Lawsuit accuses Trump administration of violating federal information security law

A lawsuit by EPIC and an anonymous federal employee alleges that the White House–housed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) violated FISMA and ignored NIST standards by using unauthorized devices to access federal information systems. The complaint asserts this created heightened risk of exfiltration from sensitive targets like OPM and Treasury and seeks to halt DOGE’s access and compel deletion of any obtained data. The report provides allegations but no confirmed breach details, malware analysis, or technical indicators.
