DOGE's Nine Worst Cybersecurity Failures Under Elon Musk

Sydney Saubestre, senior policy analyst at New America's Open Technology Institute, is quoted in a GovInfoSecurity article about DOGE's worst cybersecurity mistakes under Elon Musk's leadership.

"Whether or not Musk's departure from Washington is permanent, his leadership at DOGE triggered cybersecurity failures that weakened federal digital infrastructure."

"DOGE's missteps included using unapproved private servers, creating high-level admin accounts without logs and granting access to unvetted personnel while ignoring basic safeguards."

"DOGE's actions under Musk violate federal cybersecurity protocols and have already led to evidence of unexplained outbound data transfers and login attempts from Russian IPs."

"This data belongs to the American people, and the government has a responsibility to protect it."
