New, at KrebsOnSecurity.com: Marko Elez, a 25-year-old employee at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been granted access to sensitive databases at the U.S. Social Security Administration, the Treasury and Justice departments, and the Department of Homeland Security. So it should fill all Americans with a deep sense of confidence to learn that Mr. Elez over the weekend inadvertently published a private key that allowed anyone to interact directly with more than four dozen large language models (LLMs) developed by Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI.

"Again and again and again and again, Johnson & Johnson has released products that it knew were dangerous (and refused to remove from the market those that it learned were harmful): it knew there was asbestos in its baby powder, and it knew that asbestos and talc were carcinogenic; it knew that its anti-psychotic drug Risperdal caused weight gain in children and increased the likelihood of strokes in the elderly; it knew that its new hip implant was likely to fail; it knew that its opioid Fentanyl was highly addictive; it knew that its birth control patch Ortho Evra contained estrogen levels that far exceeded allowable levels. It knew and it still pressed its pills and procedures into the hands of doctors and patients."

“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening. I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.”
