Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.

The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.

Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.

    " problematic under current security standards."

    Is there an understatement of the year award.

    It’s slightly troublesome that not only were a bunch of 20ish year olds, at least one in his past was fired for posting company secrets on discord… not only are able to walk into any government agency and get classified information… but are also, notably posting them to the public. (and that’s just what we see them doing publicly… lord knows if anything is traveling through any hidden channels etc…

    That’s “problematic” in the way 9/11 was a “troubling event”.
