Overview

• Whistleblower Daniel Berulis alleges that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gained sweeping access to the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) systems, removing approximately 10 gigabytes of sensitive data.
• DOGE staff reportedly tampered with security protocols, disabling logging and multi-factor authentication, and left the system vulnerable to unauthorized access, including attempts from a Russian IP address using valid credentials.
• Berulis faced retaliation after filing a whistleblower complaint, including a threatening letter taped to his door with sensitive personal information and drone-captured photos of him walking his dog.
• The NLRB denies any breach occurred, asserting that DOGE was not granted access to its systems; however, Congress and oversight bodies are weighing formal investigations into the allegations.
• DOGE representatives visited the NLRB headquarters following the whistleblower report, as scrutiny intensifies over Elon Musk’s dual roles and the broader implications for federal data security and labor rights enforcement.
