DOGE operations 'largest IT security breach in history'
Concerns about the personal financial and data security of all Americans have been raised in a flood of calls to Congress, and in a letter from senators to the White House
The Atlantic is reporting that IT security specialists who worked on highly sensitive data systems accessed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at Treasury, Personnel Management, NOAA, and other agencies, describe that access as:
“the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known.”
Concerns about the personal financial and data security of all Americans have been raised in a flood of calls to Congress, and in a letter from senators to the White House, noting:
“There are strict cybersecurity controls for accessing federal networks, which DOGE does not seem to be following, including by reportedly connecting personal devices to sensitive government systems.”
