Whistleblower reveals evidence on how Elon Musk's DOGE team extracted 10 GB of sensitive data about American citizens from a government agency, and then deleted accounts and logs to cover their tracks.

Then, when the whistleblower tried to report the data breach, he received a threatening letter containing pictures taken from a drone watching him walking his dog.

Oh your file doesn't mention that your middle name is Jesus, but that should be proof enough that you are a filthy Hispanic who belongs south of the border. Give me a moment to call the ICE tip hotline. So enjoy your free vacation in El Salvador.

My entire adult life I have been hearing from Republicans railing against the evils of Big Guvernment and it is literally the first thing they do when they get completely control of said government. 45+ years of nonstop lies.

@KanaMauna @randahl It's what I keep saying: They're full of shit. All of them. Always. Everywhere. It is NEVER, EVER about "legitimate concerns" because the fucking nanosecond one of them acquires any sort of power they immediately drop every single one of those "concerns" while the rest of them, also having suddenly forgotten those "concerns", gleefully whoop & cheer - all of them without a single iota of conscience.

@randahl "the NxGen case management system hosts proprietary data from corporate competitors, personal information about union members or employees voting to join a union"

Why does the government even keep records of people voting to form a union? Of course Musk is interested if any of them works for him...
That's why you should not even collect that much data. If it falls into wrong hands... like NOW, this can end bad for so many people who did NOTHING WRONG.

Congress doesn't have a lot of authority with complicit fools in the majority, but they do have investigative authority. This seems like a scandal that would end an administration in ordinary times.
