David J. Atkinson<p>Thank you to @Nonikex. This thread is the most detailed and alarming account of <a href="https://c.im/tags/covert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covert</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> breaches perpetrated by <a href="https://c.im/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> “engineers” (<a href="https://c.im/tags/hackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hackers</span></a>) that I have read. We are very fortunate that a brave internal <a href="https://c.im/tags/Whistleblower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whistleblower</span></a> at <a href="https://c.im/tags/NLRB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NLRB</span></a> made the report public even after he received personal threats.
