I am writing to express my deep concern regarding a recent data leak involving Jordan Wick, a staffer at the Department of Governmental Ethics (DOGE), who mistakenly uploaded sensitive data to a public GitHub repository. This incident raises serious questions about cybersecurity protocols and data handling within government agencies. Reports indicate that the leaked information included geospatial data and a tool capable of downloading Twitter direct messages. While some of the exposed data may have been sourced from public databases, the presence of potentially sensitive government-related information warrants immediate scrutiny. The public deserves full transparency regarding the nature and extent of this breach, as well as assurances that such incidents will not occur in the future. I urge you to initiate a formal investigation into this matter, including an assessment of how the breach occurred, the volume and sensitivity of the leaked data, and what measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents. Additionally, I request that appropriate accountability measures be enforced to uphold the integrity of government data security practices. I appreciate your attention to this urgent issue and look forward to your response on the steps that will be taken to address it.
