    But the most shocking allegations came from Bakaj, who not only claimed that accounts based in Russia were using newly created DOGE usernames and passwords to access sensitive data, but also directly tied the effort to Elon Musk and his Starlink concerns, which has a relationship with the Kremlin.

    “There are two data points that I wanna point out that should give everybody pause,” Bakaj said. “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.”

    Jiminy Fuck. These fucking traitorous clowns are just flipping all the Destroy America switches and the pithed chuds who put them there can’t even spell computer.

      My conspiracy theory is that thaey know that meteor is going to hit the u.s. and they plan to take whatever they can and bounce to Russia.

        I know this is a joke, but the orbit has been narrowed down and it isn’t going to hit Earth. Last I saw it had a very small chance to hit the moon though, which would be quite the event. Even that’s incredibly unlikely.

        Climate Change. That’s the meteor. That’s behind the dive to annex Canada and Greenland. It’s also why Peter Theil has a bunker in New Zealand.

        All because there will be areas of climate stability to go with the areas rendered uninhabitable.

        Russia is likely to be a climate winner. For a time anyway.

        The super rich will just bounce around the globe between islands of stability.

        The rest of us will die in the water wars.

    Is “security breach” still the right terminology if it was a deliberate act?

    Uhm, there is another bit in this article…

    And then the other thing that I wanted to flag for everybody is that right now that, I don’t want to say that this is intentional, it could very well have been a mistake, is that critical infrastructure databases and many government agencies, as we understand it, have been exposed to the open internet, which includes critical databases at the Department of Energy, which includes a lot of our nuclear regulatory agency material.

      From air gapped, no external devices in secured rooms to open to the internet… “oops”

      I’m sure no extra Russian logins were added there

        That’s the fun part, over 20 DOGE employee credentials were used from Russian servers. You don’t need extras if all your new staff are openly aiding Russia.

      Musk, like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Marc Andreesson - the list of tech billionaires goes on - doesn’t want a democracy. They want to replace the elites. They want a technocracy/monarchy, just like Musk’s grandfather tried to implement.

      Traitors is 100% the word.

      “I no longer believe democracy and freedom are compatible” - Peter Thiel

      “If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia.” - Curtis Yarvin

    They have the IP addresses logging in, and the data going out, the proof is all there.

    I was expecting truly incredible levels of stupidity and malfeasance, and yet, they’re completely blowing away my expectations every fucking day. Jesus tapdancing christ.

    The fact that DOGE caused a security breach is the least shocking news I can think of.
