Elon Musk's efforts to access data systems of the federal government through his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency have alarmed IT professionals. Experts describe Musk's actions as unprecedented and wandering out of control, causing a deep sense of fear over potential dangers. They stress that despite possible presidential support, this campaign poses serious risks to critical systems responsible for vital national operations. Concerns grow over Musk's access to sensitive data across various federal agencies, with one contractor labeling it the largest IT security breach publicly known in history.
Even if the president of the United States supports these efforts by DOGE, experts consider Musk's campaign to be a reckless and dangerous breach of complex systems.
This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country's history-at least that's publicly known.
You can't un-ring this bell. Once these DOGE guys have access to these data systems, they can ostensibly do with it what they want.
Federal IT systems facilitate operations as varied as sending payments from the Treasury Department and making sure that airplanes stay in the air.
