The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”
Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.
Anonymous could do something absolutely hilarious right now
This is already top comedy. How much funnier can it get?
Is anonymous still a thing?
“An official website of the United States government”
That’s how you know it’s quality.
What? How did Big Balls let this happen?
Oh no, we should tell them! Someone get Big Balls on the horn, stat!
It’d be a shame if all the data that got scrubbed from other government sites resurfaces on the doge site
They should just start linking all the agencies musk is cutting and why they were investigating him
No, their version of “transparency” is just vague reports, distractions, and a bunch of circle jerk support
I say that the DB could use some “scrubbing” with how dirty all these entries look.
On the next episode of Elon and the Incels…
Maybe it’s intentional.
