@cybersecurity Musk’s DOGE Minions Refuse to Reveal Their Names When Grilling Civil Servants

https://www.thedailybeast.com/musks-doge-minions-refuse-to-reveal-their-names-when-grilling-civil-servants/

Important note from the article relevant to cybersecurity:

> Several government workers who have been interviewed by Musk’s team about their work say the billionaire’s representatives declined to give their surnames and refused to answer any questions themselves, according to the New York Times.

The above combine with the recent threat by the DoJ to prosecute members of the government who don't fully comply with DOGE's actions makes the whole government at risk for social engineering.

@politics Mystery OPM server that aided buyout offers prompts House Democrat probe

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5125573-opm-server-installation-controversy/

AI Summary (Testing out):

> House Oversight Democrats are demanding answers about a "server of unknown nature and origin" installed at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that was used for sending buyout offers to federal employees. They are also questioning how OPM was able to assemble a list of employees, which appears to be done from cobbling together existing email lists and datasets. Democrats argue that this process could have violated laws dictating how the agency must plan for using databases with personally identifiable information. The letter also mentions a suit under the E-Government Act of 2002 and raises concerns about the security of federal workers. OPM did not immediately respond to request for comment.

@usa Mexican president reveals U.S. concession Trump failed to mention as tariffs paused

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo issued a "read-out" of her call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday — but her list of what the two leaders agreed to is different from his in one major respect: guns.

Washington Post staff writer Meryl Kornfield pointed out on X that in Sheinbaum's list of things the U.S. had committed to do is stop the flow of guns into Mexico.
