Overview

• In February, DOGE staff installed a Starlink terminal on the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building without notifying White House communications teams.
• The ‘Starlink Guest’ WiFi network appeared on official devices without requiring usernames or logging, raising alarms that data could leave secure systems untracked.
• Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said agents were aware of the project and did not view it as a security breach.
• Whistleblowers indicate that Starlink installations also took place at the National Labor Relations Board and General Services Administration sites.
• The House Oversight Committee has opened a formal inquiry into the use of unmonitored Starlink connections across federal agencies over national security concerns.
