I’ll save you a click: yes, of course it was a no bid contract. And:

> The procurement did not require the system to clear FedRAMP, the government’s security review for cloud systems handling sensitive data, before deployment. It described no independent audit, congressional notification or outside review of how the system would be used.

I don’t know how the US charts a path back from all this. There are going to be so many breaches to fix.

This is their global headquarters.

Yes, that appears to be the whole thing.
