See the sticky taped under the screen?
As of writing this, the post is still available. Hopefully he's had his password reset by now. https://twitter.com/RepMoBrooks/status/1401627240123846657

Another reason why passwords should be easy to remember but hard to guess: "purposewater2hotdog" instead of Elon Musk's children names.
jakers86
He has immense power,but is too stupid to take a screenshot? We do not live in a meritocracy if the top people aren’t above average
Xerrai
Incoming with the "it was an old password that was changed before the tweet" excuse
bizzybanana
Old fucks who can’t remember what their password is need to be out of congress.
FunSociety
Yeah, hopefully had his password reset, by somebody else.
makesense
Not to mention that his wife answering the door is not 'sneaking in'.

m454m956 = (m)o + april(4) + 19(54) + (m)artha + september(9) + 19(56)
momar5456 = (mo) + (mar)tha + 19(54) + 19(56)

Post is still up but it was cropped. Why they even bothered doing that much I don't know. Once on the internet, permanently on the internet.
biomechanic2010
I just finished a medical app and the client couldn't help but mention, "sounds like Hilary and her emails.". ...wtf are you talking about?
DreamingOfDistantShores
Oh no, the poor guy. what if someone figures out his other passwords and finds evidence of insurrection or something in his emails!
tornik
I'm sure that immediate, severe corrective action will be taken.
fpsucks
lol wat a fukn idiot
FBKatB3tadotcom1
Hurriedly changes password
SilverNicktail
Oh MAN the RANDOM CAPITALS are how you KNOW that this is SOME FAKE outrage from OLD white FUCKS.
hellvis
And easily guessable. It's his and his wife's names and their birth years. These fucking relics shouldn't be allowed to touch technology.
hellvis
And the pin above it is first initial birth month/year for him and his wife. WTF

Any chance we can replace Mo Brooks with *Mel* Brooks? Would be an improvement...

The PIN looks to follow a similar format as well. Could probably work out some other passwords, like Twitter.
C0baltBlue
Oh my God. moma5456 - He is Mo, born in 1956. His wife is Martha born in... 1976. Maybe he already changed it once.
C0baltBlue
Apparently married '76. Wife was born in '56. What a knob.
SapphireXK
Password changed 5 months ago, attempted reset, 2fa enabled on a Galaxy J7, guessed secret "childhood friend".

TheDogEnd
That moment when you take the opportunity to sign his gmail up to a bunch of gay porn websites and the site greets you with a "welcome back"
Treblaine
Do gay porn sites still have to make a pride version of their logo for Pride Month? They should, just to be on the safe side.
TheDogEnd
Nobody HAS to make pride-filters for their brands, they choose to
Treblaine
Companies that chose to make pride-filters also choose to donate money to anti-gay politicians so there's interesting choices.
TheDogEnd
Fair point. I'll never defend all their decisions, just saying it's voluntary not mandatory. Don't mean to come off too strong
Mark2dot0
Or it prompts you with a "Oh did you want to unsubscribe?"

AnonOmis1000
Considering their intelligence level, its no surprise.
williamoftheoak
I think the biggest thing here is that he doesnt know "print screen" exists.
Adualion
Or snipping tool which is the quickest way to take screengrabs and quickly post them into discord

Its still his birthday (April 1954) and his wife's birthday (September 1956)

My God, that's his PIN too with the months. Nobody try and hack his Twitter.
Kurama99
I was being facetious but yeah, it's not good.
Mosquitoesalsohaveasweettooth
And yet he still felt the need to write it down. Wow.
comehomefransbrauder
Mo Morris 54 56. Idiot. Probably the same for his bank too. Lolol.
2ndplaceisasetofsteakknives
The best part is he doesn't even know how to take a screenshot.
aodhfin
I think we're lucky he didn't actually shoot the screen.
Adualion
I'm legit fucking shook about it. He sits on the SCIENCE SPACE AND <> COMMITTEE AND HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO USE A FUCKING PC
Randomusername210
Was thinking the same. How can you sit on a tech committee and not know that. People that never learned to set their VCR run the country
Illithidbane
Strikes more as an intentional "see me at work, here's my own desk/screen with this pulled up to review" but yes, still stupid with the PW
BSwann
I'm sure there's alot to criticize him for but if he's doing it from his phone this is alot faster/easier.

just press print screen button on the keyboard then "paste" a jpeg of the screen.
Tygerion
Instructions unclear: my monitor is now covered in glue. /s ... Seriously, though, how do you land a job with that little competency?
Treblaine
He ran unopposed for his seat as a Republican in Alabama. A ham sandwich could win such an election.
proxykalevra
Press start type snip... You just found the windows screenshot tool that lets you define what to screen shot so you don't over share...
Somebody721
Or, since that looks like Win10, Windows key + print screen and you can skip the pasting part.
LucidAftermath
Thanks
DarkAshelin
In Word, ofc
Treblaine
That would still be better than this.
Illithidbane
I can't tell you how many Word docs with uselessly compressed screenshots I've received from clients.

HoytLancaster
That fucked with me a bit
Slugsie
So he's using Gmail, rather than a secure government email address? I do hope he's not using it for official business.
ShittyButtPlug
Probably G Suite, the corporate version of Gmail
Bomboque
Hey, that's the combination on my luggage. Spaceballs the punchline.
NeteaPolyDruidMom
Actually a lot of places use Gmail as their base. Doesn't mean it's not federally owned
GrassssssssTastesBad
Because of buttery males?
halcyonsky
Buttery males? This isn't Lindsey Graham...

Gmail is also a product sold to private, enterprise corporations and Government agencies and not just for personal @gmail accounts.
Tangentbordskrigare
Pretty sure the US gov doesnt use gmail

My GF works for the US federal government and uses gmail.

A lot of government agencies actually use gmail. They still have a .Gov, but product is gmail. I load gmail to get into mine each day.

"But his emails!" Didn't Ivanka also run into this early on in trumps time at the WH?

Yes

Everyone in the Trump Whitehouse did it, and....crickets. Rules for thee, not for me.

Not only that but her excuse was word for word what Hillary said. The was a video comparing them.

TheDogEnd
Like Republicans ever fucking cared and weren't using that pretext to attack a political enemy. Republicans don't actually have values
Illithidbane
They do have values. Two, specifically: Power and Money.
tentacularfleshscape
Those aren't values they are objectives. Any values that get in the way are discarded
SirQuackerz
Three.... you forgot white supremacy
Illithidbane
That's mostly just because they're white and they want the power. Honestly, even money is just a proxy for power. It's all power.
SoundFuture
It's also possible that Gmail is the interface rather than the host server, but either way I hope it isn't official business.
gratefulheart
Google hosted email is secure if you manage it and have it setup with higher levels of authentication (2-factor). The Gmail interface is…
gratefulheart
…what’s up front, but it’s a different product than straight gmail.
SoundFuture
Yup. I have both. Using two-factor logins is a big boost in security. You might get into a random machine because of a vulnerability /1
SoundFuture
but getting into another specific device on another platform to pair to it is exceedingly unlikely and very hard to hide the attempt. /2
