Agency data shared by DOGE online sparks concern among intelligence community

Source: ABC News

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has sparked concerns within the intelligence community after it posted information about an agency that oversees U.S. intelligence satellites to its newly launched government website.

The DOGE website, updated earlier this week to include information about the federal workforce across agencies, contained details about the headcount and budget for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), an intelligence agency responsible for designing and maintaining U.S. intelligence satellites, according to a review by ABC News. Multiple intelligence community sources told ABC News that this likely represents a significant breach.

John Cohen, an ABC News contributor and former acting undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at the Department of Homeland Security, said that anytime any details about U.S. citizens working for one of the intel agencies is released, it puts their safety in jeopardy.

A former CIA official who served on classification review boards called the incident a "significant" breach, "particularly if it involves the budget and personnel of the NRO," adding that "it could be even more significant if it involves declassifying sensitive information under executive authority."

The people "concerned" about Hillary's emails are pretty quiet about this. Hmm...

Russia thanks MAGAts for the classified intel. Good job "patriots".

Wouldn't at least just a few 10-1 percenters be concerned about their data getting fumbled into the Internets?
