Federal workers have filed an emergency lawsuit demanding that courts mandate that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency shuts down the server it has set up at the US Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) headquarters.
Wired reports that an attorney representing two unidentified government workers is alleging that “the server’s continued operation not only violates federal law but is potentially exposing vast quantities of government staffers’ personal information to hostile foreign adversaries through unencrypted email.”
The complaint alleges that the DOGE server was installed “without OPM—the government’s human resources department—conducting a mandatory privacy impact assessment required under federal law,” writes Wired.
He put it in without permission, remove it without permission.
Seriously this.
You know, if the server isn’t there legally, there’s nothing illegal about smashing it with a hammer.
Just do it. Reach over and unplug it. It has no reason to exist in the first place.
They should Stop begging for permission and instead beg for forgiveness when the dust settles. Every day they don’t stop this buffoon is another day when he seizes more power
Query:
Where the fuck are all these people’s guns
Like if random dudes stroll into a government facility, start installing unapproved hardware to open uo vulnerabilities…
Why has literally no one just shot them?
Like isn’t that straight up terrorist actions? I’d terrorists or hackers tried to do thus, wouldn’t they just get…
shot?
Why didn’t a single person in that enture building not just fucking shoot these people as soon as they started plugging unapproved stuff in? Shouldn’t they all be fucking dead?
It’s a federal government building, it’s insane that random people could just walk in and plug stuff in without just getting fucking shot to death
Did they walk in with guns too? What? I don’t understand, was it always just that easy to compromise the enture fucking US government infrastructure lol
Just walk in with a machine and a clipboard, plug it in and go “no no don’t shoot, I’m with DOGE”
How was the response anything less than “we have no idea who the fuck you are, leave the building or we will open fire”
Carrying firearms on federal property is illegal for regular folks. Only cops get to do that, and guess whose side they’re on?
I mean the problem is the people in charge of the people who would stop people from doing this are on board with Elon. So they’re gonna be ordered to let them do their thing and to stop the employees there from interfering. We’re running into the problem of how do you enforce the laws against government officials when all the people with power are on the side of the people breaking the laws.
I’m seeing news of top level officials being forcefully removed from the premises and resisting eviction.
So how’s that occurring with a single shot fired?
I think it’s cause those top level officials aren’t in charge of the security people, the security people are receiving orders from people loyal to Trump I imagine. So they’re being told by their bosses to get rid of these other high level people and to let the DOGE people do what they want.
Yeah, where are all the ‘good guys with a gun’ at?
Take a lesson from all the police murders: “Musk assaulted me and I feared for my life, so I had to shoot him dead. Autopsy says he was shot in the back while running away and pissing himself? No, he was doing some sort of ninja spin kick. Body camera? Must have malfunctioned.”
Musk can’t testify if he’s dead.
Because the USA is full of people who are oblivious, apathetic or chicken hawks
Excellent opportunity for an act of sabotage.
If the equipment was not installed through the proper channels, then it is alien equipment. Destroy it. Pour a cup of coffee into it.
Standard operating procedure for when federal employees (even the “special federal employees”) connect unauthorized devices to secure networks is to confiscate the device. Permanently.
You know the drill. Kill the server, extract the TPM keys (if applicable), yank the hard drives, and then nuke the rest of the server. Pass the keys and drives to forensics to check code and logs, and file the results as evidence for prosecution.
Seriously, there is no way that server met any of the DISA compliance requirements.
Would love for that to happen but with the DoJ recently telling Elon they’d be happy to prosecute anyone getting in the way of DOGE I doubt that any of that is gonna happen.
No one has an axe? Come on now…
When are those shady 3 letter orgs gonna get involved to remediate this very obvious threat to their continued operation?
Never cause Trump’s people are now running the 3 letter organizations and are happy to let all this happy, hell the DoJ has even told Elon they’re happy to prosecute anyone who gets in the way of DOGE.
Why would they? Likely they’re quite happy with their new overlord who will enable their fascism even more.
Yet he wants to fire most of them.
The movie Office Space taught us many years ago how to deal with a problematic piece of technology. I recommend the workers take note.
Shave off the money after the second decimal? That’s just crazy enough to work!
