Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been blamed for a “significant cybersecurity breach” that may have put sensitive U.S. labor data at risk, according to multiple reports.

Daniel Berulis, an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), testified in a sworn affidavit that the DOGE team was given sweeping access to the agency’s systems. He offered evidence that DOGE exported large amounts of data from the agency’s systems, risking a breach by foreign adversaries in the process.

Berulis’ lawyer, who shared his disclosure with the Senate, claims that he was threatened with a note taped to his door that included photos of him apparently taken by a drone.

    This and Kilmar Abrego Garcia are the threads we pull on.

    According to the whisteblower, DOGE came in and setup username and passwords on the NLRB systems. Almost immediately, somebody from Russia logged into the NLRB’s systems using those DOGE accounts and began downloading tons of information via Starlink.

    If that is proven to be the case, it is a definitive link between Musk and the Trump administration and Putin and grounds for treason charges.

      I feel like Andry Hernández Romero is a better victim to promote. It’s ridiculous on its face to claim a flamingly gay make-up artist is some hardened gang member.
