But the most shocking allegations came from Bakaj, who not only claimed that accounts based in Russia were using newly created DOGE usernames and passwords to access sensitive data, but also directly tied the effort to Elon Musk and his Starlink concerns, which has a relationship with the Kremlin.
“There are two data points that I wanna point out that should give everybody pause,” Bakaj said. “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.”
Jiminy Fuck. These fucking traitorous clowns are just flipping all the Destroy America switches and the pithed chuds who put them there can't even spell computer.
- It's all computer.
  
  Stop all the downloadin!
- A friend earlier commented that "maybe they didn't intentionally hand over the credentials and instead the devices belonging to the DOGE doofuses were already thoroughly pwned by Russia" — basically what if it was due to incompetence?
  I consider this a possibility, but also, it's not exactly any better — it's just a different kind of awful. Either way, it's unjustifiable
- My conspiracy theory is that thaey know that meteor is going to hit the u.s. and they plan to take whatever they can and bounce to Russia.
  
  Giant Meteor for President 2032
  
  I know this is a joke, but the orbit has been narrowed down and it isn't going to hit Earth. Last I saw it had a very small chance to hit the moon though, which would be quite the event. Even that's incredibly unlikely.
  
  Climate Change. That's the meteor. That's behind the dive to annex Canada and Greenland. It's also why Peter Theil has a bunker in New Zealand.
  All because there will be areas of climate stability to go with the areas rendered uninhabitable.
  Russia is likely to be a climate winner. For a time anyway.
  The super rich will just bounce around the globe between islands of stability.
  The rest of us will die in the water wars.
Is "security breach" still the right terminology if it was a deliberate act?
- "Treason" is the correct term.
- Security was deliberately breached.
Uhm, there is another bit in this article...
And then the other thing that I wanted to flag for everybody is that right now that, I don’t want to say that this is intentional, it could very well have been a mistake, is that critical infrastructure databases and many government agencies, as we understand it, have been exposed to the open internet, which includes critical databases at the Department of Energy, which includes a lot of our nuclear regulatory agency material.
- From air gapped, no external devices in secured rooms to open to the internet... "oops"
  I'm sure no extra Russian logins were added there
  
  That's the fun part, over 20 DOGE employee credentials were used from Russian servers. You don't need extras if all your new staff are openly aiding Russia.
- Yep: https://open.substack.com/pub/cyberintel/p/once-private-government-networks
Even the DOGE team has to share their work with their bosses.
Fucking traitors.
- Musk, like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Marc Andreesson - the list of tech billionaires goes on - doesn't want a democracy. They want to replace the elites. They want a technocracy/monarchy, just like Musk's grandfather tried to implement.
  Traitors is 100% the word.
  "I no longer believe democracy and freedom are compatible" - Peter Thiel
  "If Americans want to change their government, they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia." - Curtis Yarvin
  
  Do you hear the people sing?
They have the IP addresses logging in, and the data going out, the proof is all there.
whoopsie daisy I helped the Russian again! what a series of unfortunate accidents.
- Nobody seems to mind though so I'm not even hiding it
- It's a real Lemony Snicket.
Krasnov strikes again
I was expecting truly incredible levels of stupidity and malfeasance, and yet, they’re completely blowing away my expectations every fucking day. Jesus tapdancing christ.
- satans limboing nipples!
I can't even fake my shock at this point. And of course nothing will come of this.
The fact that DOGE caused a security breach is the least shocking news I can think of.
This just in: DOGE Whistleblower dead from undiagnosed peanut allergy
- Not from an unfortunately weak window on the 4th floor?
upsetting? yes. shocking? unfortunately it is not.
String up the traitors
- Trump would just admit it and call it a locker room rape, so it's okay
  
  At this point, he wouldn't even need to call it anything or make any excuses. His followers would just suddenly no longer have a problem with pedos.
"shocking"
I hope someone gets impeached for this blunder
- Lol not a fucking chance. The people who have the power to do so, didn't want to properly put these fascist fuckers in jail when they had a chance. Now they just cower and play along.
What I truly don't understand, is why?
What's the endgame? What's the purpose? What's the benefit?
- Power. Control. Wealth.
  
  See, that still doesn't make sense. How will helping Russia steal Americans data help other Americans gain more power, control, and wealth?
  Those who desire power do not share it
  You would think they would be working against each other. Despite the ultimate goals of the two groups being similar in shape and colour. Ultimately they are polar opposites because the intent is for each group to have "power, control, and wealth" for themselves and no one else.
“Shocking” is not the right word.
I wonder how long it's going to take US citizens to realize that they're subjects of Russia.
You just know they did.
