White House Website Easter Eggs?

/in /by

Joe Biden is now the 46th president of the United States. So, the official White House website has gone live. It has a brand new design and even comes with a dark mode. The website is fully responsive and, unsurprisingly, a fun easter egg has been found, ridiculously quickly too.

Shortly after the new White House website went live, the internet discovered that if you dig into the HTML code of the website you’ll find something cool. A message from the White House’s internal tech team, the US Digital Service.

“If you’re reading this, we need your help building back better,”

It has a link back to it’s own website, with Protocol, being one of the first to spot the Easter egg.

Engadget are reporting that the message is no accident. As part of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan, there is $200M available for hiring additional personnel.

Biden’s administration plans to have more resources for the countries cybersecurity agencies in response to the SolarWinds hack. Which left both public and private organization victim to the Russian state-sponsored hackers.
