I am writing to express grave concern over recent reports detailing a significant security breach involving the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). According to a whistleblower disclosure, DOGE personnel accessed the NLRB's systems, disabled critical security protocols, and extracted sensitive data. Alarmingly, within minutes of this unauthorized access, login attempts were made from a Russian IP address using newly created DOGE credentials — suggesting a potential foreign compromise of our federal systems.
These actions not only violate established cybersecurity practices but also pose a direct threat to national security. The deliberate disabling of monitoring tools and deletion of access logs by DOGE staffers indicate an attempt to conceal their activities and undermine the integrity of our governmental institutions.
Given the severity of these allegations, I urge you to:
1. Initiate a comprehensive investigation into DOGE's unauthorized access to NLRB systems and the potential exposure of sensitive data to foreign entities.
2. Hold accountable those responsible for compromising our national security, including considering appropriate legal actions.
3. Implement stringent oversight measures to prevent future breaches and ensure the protection of our federal systems.
The American people deserve transparency and assurance that their government is safeguarded against internal and external threats. Immediate action is imperative to uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions.
