DOGE engineers visited the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for a week without disclosing their purpose. Following their visit, a whistleblower revealed that technical staff became concerned after observing increased data leaving the agency, which may include sensitive union information and ongoing legal matters. Disturbingly, the whistleblower's report indicated that shortly thereafter, login attempts from Russia were made on newly created DOGE accounts. Although IT experts noted these attempts alone are not definitive evidence of a breach, the circumstances create a worry of foreign involvement in accessing government systems, raising flags about potential security vulnerabilities.
Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure.
Four labor law experts tell NPR that the data should almost never leave the NLRB and has nothing to do with making the government more efficient.
