Day 77 — February 16, 2025
As part of its continued piracy of Americans’ private data, DOGE’s next target is the IRS. DOGE employees—whoever the hell they are—sought access to the IRS’s Integrated Data Retrieval System, which houses the data of millions of Americans. The Washington Post reported that IRS officials are considering a memorandum of understanding that would allow access to some systems.
To make matters worse, reports are emerging that DOGE’s own systems are poorly constructed and easily subject to hacking: “Cybersecurity specialists reviewing the website noted that it appeared hastily constructed, containing multiple vulnerabilities, coding errors, and exposed details in its source code.”
Several hackers hacked its website, taunting DOGE with public messages: “‘THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN - roro’ and ‘This is a joke of a .gov site.’
According to The New Republic: “Feels like it was completely slapped together,” one of the sources said. “Tons of errors and details leaked in the page source code.”
The Huffington Post reports that the DOGE website exposed information—both the size and staff—of a highly secretive federal government agency known as the National Reconnaissaince Office, which “designs, builds and maintains U.S. intelligence satellites.” The agency’s budgets and staffing are classified information.
