Whistleblower Exposes DOGE's Unauthorized Access to NLRB Data, Triggering Major Security Concerns

Sensitive labor data was accessed and exfiltrated by DOGE engineers, prompting investigations into cybersecurity breaches and whistleblower intimidation.

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.
