Russian Hackers or DOGE Dilemma? Whistleblower Unleashes Comedy of Errors at NLRB
Elon Musk’s DOGE is accused of sneaky data heists from government systems. A whistleblower claims the group exfiltrated sensitive data and disabled security measures, leading to a blocked login attempt from a Russian IP. The plot thickens as DOGE’s methods mirror those of crafty cybercriminals.
Hot Take:
