The article was taken down "due to concerns about the controversial subject matter" - luckily, it was archived and can be read here!

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints

Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

🧵 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:

US-CERT was about to be called in.
CISA’s cyber response team.
But senior officials told them to stand down — no report, no investigation.

Then came the intimidation.

While preparing this disclosure, Berulis found a drone surveillance photo of himself taped to his front door with a threatening note.

This was just a few days ago.

Cost spikes without new resources.
Azure billing jumped 8% — likely from short-lived high-cost compute used for data extraction, then deleted.

Multi-factor authentication? Disabled.
Someone downgraded Azure conditional access rules — MFA was off for mobile.
This was not approved and not logged.

The most daming claim in this statement IMO:

Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created…
Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds.
Correct usernames and passwords.

2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

They used an external library that used AWS IP pools to rotate IPs for scraping and brute force attacks.

They downloaded external GitHub tools like requests-ip-rotator and browserless — neither of which the agency uses.

They disabled the logs.
Berulis says DOGE demanded account creation with no recordkeeping.

They even ordered security controls bypassed and disabled tools like network watcher so their actions wouldn’t be logged.

DOGE demanded root access.
Not auditor access. Not admin.

They were given “tenant owner” privileges in Azure — full control over the NLRB’s cloud, above the CIO himself.
This is never supposed to happen.

Who’s the whistleblower?

Daniel Berulis — a senior DevSecOps architect at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), formerly with TS/SCI clearance.

He just told Congress the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) pulled off a covert cyber op inside a federal agency.
