Whistleblower claims DOGE gave Russia access to US data via Starlink

[Botany]

Good God in butter. America is fucked and Trump is working with Musk to burn America to
the ground. Election rigging unAmerican traitors are burning America to the ground on Putin’s
orders.

Btw Musk was into our elections data and we got President Krasnov. Btw part 2 a right wing group
called “true the vote” removed 5 million voters prior to the election. (My own thoughts.)

********
A whistleblower has alleged that DOGE systems linked to Elon Musk’s Starlink network were used by Russian IP addresses to access US government databases, raising fresh concerns over national security and infrastructure exposure.

Daniel Berulis, appearing on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show alongside his lawyer Andrew Bakaj, claimed that DOGE systems were compromised and used by Russian actors to breach US government databases.

According to Berulis, unauthorised access was gained using recently created user credentials tied to Russian IP addresses.

Snip

The whistleblower's claims included implications that DOGE engineers may have exposed critical infrastructure systems, including those within the US Department of Energy and agencies responsible for nuclear stockpile oversight. “It’s now open to the internet, which means foreign adversaries, like Russia, can and may have access to all of that,” Bakaj warned.

In a related claim, Bakaj said Berulis received a threatening note accompanied by a drone-captured photo of him walking his dog, raising concerns about whistleblower intimidation.

Meanwhile the DoJ, the State Department, and our intelligence agencies under Gabbard have now
all said they would no longer be looking @ foreign interference in America.

1. Yep.............

Russia has.

[Irish_Dem]

2. The minute Musk's hacker kids showed up with their laptops, we can assume Putin got it all.

[4139]

3. The Russians probably are using Starlink... as well as Cox cable. FiOS, etc.

Not exactly earth shattering news that the Russians use the Internet and Internet providers.

[Johonny]

4. Does anyone doubt Trump's administration

Would leak data to Russia? Anyone ? Anyone?

Yeah, I'm only surprised Russian agents weren't on the Signal chat...

[Botany]

5. "Yeah, I'm only surprised Russian agents weren't on the Signal chat."

They were with the American who was in the Kremlin with his phone. I don’t know if it was @ the time
of the signal chat. According to Malcom Nance if you were in the Kremlin with your cell phone the
Russians had access to all your data, contacts, and could listen to your calls or read your texts.

Btw thanks a lot to Justice Roberts, Mitch McConnell, and Merrick Garland for letting this happen.

6. Thank you Botany for keeping NLRBGate alive here at DU,

I am trying but I get few responses, maybe you will get more, hopefully.

Jerry Connolly's response to NLRBGate was pathetic. Writing a stern letter asking for 2 IG's to investigate DOGE giving government agency user names and passwords to Russia honestly made me swear and scream. How long will that take, meanwhile DOGE forges ahead.

Every Congressional Democrat should be united with this message:

DOGE needs to be shut down immediately
DOGE needs to be independently investigated (good luck with that one)
Elon Musk and his Cyber-punks need to go before the oversight committee and testify under oath.
StarLink needs investigated.

Magats have started today to control the messaging for NLRBGate. DOGE people are meeting with NLRB officials today, most likely getting their stories straight, attacking the whistleblower and basically calling him a liar.

Where are the Democratic leaders? Rachel Maddow did one segment and then dropped it the next day.

9. I'm with you. I guess it will take an actual foreign cyber attack or cyber blackmail

for people to pay attention, and sadly I think that is what Trump is hoping for. If Russia attacks/compromises our energy grid or communications network, that gives Krasnov the ammo he needs to declare a national emergency and take complete control. With almost every action he takes, our country becomes more vulnerable. It certainly seems by design.

[yellow dahlia]

23. Right! Why are they atill accessing data? They are violating court orders.

I am so sick of being apoplectic by the end of every day.

[OLDMDDEM]

7. I figured something like this would happen. Musk is nothing short of a pompous ass. He probably

has an account on Starlink that is fake and used by Russians. Money is all that matters. I told my wife that the country will be attacked thru a hacking processed by our enemies.

[LS0999]

8. Wouldn't this be considered high treason?

This is a legitimate case for Musk's denaturalization and deportation.

[OMGWTF]

10. Since Eloon is not welcome in his home country of South Africa, and Canada sure as hell doesn't want him,

I'm sure El Salvador will take him; for a price.

[brakester]

21. He tried this on Denmark

before us, but they got wise to him and kicked him out.

Do you suppose he was after Greenland's rare earth metals then, too?????????????????

11. Two words - presidential pardon.

[gab13by13]

13. It doesn't matter

Let Krasnov give Musk a pardon. Just imagine how that would look, it would be the end of the Magat party. (hopefully)

This administration isn't going to arrest Musk, but where are the Democrats calling for it? The people are ready to fight. Look at the turnout for Bernie and AOC.

It is up to us, the people, to save ourselves.

[William Seger]

14. We should never stop doing the "right thing" just because it seems futile

These people committed crimes, and they should be prosecuted. Ditto for impeaching King Dunning-Kruger.

[Native]

15. +100

[gab13by13]

12. I will donate 100 dollars

to the first Congressional Democrat who says what you just righteously posted.

Imagine what Magats would be saying if Democrats had been involved in SignalGate and NLRBGate.

[kacekwl]

28. Sadly the DOJ

is a participant in the treason.

[ffr]

16. Those of us moderating other Web sites already know. Our guards have been taken down.

Since the beginning of the year, with a huge ramp-up of attacks in March, the Russians and their Axis of Evil nation state partners are in full cyber attack mode.

I sure hope those who voted for Krasnov get fucked even harder than the rest of us, but it would appear, Russia hates us all equally. Good going republican voters. Your simplistic World views have screwed over the free world! Do us a favor. Stop voting!

17. Take a gander at this. Ars Technica really gets into the details on this breach

[Mr. Evil]

22. Unfuckingbelievable.

I wonder which one of our multitudes of alphabet law and national security agencies are going to get right on this.

[republianmushroom]

18. Whistleblower another candidate foe El Salvador.

[Dave Id]

19. Really?

Color me not surprised.

[surfered]

20. No worries. I'm sure Pam Bondi and Kash Patel will get right on this.

[Joinfortmill]

24. A lot of stuff was done with Starlink.

[Botany]

25. Such as access to States' central tabulators?

Trump, “Musk is very good with those vote counting computers.” Real quote or close to it.

[Joinfortmill]

26. Yup

[kacekwl]

27. Republicans, how long are you

going to participate in the destruction of America ? Please media ask them this question. And don't stop until they answer.
