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.

    The website posting classified info, not being secure, and hiring a 19 year old who leaked classified data at a previous job. Hmm, almost seems like Elon is actively undermining the US government and inviting various groups and countries to steal our data.

      Other countries having our data is the least of our worries. I’m ready for China to become our new overlords if that’s the only other option.

        That’s the next step. We’re seeing the sun set on the American Empire and I’m afraid it’s going to take another World War for the sun to rise on the next Empire.

          I think most Americans could use a reeducation camp. Our society didn’t collectively kill Elon after he did a Nazi salute. We need some reeducation on how to kill Nazis.
