🚨 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.
