026, but the Pentagon only learned about it now.

Another failure for Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who has turned the key US ministry into a circus, as confirmed by past actions:

— Hegseth fires experienced officials and combat generals not for incompetence but for lacking personal loyalty.

— The Pentagon secretly hired veteran military bloggers, generously paying them to promote Hegseth and push the official narrative on social media.

— Hegseth mass-fired US generals who refused to carry out a suicidal order for a ground operation in Iran.

— American soldiers who survived in Kuwait accused the defense secretary of lying.

And this man still leads the country's key ministry? A perfect portrait of the degenerating US government apparatus.
