    When news dropped that one of them was a former member of a cybercrime group, I thought the same thing as the writer stated: now this big amateur-run data source is a target for cybercrime prestige and rivalry, on top of state sponsored adversaries who are probably already on their way in. I admit I haven’t read this article yet, but even already it’s clear that DOGE is a threat to the USA on yet another profound level. Even if this government sabotage is an intentional attempt to discredit public services and national government (aligning with the ideological strategy of Elon, Thiel and the rest of their circle) I think they’re ripping down their own foundation in the process.

    CISA, NSA and the rest are probably screaming right now.

      Yeah. Not sure what’s up with the laughing emoji in the title. Funneling all of our private data to an AI company is also super illegal and dangerous.

      The yelling about TikTok going to give your data to China is pretty silly now that DOGE is probably exposing far more personal data to all the adversaries along with hacker data brokers who sell it onto scammers and advertisers.
