I bet a million bucks the harddrive didnt "overheat".

Its just someone who doesnt know anything about computer hardware.

Its like me saying my car overheated if there is smoke coming out of it. I know nothing about cars.

No matter what actually happened here we can confidently state this clown is full of shit and has no idea what he's doing.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they'll do the 'full' data grab and 'find' what they were looking for.

Yeah. Hiring inexperienced children into government isn't fraud, by itself. But I bet it makes fraud way easier.

What’s the bet the software they downloaded is malware and it’s crypto mining?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

That's pretty plausible. Inexperienced engineer plus overheating...good chance that adds up to a malware infection.

I regularly work with data in the 16tb range and weirdly my computer is fine. Git gud, doge scrubs.
