NEW: Some senior CISA officials were informed late last week that DOGE had been granted access to agency staffers' emails and Microsoft Teams chats. The agency at large has not been informed.

This is absolutely insane. This is the ultimate cyberattack and security breach of critical US infrastructure in history by far and these people are walking around free. How in the world is this happening.
One has to assume that security of all government data is long gone - let that sink in. Nihilists are in command of the ship and are heading full steam into the iceberg… wow
Can someone just arrest these assholes? Trump can Pardon crimes in DC but not MD or VA. They’re like 19-24 year-olds and Elon Musk. Get a group of hot girls to flirt and they’ll float to a state like Pepe Le Pew. And then charge them with some obscure law that hasn’t been enforced since 1830.
Some context: Edward "Big Balls" Coristine is listed in CISA's agency directory as a senior advisor. He's been accused by a former employer of leaking information to a competitor. And we learned today that DOGE in some instances is using LLMs to sift through federal staffers' words.
What’s the source for this claim besides some computer expert stating that AI is the only way to analyze the 2 million responses? I've used a computer as well, and I can assure you that you don’t need AI to compile a list of people who failed the loyalty test by not responding to the email at all.
Perhaps the biggest actionable takeaway here is that federal workers in general should not forward emails from their work accounts to journalists, and instead take a picture with their personal phone. And fellow reporters, tell that to sources! This story is just CISA but risk is any agency.
Feds are regularly told not to forward internal emails to journalists. That should fall under "assumed known". Contractors are even warned about sharing sensitive information from .gov account to the .com account of the contracting firm.
Wonder how far back CISA keeps its Teams messages versus archive access. There’s potentially an interesting National Archive angle there too, I suppose?
While most of the things they do piss me off this one not so much I work in cybersecurity and can tell you if you think people haven't been reading your email and chat you're crazy Every MS admin has complete access to them in the admin appliance I can access about 500 different companies we support
There is NO strategy, NO plan, NO resistance. Dems are leaving it up to the PEOPLE to save democracy. This is what one Oregon voter found out at her senator's town hall.
By handing over full control of everything to the Republicans, the PEOPLE made sure that the Dems have little to no power to stop any of this so it really is up to the PEOPLE to get off their asses and stop it if you actually want it to be stopped. And shouting "Do something!" on SM doesn't count.
why are states suing departments & some cabinet members, and not any of the doge coders illegally accessing government computers? There is no such dept, so they don't have authority to have that kind of access, nor to shut down departments.
