The lawsuit against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) stems from the sending of test emails to approximately 2.3 million federal employees, which allegedly violated the E-Government Act of 2002 by not conducting a required Privacy Impact Assessment. Additionally, the suit raises concerns about information security, as the data from this email campaign was reportedly accessed by a non-OPM employee associated with Elon Musk. A subsequent email from OPM invited employees to resign, intensifying scrutiny over the agency's email practices and security protocols.
