We’re doomed because the people are idiots.
If Patel didn't do such thing here, the breach should only expose personal stuff, if he did, then it's much more of a problem, but either way this is a really clear example of why concern was raised back at the time.
This hack of his emails is hilarious, though. And it made my day.
