Marko Elez, a software engineer previously forced to resign over disturbing social media posts, has been reinstated with enhanced access to sensitive databases in the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies. His reinstatement aligns with a directive from President Trump to streamline government operations and reduce waste. The situation raised alarm, especially after a judge highlighted potential breaches of sensitive information from the Treasury Department. Despite concerns, Elez has yet to access specific sensitive systems, as restrictions have been placed on some of his permissions since he returned.
Marko Elez, a 25-year-old engineer with a history at DOGE, has regained access to sensitive data after resigning over controversial social media posts.
Despite concerns, Elez was reinstated with increased access to several HHS systems under Trump's directive for government efficiency, focusing on waste and fraud reduction.
The judge previously flagged DOGE's access to sensitive Treasury databases, especially after Elez shared protected info with unauthorized personnel, contravening federal law.
Although HHS revoked Elez's access to Medicare and Medicaid systems due to risk, he remains involved in crucial government projects aimed at technological modernization.
