So no background checks on Musks 19-25 yr old hackers they were just given access to the OPM computer systems that covers a great deal more than background checks, unbelievable.

They are grabbing us all by the private data and God knows what they intend to do with it. Remember what he said on Access Hollywood: “When you’re rich, they let you do it.”

centristsisyphus.bsky.social•25 days ago

Pretty sure “Make unapproved changes and cover your tracks” violates some laws. Ahhh Laws…remember those?

daicing1636.bsky.social•25 days ago

Totally illegal, surely. This is hacking, data theft, espionage. Who is not stopping this? I mean, who exactly is not stopping this?

All the members of the Doge team are adults who still suck their thumbs

A total illegal outrage!

canadianroots.bsky.social•25 days ago

Everyone in govt. is “alarmed”, “concerned”, “outraged” & “angry”! Yet They have yet to exert their positions of power and stop this internal attack on every govt. agency! Where’s the house, Senate, AG & DOJ?? An unelected civilian in an unapproved “agency” is firing people & forcing retirement!

The Koch brothers and others who donate to the Heritage Foundation are responsible for this madness.

Whomever it is determined to have authorized this admin access needs to be immediately detained by whatever law enforcement agency that hasn't been compromised so America can begin to rebuild and hold those choosing lawless means accountable

noligarchy.org•25 days ago

Please start calling it "admin access" not administrative access. Anyone who has ever touched a computer before will understand what "admin access" means.

frankb01.bsky.social•25 days ago

WTF. Isn't there someone that can pull the plug on these systems? I know it will be chaos, but they may be installing code that will give people back door access or something worse. Maybe they are giving access to people that want to destroy our democracy. They better work fast.

That unauthorized access to a government information system is called hacking. They should be prosecuted for it, unless Trump has already pardoned them.

drylandgardener.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is terrifying. It is just a matter of time until a foreign adversary strikes.

I don’t believe any of the “assurances” from Musk or Trump.

Bill, Elon Musk & 6 hackers have accessed virtually all US government systems. They have all Americans social security numbers and personal information. This is the largest breach of US systems in history. They are highly susceptible to being targeted by Russian and Chinese agents. That's the story.

midwestjeff.bsky.social•25 days ago

One of the first items Elon's boys will do, system architecture, security, vulnerabilities, and create back doors so that they and hack in/access US data systems FOREVER. When this all comes crashing down, Elon's boys get bored or find a girl friend, US will have to re-create all of our systems.

prisuniversal.bsky.social•25 days ago

No nuance from me today.
Holy shit.

cruse.bsky.social•25 days ago

I can't get admin privilege to add a printer to my corporate laptop.

steelstrong.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh. Now, security officials are alarmed! Where were they Friday?

mrlingonberry.bsky.social•25 days ago

Too bad I cancelled my subscription to WAPO. Some say elections have consequences. In this small act, they do. I switched over my subscription to the Bulwark.

chuckwfinley.bsky.social•25 days ago

Things like ISO27001 exist for a reason. These people are destroying all faith in these systems.

hunjun.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump will pardon them all, so Musk/crew don't really give a damn if it all goes to hell.

Irreparable harm has already been done!

mndba.bsky.social•25 days ago

Where are the House and Senate Dems? Why aren’t they suing the admin for their lack of authority, which they are stealing from Congress, to unilaterally dissolve agencies and make new ones just by renaming them. Not to mention the data theft. Are they waiting for something? I don’t understand.

ihatethistown.bsky.social•25 days ago

Has it occurred to anyone that Musk's little techo-incels could be putting logic bombs in the coding of the govt computers so Elon can blackmail U.S.

petigrusghost.bsky.social•25 days ago

Nah, I'm all in for this. By the time these mindless dicks get in and make a few "tweaks" the system it will be fucked big time. Then, the teen ninjas will be running for their lives from lynch mobs.

ravenna321.bsky.social•25 days ago

If this is so illegal why don't people stop them at the door? Demand to see proper paperwork and no, a note from Daddy Trump won't cut it. Take it to the courts, maybe the last bastion of democracy.

lfeatfan.bsky.social•25 days ago

And the beat goes on. Apparently Musk will have access to computer systems in every department in the government with no oversight. They're accomplishing what any of our so called enemies have been unable to do, and with the blessing of the Trump administration

techunitedukraine.bsky.social•25 days ago

A bad omen Mr Kristol. In the IT world, these kind of dudes are referred to as "script kiddies", wannabe hackers that can't code.

"A script kiddie, skript kiddie, skiddie, kiddie, or skid is an unskilled individual who uses scripts or programs developed by others"

The criminal investigation forensic analysis to find what these people are doing is going to be difficult and long
