A 25-Year-Old DOGE Employee Breached Treasury Policies by Sending Unencrypted Personal Data via Email

A staff member at the Department of Government Efficiency violated Treasury policies by sharing unencrypted personal information, according to a court filing by David Ambrose, Chief Security Officer at the Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. The individual resigned in February after racist social media posts were revealed and subsequently took a position at the Social Security Administration. His actions have raised concerns among cybersecurity experts, who consider it a data breach. A coalition of U.S. Attorneys General stated that Ambrose's statements do not adequately address their security concerns, highlighting the disorganized onboarding process of the Treasury DOGE Team.
