New filings from the Trump administration in a DOGE lawsuit are jammed full of details about Musk allies Thomas Krause/Marko Elez's access to Treasury systems.
They say they erroneously gave Elez read *and* write privileges but don't think he knew it. https://t.co/iY9E51WycH

DOJ says it was a mistake.
But that person as well as Marko Elez should be interviewed by career cybersecurity professionals.
Which enemy would want to get such a file but not be willing to change it, or worse, monetize their find?
"Everything is for sale"
Maybe no one wants to know.
Nope. They stick with the spirit of the rules all the time.
These are mob lawyers now, putting their law licenses, reputations and liberty on the line for criminals.
"Butterfly Revolution" in full effect.

Do whatever it takes to destroy democracy.

There are many types of rights of modification a user could have as part of a "write" permission. That is, there are many different "write" permissions.
This is extremely disingenuous.
Fine the companies involved
Fine and remove the individuals involved,
If you believe that, I got a bridge....
(So as not to give doggies a bad name.)
I mean, what could go wrong?
his oversight there.
Broke the spirit of people there and would tell everyone to tighten their belts while he flew private jet and limo weekly to and from Florida.
Always felt he was a little too arrogant and ruled through intimidating people.
The government sanctioned grave robber
The systems and data that they touched cannot be trusted. One of the first hacking techniques is to install backdoors in case you lose access. This was most likely done.

This declaration has not yet appeared.
The two filings outline how the BFS net operates, but many relevant IT security details are not there.
Krause is hand waving a lot.
$$$ billions of potential fraud at SSA!
It appears that a Musk researcher, Big Balls found these articles all 3-4!

1. It's easy to tell if you have write access. A Windows system displays it by default on the command line. A UNIX system shows it with a simple option that is usually set.
2. When you have write access, you can delete your command history.
