At the time of writing, if you go to this URL at the (incredibly unserious) DOGE.GOV site…
https://doge.gov/workforce?orgId=7cd300eb-cf3f-47f5-90f1-9e66a8bc8d07
…you’ll see this:
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.”
Not only do the DOGEbags lack forensic accountants, it seems that they’re short on people with even the most basic cybersecurity chops.
