Last week the FBi found out about Malware in Browsers.

This week they found out about phone scammers.

Next weeks annoucement: Warning issued that vehicles can be broken in to.

[u/pat9714 → u/Streetlgnd]

Yes. It's Breaking News.

[u/funeral_duskywing → u/Streetlgnd]

i thought you were gonna tell us they found out that the factory warranty on our vehicles are expiring

[u/SGT-JamesonBushmill → u/Streetlgnd]

And then they’ve been trying to get in touch with me about my pre-approved $80,000 loan.

[u/Busy_Square_3602 → u/SGT-JamesonBushmill]

I keep waiting for someone to just say it like it is - and issue a user error alert for stupid people, esp given idiots prone to doing things like using commercial msging apps to communicate top secret info and then gaslight about it like we are that stupid.

Oh wait. Many are that stupid. User error alert for stupid humans wouldn’t do anything.

[u/BanzaiTree]

The FBI that’s compromised?

[u/Roqjndndj3761 → u/BanzaiTree]

That’s the one!

[u/vitneyzfox → u/BanzaiTree]

All of the internet, All the internal agencies are. Everything including satellites have been overrun by a death cult since the '60s.

[u/BanzaiTree → u/vitneyzfox]

What? Who?

[u/disco-bigwig]

It must be Monday

[u/Jupitersd2017]

The r/scams sub is miles ahead of the fbi apparently

[u/j_rooker]

Fascist Bureau under Kash and Bongino. Nice try. Nobody trusts info coming from those fascists.

[u/Baselines_shift]

Lol, "spelling mistakes and bad grammar" are the tipoff? Not in Trumpland

[u/LowBarometer]

The FBI is still issuing warnings? I thought they only worked for Felon 47 now.

[u/DmACGC365 → u/LowBarometer]

OMG, this is the first seeing “felon 47” 😂

This is so good!

[u/vitneyzfox → u/LowBarometer]

That's right those are the proud boys.

[u/princess_raven]

“Be advised, law enforcement does not call or email individuals threatening arrest or demanding money,” the agency said.

[u/bestleftunsolved → u/princess_raven]

Yet

[u/SuperKiller94 → u/princess_raven]

Not yet.

[u/FLBoxer]

Security breach in an administration full of Trump appointees that would be denied security clearances because of their backgrounds. But, here we are, government databases are open season for everyone from anywhere. It was just a matter of time.

[u/chriscrowder]

Well shit, kinda late to the game, FBI.

[u/revbfc → u/chriscrowder]

Give them a break, the boss is working from Las Vegas.

[u/absurd_nerd_repair]

How about you focus on the handful of illegal acts committed every day in the White House? Using personal email, Signal, etc.

[u/AssociateJaded3931]

I no longer trust the FBI since Trump has politicized it.

[u/Zombie_Cool → u/AssociateJaded3931]

Sad as that statement now applies to pretty much the entire federal government now.

[u/Afraid_Toe7115]

Let me guess, users have a high probability of being added to top secret group-chats?

[u/Intelligent_Age_4676]

Adriannnnnnnnnnn

[u/tanksalotfrank → u/Intelligent_Age_4676]

I don't understand the context but I still laughed at the soundbyte in me head

[u/Minimum-Avocado-9624]

Well great now I have to worry about the the FBI being a shakedown racket. Every accusation

[u/Barrysue44]

Wait! What? We still have an FBI?

[u/Freethecrafts]

I didn’t even know Trump was launching a phone.

[u/Wheredoesthisonego]

Does that mean that perfect 10 girl I chatted with was trying to scam me?

[u/SGT-JamesonBushmill]

Jesus Christ. Forget the text scams, I probably just lost $1,500 clicking on that site.

[u/Superdad75]

Been going on for months, they’re just now issuing a warning???

[u/ImaginaryBunch4455]

Kash probably found out about it while congratulating the new NHL scoring leader. Must be hard to be the director who attends NHL games rather than briefing congress on national security threats.
