A recent whistleblower disclosure has revealed troubling details about the DOGE team's actions within the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), raising serious questions about government data security and transparency.

The whistleblower alleges that DOGE employees demanded high-level system access and actively worked to circumvent standard security protocols. When IT staff suggested tracking their activities in line with standard security procedures, they were reportedly told to stay out of the way.

Most alarming are the claims of deliberate attempts to hide digital footprints. DOGE team members reportedly asked that their activities not be logged and appeared to actively delete records of their system access. Cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR compared these actions to techniques used by criminal or state-sponsored hackers.

The disclosure also suggests potential international security implications. Shortly after DOGE accessed the NLRB systems, login attempts were detected from a Russian IP address using newly created account credentials - a detail that has raised additional red flags.

These revelations come at a time of heightened concern about government data integrity and the potential misuse of administrative access. The DOGE team, comprised of temporary government employees, seems to have operated with remarkable latitude in sensitive government systems.
