Sweden's Transport Agency moved all of its data to "the cloud", apparently unaware that there is no cloud, only somebody else's computer. In doing so, it exposed and leaked every conceivable top secret database: fighter pilots, SEAL team operators, police suspects, people under witness relocation. Names, photos, and home addresses: the list is just getting started. The responsible director has been found guilty in criminal court of the whole affair, and sentenced to the harshest sentence ever seen in Swedish government: she was docked half a month's paycheck.

    Yes that country is useless at every level of governance. And I dare to blame Feminism.

    Most hillarious part, for me anyway, is the fact that the reason they have so much data is because they decided to gather as much data on their own citizens as possible (for no good reason).
