A staff member from DOGE obtained privileged access to a payments system managing billions in loans to U.S. farmers. This access allows viewing and altering sensitive personal records, including comprehensive financial information. High-level permissions given to DOGE violate standard access protocols at the USDA. Reports suggest that DOGE's reach has increased during recent months, despite Elon Musk's reduced presence in the White House. Insiders have raised concerns about the implications of DOGE's actions, especially regarding data integrity and privacy.
When we talk about farm loan application records, there is no more personal information anywhere than in that database. The farmer's entire financial life and the life of their kids and their family is there.
The access is a highly privileged level of permissions that the USDA employee says no other individual at the agency has, and goes against normal access protocols.
