Doge Staff Member Violates Treasury Policy by Sending Unencrypted Personal Data via Email

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