Summary
Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.
Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.
Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.
Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.
Wonder if they have a NAC and if those who manage it would kill all packets to and from that server. Surely the government has some infosec professionals who will uphold their oaths and do their jobs.
They are civil servants, they have to choose between knocking him off the network or feeding their kids next week.
There’s also a chance they are siding with him.
I don’t want to sound too doomery but their lives may honestly be on the line.
suuuurely… 😭
