Now that we're talking about doge, could anyone from us tell me if doge.gov/join has a cloud flare chaptcha when interacting with the form from the USA? I can only visit it via VPN and I have a chaptcha before the submit button. No, I don't wanna join doge, it's for... Educational purposes
I read this article and it is alarming, but what's the DOGE connection to once-private systems showing up on the public internet? That doesn't seem to be explained outside of the correlation with the Treasury system access.
Also, the authors of this SubStack appear to be anonymous?
"Alarmingly, a Department of Energy server allowed anonymous login with write access, raising the risk of hackers uploading malicious code or installing backdoors for persistent network access."
I sincerely hope that's a honeypot
The world is laughing at us, when they're not busy booing us. Hopefully we've all learned a valuable lesson here.

Seeing as how Trump was inaugurated on Jan 20th, it's hard to come to the conclusion that this is something that DOGE is responsible for.
How do we know this is a real researcher and not a disgruntled (former) US government employee? It feels extremely politically-motivated, anyway.

DOGE didn't exist on January 8th.
This post should NOT be flagged. Plenty of substantial research in this article and it is disturbing. There is a concerted effort to silence anything that sounds like criticism.
