🚨 Whistleblower: Sensitive labor data may have been exfiltrated — and logs wiped to cover it up.

A whistleblower from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has come forward with alarming allegations: a White House-backed “efficiency” team, known as DOGE, may have accessed and removed confidential labor data — then attempted to hide their tracks.

What happened:

- DOGE staff allegedly demanded “tenant-owner” level access to internal systems
- Monitoring logs were disabled, audit trails erased, MFA turned off
- Engineers used virtual containers, automation tools, and DNS tunneling
- Around 10 GB of sensitive data was tracked leaving the agency — mostly untraceable
- One DOGE engineer’s GitHub listed a project called “NxGenBdoorExtract” — potentially tied to the agency’s case management system

Why it matters:

- The NLRB handles unionization efforts, whistleblower complaints, and unfair labor practice cases
- Exfiltrated data could expose witnesses, legal strategies, or proprietary business info
- Attempts to log in using DOGE credentials were traced to a Russian IP, raising national security concerns
- Internal cybersecurity safeguards were reportedly bypassed or disabled

Despite agency denials, the whistleblower's claims are backed by forensic data, internal records, and technical analysis by former FBI and federal cyber experts.

🔐 At Efani, we’ve always said: the most dangerous access isn’t external — it’s internal.
This story underscores why insider threat detection, least-privilege access, and unbroken logging are non-negotiable.

This isn’t just about one agency. It’s a wake-up call for cybersecurity across government.

So Elon Musk has finished his classified briefing from Pete Hegseth on U.S. China war plans. Not that he has any need to know. Not that he has any conflicts of interest. Not that he has any Chinese government relationships. Man, the U.S. is so, so very fucked. And personally I hope y'all take it out on your relatives who voted for this shit. Even if they're sorry now. FUCK THEM ALL.

Elon Musk to get briefing on China war plans? If so we are already on the tail end of the coup. It's like I threw 20+ years of my life protecting secrets down the drain. There was no reason for any of it. It was a waste. A majority of my neighbors, coworkers, family members thought national security was some kind of joke to be handed to an insane, foreign-compromised billionaire looking to convert the nation into an endless funnel for cash and a malignant narcissist Russian asset. #coup #corruption #natsec #InsiderThreats #treason
