The recent actions of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have triggered significant alarms over national security. A whistleblower from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Daniel Berulis, has come forth with claims that login attempts from Russian actors occurred just minutes after DOGE accounts were created. This raises serious questions about the security protocols supposedly in place.

The whistleblower’s report, which has drawn the attention of Senate leaders and the Office of Special Counsel, details not only the suspicious login attempts but also threats made against Berulis, including drone footage of him at home. According to Berulis, the ability for unauthorized users to access sensitive data could potentially expose government operations to foreign adversaries.

Quote from Berulis: “The recent activity by members of the Department of Government Efficiency… has resulted in a significant cybersecurity breach that likely has and continues to expose our government to foreign intelligence.”

The implications of these findings are enormous. The NLRB has denied granting DOGE access to its systems cited by Berulis, and has not confirmed any breach, claiming internal investigations found no evidence.

This unfolding drama is marked by complex narratives involving government oversight, high-stakes cybersecurity, and personal risk, leaving many eager to see how it will evolve. Expect further updates on this dramatic situation.
