Thank you to @Nonilex. This thread is the most detailed and alarming account of #covert #infosec breaches perpetrated by #DOGE “engineers” (#hackers) that I have read. We are very fortunate that a brave internal #Whistleblower at #NLRB made the report public even after he received personal threats. It reminds me of the movie “Enemy of the State” (1998) starring Will Smith. In both that fictional case and in the current DOGE #intelligence #threat, the technological power of nation states is used, under #ColorOfLaw, to coverup criminal behavior. There are also alarming indications of #Russia participating in stealing or receiving data that was covertly exfiltrated from the agency. We are watching the greatest #intelligence operation against the US as it is happening. masto.ai/@Nonilex/114342396149

For years I've been getting spam from this one "magazine", so as I comb through my junk mail every day I see stuff from them.

They've been on this campaign for months now, using the hashtag #HackersSuck.

I take offense.

Hackers are the pioneers and punks of the tech world. Without hackers, nobody would have what we all have today.

I understand their angle but it's a pet peeve of mine to use that term in the way they do.

I just want to highlight how important this #whistleblower report is. What this is reporting is real time infiltration of American citizen private data by #Russian #hackers because DOGE was giving them account info and passwords and the only thing stopping them was the #infosec rule forbidding out-of-country IP addresses.

#DOGE is either an active enemy of the United States or....yeah, I got nothing else. They are clearly enemy actors. Why is this not on every news channel right now? Why are marshals not frog-marching these little incels to their own cells?

"We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on US government systems," said one #threat #intelligence researcher…. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation - #StateSponsored #hackers, reviewed the #whistleblower's technical claims.

"The difference is, they [DOGE] were given the keys to the front door," the researcher continued.

& data has nothing to do w/making the govt more efficient or cutting spending.

Meanwhile, acc/to the disclosure & records of internal comms, members of the #DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system & then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools & manually deleting records of their access—evasive behavior several #cybersecurity experts compared to what #criminal or #StateSponsored #hackers might do.
