Overview

• DOGE engineers accessed and removed highly sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) without proper oversight, including union details, legal case information, and corporate secrets.
• Suspicious log-in attempts from a Russian IP address were detected shortly after DOGE created unauthorized user accounts, raising concerns about potential foreign interference.
• Whistleblower Dan Berulis revealed the breach, describing the scale of the data exfiltrated as impacting potentially hundreds of millions of people.
• Berulis faced physical and digital intimidation, including a threatening letter with personal information and drone-captured photos, after reporting the misconduct.
• The NLRB IT department has launched a formal review of the breach, with calls for further investigation into DOGE's actions and their implications for national security.
