Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.
Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.
While we can hope for that, you gotta remember, the intelligence agencies are inherently pro-authoritarian, and anti-egalitarian (probably spelled wrong).
The USSR wasn’t the actual enemy for the last century. Communism was the enemy. The entire defense industry was built up to fight the idea of communism. It just helped that the USSR called themselves communists.
I don’t think for a second that any really meaningful classified information can be leaked without immediate consequences. And that is usually troop movements or locations.
