The publication of restricted data sent members of the Defense Department “scrambling,” one inside source said.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.

The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.

Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.

    These systems are typically air-gapped so to be able to acquire it is a particularly bad fuck-up.

    That being said information from unclassed systems can become classified when put in a single place/file for easy consumption.

    Either way someone really, REALLY fucked up here.

      I wouldn’t say it’s someone as much as it’s something.

      Neither of the Felonius Fuckheads have ever faced actual consequences for their actions. The entire judicial system has fucked up by teaching them that they’re above the systems of checks and balances designed to hold them accountable and prevent them from making unilateral changes to fundamental aspects of the government operates.

      And so, Elon just casually walked in wherever he pleased, caused chaos and disruption with his cronies, and walked out leaving behind servers exfiltrating anything they could get their hands on.
