🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Not gonna lie, "Wir streichen die Geisteswissenschaften an der TU und machen sie damit wieder zur TH Charlottenburg" hatte ich nicht als Debattenbeitrag zum "Wir können doch eine Berliner Hochschule schließen" Pitch der CDU auf der Wissenschaftspolitik-Bingokarte.
