The threat has already been realized. Apparently a twitter user got into Pelosi's office and posted an screenshot of one of their computers (tweet deleted about an hour ago [1]). You can see the tweet at other sources [2]

There’s a good thread debunking that it was actually Pelosi’s computer as well as details of the security protocols around the computers: https://twitter.com/foone/status/1346924327996772354?s=21

The person you linked to believes it to be a government computer, that did not comply with the security protocols (which he says is “very common”).

There’s no debunk here. It’s a computer connected to the government network at Nancy peolosi’s desk. Anything else is just semantics.

Except the part where it is not her desk or computer: https://twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/status/134698517009265049...

Did anyone in the chain of comments, say that it was Pelosi's computer? The original poster of the photo, the person who broke in, only said it was in Pelosi's office, which seems true. It's obviously not Pelosi's email inbox visible on the screen, that doesn't need to be "debunked".

This is Hacker News I think we can do a bit better than posting screenshots, here is a way to see deleted tweets [0].
