DOGE Drama: Treasury Tattle and the Tweeting Turncoat!
DOGE aide Marko Elez emailed sensitive info unencrypted to Trump officials, breaching Treasury policy. The lawsuit claims DOGE’s Treasury snooping was insecure and illegal. Elez, linked to controversial tweets, resigned after his access was scrutinized. Despite speculation, no unauthorized system alterations were found. His email antics, however, were a different tale.
Hot Take:
When you mix DOGE, the Treasury, and a sprinkle of racism, you’ve got a recipe for a cybersecurity calamity that even Elon Musk can’t meme his way out of. Perhaps it’s time to leave the financial hacking to the professionals—or at least to those who won’t email it all unencrypted to their friends.
Key Points:
- A former DOGE aide violated Treasury policy by emailing an unencrypted database containing sensitive information.
- The lawsuit involves challenges against DOGE’s access to the Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Services (BFS).
- David Ambrose testified about the security breach initiated by then-DOGE operative Marko Elez.
- Speculation about Elez’s access to Treasury systems was proven inaccurate.
- Despite the data breach, the information was deemed low-risk as it lacked sensitive identifiers.
