Summary
The DOGE team, effectively led by White House adviser Elon Musk, “may have taken data related to union organizing and labor complaints and hid its tracks,” according to whistleblower Daniel Berulis.
After gaining high-level access to sensitive National Labor Relations Board systems, DOGE engineers reportedly turned off monitoring tools, manually deleted access logs, and exfiltrated approximately 10 gigabytes of potentially sensitive information.
Cybersecurity experts characterized these actions as similar to those of “criminal or state-sponsored hackers.”
Berulis warned, “the bits of the puzzle that I can quantify are scary,” emphasizing that the incident represents “a serious, ongoing security breach” warranting further investigation.
