Dog is just heating

It is April, and the United States suffers from a trade war -related trade and a constitutional crisis in immigration. It is a lot. Enough to make you forget the so -called Elon Musk Ministry of Governmental efficiency for a while. You don’t have to.

To clarify what is clear: Dog is still present, as it gets rid of the foundations of government infrastructure. Soon less, perhaps, the DOGE project has recently entered a new stage. the Execution of federal workers The contracts will continue, as there was anything that remains to execute. But from here onwards, it is all about Data.

Few if any entities in the world have a lot of sensitive data like the United States. From the beginning, Dog wanted As far as it can hold, and through a series of resignation, the shootings, and the court cases have mostly reached.

In many cases, it is still not clear exactly what DOGE engineers have done or intended to do with this data. Despite the protests of Elon Musk, on the contrary, Dog is as Mysterious as Vantablack. But the latest reports of WIRED and elsewhere begin to fill the image: for Doge, the data is a tool. It is also a weapon.

Start with the internal revenue service, as Doge Associats put the best and brightest professional engineers at the agency In a room with the people of Balnter For a few days last week. Their mission, as mentioned previously, It was for the “Mega Application Programming interface” This would facilitate the display of the disintegrated data from all over the Tax Authority in one place.

In isolation, it may not look worrying. But in theory, the application programming interface for all the tax department data would allow any agency – or any external party with correct permissions, in this regard – access to the most personal and valuable data, which the US government keeps from its citizens. Dog’s mission is not ambiguous in acquiring focus. More than that, since we know that the Tax Authority is already sharing its data in unprecedented ways: the agency deal recently Fell With the Ministry of Internal Security, it provides sensitive information about uncomfortable immigrants.

It is black companies, which puts taxpayer data in the Crusade service to President Donald Trump.

It also extends beyond the Tax Authority. Washington Post I mentioned This week, DOGE representatives in all government agencies – from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to the Social Security Administration – puts data that is usually destroyed in the service of identifying immigrants that are not documented. At the Ministry of Labor, as WIRED mentioned on Friday, Dog managed to access sensitive data About immigrants and farmers.

This is just the data that remains within the government itself. this week NPR mentioned It is alleged that one of the amounts of the amount in the National Labor Relations Council that the employees noticed that the nails in the data that leaves the agency after Dog managed to reach its systems, with unknown destinations. Inverted personnel also claim that DOGE agents take steps to “cover their paths”, stop or evade monitoring tools that keep the tabs on those who do what is inside computer systems. (NLRB NPR spokesman denied that Duj was able to reach the agency’s systems.)
