A whistleblower from the US National Labor Relations Board, Dan Berulis, has raised alarm over alleged security violations by DOGE staff. He claims they received superuser access and violated data handling protocols after arriving at the NLRB. Berulis detailed an incident where an assistant CIO facilitated this access, dismissing the normal operating procedures. He noticed critical monitoring tools being disabled and observed significant data leaving a case management system. The allegations have prompted Democratic lawmakers to call for an investigation into these potential breaches and the impact on data security at the agency.
Dan Berulis alleged that DOGE operatives were granted unrestricted access to sensitive data at the NLRB, violating standard procedures and raising serious security concerns.
Berulis highlighted that the superuser status granted to DOGE operatives compromised the integrity of the NLRB’s data management, suggesting that standard operating procedures were ignored.
He noted that alerts and monitoring tools were disabled shortly after DOGE's arrival, which is alarming and indicative of potential data exfiltration.
In his disclosure to Congress, Berulis emphasized the seriousness of not following established protocols, which not only endangers data but also affects trust in the organization.
