In March, a team from President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) visited the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to review agency data. Led by Elon Musk, the team's stated goal was to maximize efficiency by cutting costs. However, whistleblower disclosures revealed alarming behavior, including increased data transfer from the NLRB, which could involve sensitive information. Concerns grew when DOGE employees requested anonymity in their activities and attempted to erase logs of their actions, actions likened to those of cybercriminals, prompting fears for the security of confidential NLRB data related to unions and legal cases.
The DOGE's activities were marked by a spike in data leaving the NLRB, with evidence suggesting sensitive information on unions and legal cases was at risk.
There are serious concerns that the DOGE engineers not only requested their actions not be logged, but also attempted to cover their tracks by deleting records.
Internal communication records hint at a troubling pattern of behavior by the DOGE team, drawing comparisons to tactics used by hackers and state operatives.
Expert analysis indicates that the data accessed by DOGE should remain confidential and is unrelated to government efficiency measures.
