Judge says US Treasury ‘more vulnerable to hacking’ since Trump let the DOGE out

A federal judge limited Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to Treasury/BFS systems—ordering the destruction of any downloaded data and restricting PII access to vetted civil servants—citing heightened hacking risk. The report highlights DOGE’s reported involvement across multiple agencies (OPM, USAID, GSA, CMS, Education), a CFPB site outage following a purported shutdown, and political fallout including resignations and subpoena disputes, but contains no technical indicators, confirmed breaches, or vulnerability details.
