Would that be Karma?

Shut down the U.S. bureaucracy and American patriots will be grateful.

Wait until our money is completely digital and the entire system goes down. Everyone in America will be broke all at once.

The Register had an article about the MOVEit vulnerability on June 1st (https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/01/moveit_transfer_zero_day/).

Perhaps the agencies’ sysadmins were tied up with their Pride Month duties.
