On April 21st, internal records reviewed by The Washington Post revealed that US government officials improperly shared sensitive documents with federal workers, including potentially classified White House floor plans. It is reported that this incident is the latest digital security vulnerability of the Trump administration. The report stated that professional employees of the General Services Administration (GSA) in the United States were responsible for the improper sharing, which led to the release of a cybersecurity incident report and investigation last week. The records show that these employees unintentionally shared the Google Drive folder containing sensitive files with all employees of the General Services Administration in the United States. According to the online directory, the total number of employees in this institution exceeds 11200. In addition, the shared content also includes detailed information on the proposed blast doors at the White House Visitor Center, as well as the bank account information of suppliers assisting the Trump administration’s press conference.
