- Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, used the same easily cracked password for different online accounts over a period of years, according to leaked records.
- The password included the word 'shraddha,' which appears to have personal significance to Gabbard, possibly linked to her reported initiation into the Science of Identity Foundation.
- Security experts warn against reusing passwords, as it increases vulnerability to hacking, especially for email accounts that can reset credentials for other accounts.
- Gabbard's spokesperson stated that the breaches occurred almost 10 years ago and that passwords have since been changed multiple times, denying any affiliation with the Science of Identity Foundation.
- As director of national intelligence, Gabbard oversees the US intelligence community and is responsible for maintaining the security of sensitive government information.
- Gabbard has faced criticism and accusations of being a 'direct threat to national security' due to past statements and alleged ties, which she addressed during her Senate confirmation hearings.
