"A government whistleblower told lawmakers that DOGE's access to National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) systems went far beyond what was needed to analyze agency operations and apparently led to a data breach. NLRB employee Daniel Berulis, a DevSecOps architect, also says he received a threat when he was preparing his whistleblower disclosure.
"Mr. Berulis is coming forward today because of his concern that recent activity by members of the Department of Government Efficiency ('DOGE') have resulted in a significant cybersecurity breach that likely has and continues to expose our government to foreign intelligence and our nation's adversaries," said a letter from the group Whistleblower Aid to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence leaders and the US Office of Special Counsel.
The letter, Berulis' sworn declaration, and an exhibit with screenshots of technical data are available here. "This declaration details DOGE activity within NLRB, the exfiltration of data from NLRB systems, and—concerningly—near real-time access by users in Russia," Whistleblower Aid Chief Legal Counsel Andrew Bakaj wrote. "Notably, within minutes of DOGE personnel creating user accounts in NLRB systems, on multiple occasions someone or something within Russia attempted to login using all of the valid credentials (e.g. Usernames/Passwords). This, combined with verifiable data being systematically exfiltrated to unknown servers within the continental United States—and perhaps abroad—merits investigation."
Bakaj said they notified law enforcement about an "absolutely disturbing" threat Berulis received on April 7."

SecureDrop 2.12.1 has been released. This is an Admin Workstation-only release, which improves the reliability of the semiautomated Ubuntu Noble upgrade when using SSH-over-Tor.
Früher waren so Leute wie Julian #Assange mit #WikiLeaks, Edward #Snowden und Chelsea #Manning ein Problem wegen #whistleblowing
Inzwischen whistleblowed die US Regierung selber...
Klar kann man dieses "Upsi, da hat wohl wer eine*n Journalist*in dem super-geheimen Chat hinzugefügt." als Inkompetenz auslegen.
Mir gefällt die Interpretation des als Inkompetenz getarnten und deshalb ziemlich smarten #Whistleblowing als Akt der Sabotage aber deutlich besser.

„Bei jeder Schulung mit Polizeianwärter*innen, die wir gehalten haben, war mindestens eine Person dabei, die selbst problematische Situationen erlebt hat“, berichtet GFF-Juristin Laura Kuttler im Gespräch über unserer neuen Studie zu #Whistleblowing in der #Polizei. https://netzpolitik.org/2025/hinweisgeberschutzgesetz-wie-polizistinnen-vom-whistleblowing-abgeschreckt-werden/ @netzpolitik_feed

"Es braucht eine Fehlerkultur, in der es selbstverständlich ist, Fehlverhalten zu benennen. Gibt es diese Fehlerkultur nicht, wird die Polizei zur Gefahr für eben die Grundrechte, die sie schützen sollte", sagt Laura Kuttler, Juristin und Projektkoordinatorin bei der GFF im Gespräch über unsere neue Studie zu #Whistleblowing in der #Polizei. https://taz.de/Korpsgeist-bei-der-Polizei/!6075391/
"Wenn Polizist*innen Missstände melden, stellen sie sich gegen ihre viel zitierte Polizeifamilie. Das ist ein Schritt, den nur ganz wenige wagen. Und auch nur dann, wenn sie keine andere Möglichkeit mehr sehen", sagt Laura Kuttler, Juristin und Projektkoordinatorin im Gespräch über unsere Studie zu #Whistleblowing in der #Polizei. https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2025/03/polizei-whistleblower-berlin-gff-studie-hinweisgeberschutzgesetz.html
#Sexismus, #Rassismus und fehlendes Vertrauen in Meldestellen: Für unsere heute erschienene Studie zu #Whistleblowing in der #Polizei wurden u.a.
