It is deeply concerning that whistleblower Daniel Berulis has uncovered potential data exfiltration and security breaches by DOGE at the National Labor Relations Board. The allegations of DOGE engineers accessing sensitive case data without proper logging, disabling security controls, and a spike in outbound data traffic followed by attempted logins from a Russian IP address are extremely troubling. If true, this represents a serious violation of privacy laws and a grave risk to the government's data integrity. A full investigation must be conducted immediately to determine the extent of the data exposure, identify any vulnerabilities exploited, and take decisive action to secure the systems and information. Allowing unauthorized access to confidential records on unionization efforts, witness testimony, and corporate trade secrets undermines the NLRB's core mission and could have a chilling effect on workers' rights reporting. Potential conflicts of interest with Elon Musk's companies involved in NLRB cases are also disturbing. Stringent safeguards and oversight must be implemented to prevent any further mishandling or misuse of this highly sensitive data for any purposes, whether by foreign adversaries, competitors seeking an unfair advantage, or anyone else. The American people deserve transparency and accountability regarding the protection of their private information held by the government.
