The ongoing lawsuit against the US Treasury Department reveals a breach of policy by staffer Marko Elez, who sent sensitive information without encryption. Elez had previously resigned after racist posts surfaced but was rehired by the Social Security Administration. The Treasury claims that he mistakenly received access and assessed the document's risk as low. However, the state attorneys general involved in the lawsuit argue this incident highlights a chaotic onboarding process for the Department of Government Efficiency.
The staffer, Marko Elez, resigned due to racist posts but was rehired at the SSA, despite breaching privacy policy by mishandling personal information.
Treasury's filing indicates Elez sent a spreadsheet to two officials, containing a name and transaction details, but risk level is assessed as low.
