In a move that has left cybersecurity professionals speechless and late-night comedians overjoyed, the Mamdani administration has announced that former Congressman Anthony Weiner will serve as the city’s new IT Advisor.

Weiner, best known for his pioneering work in the field of accidental self-exposure, declared, “I’m thrilled to help the city modernize its digital infrastructure. It’s time to bring government technology into the 21st century—preferably with all our pants on.”

Opposition figures immediately praised the appointment. “He’s the perfect target,” said one rival. “He’s impossible to embarrass and, frankly, we’re excited to see what he’ll leak next.”

Insiders say Weiner’s first order of business is to migrate the city’s sensitive data to a private email server located in his bathroom closet, “where it’s safest—nobody wants to look in there.” He’s also introducing a bold new security protocol: all city laptops will be wrapped in a thick layer of duct tape, and every employee will be issued a burner phone with the camera lens pre-smeared with Vaseline.

“We’re embracing the dangers of oversharing,” explained a senior official. “Anthony’s unique experience means he knows exactly how to keep things out of the tabloids—unlike his old phone.”

Weiner himself has promised that, under his watch, “the city’s secrets will be more secure than my DMs after 10 p.m.” He’s already updated his official title from “IT Advisor” to “Chief Exposure Officer” and announced a new citywide initiative: ‘Click Responsibly, Forward Regretfully.’

When pressed for comment on his new email protocol, Weiner responded, “Don’t worry—I’ve set up a filter that automatically deletes anything with the words ‘leak,’ ‘scandal,’ or ‘oops.’ This time, I’ll keep everything under wraps. Literally.”
