Federal Workers Demand Immediate Severing of DOGE Server Links Amidst Data Breach Fears
A class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of two federal employees alleges that Elon Musk’s associates illegally installed a server at OPM headquarters, violating federal law by bypassing security protocols and potentially exposing sensitive employee data. The server’s operation, allegedly used to communicate with federal employees and gather information for a workforce reduction program, lacks the required privacy impact assessment mandated by the 2002 E-Government Act. The plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect the server until a proper assessment is conducted, arguing that doing so would not significantly impact government operations. The motion highlights the potential exposure of employee information to foreign adversaries and the ongoing use of the server to facilitate a federal employee buyout program.
