A US Treasury Threat Intelligence Analysis Designates DOGE Staff as ‘Insider Threat’

Members of the team of government efficiency of Elon Mask (DOGE) had access to the payment systems of the US Department of Treasury for more than a week. On Thursday, the threat intelligence team in one of the department agencies recommended that DOGE be controlled as an “insider threat”.

Sources report that members of the IT Bureau of the financial service and others received an email with a detailed description of these problems.

“Classes, the legislation of the congress and widespread protests related to the access to the Treasury and the Fiscal Service Bureau are ongoing,” the e -mail section called “Recommendations” said, WireD was considered. “If DOGE participants have any access to payment systems, we recommend that you immediately suspend this access and conduct a comprehensive review of all the actions that they could take in these systems.”

Although the officials of the Treasury and the White House have repeatedly denied this, Wired reported that Doge Technologists had the opportunity not only to read the Code of Provisional Payment Systems, but also to rewrite it. Marco Elease, one of a number of young people identified by Wired, who have practically no government experience, but is related to DOGE, was provided for reading and writing privileges for two of the most confidential systems in the US government: a payer automation manager and payment system in BFS in BFS , an agency, which, according to the treasury records, paid $ 5.45 trillion in 2024 financial year.

“In other federal agencies, there are reports indicating that DOGE members made unauthorized changes and blocked civil servants from the confidential systems to which they gained access,” some of the “recommendations” continue. “We also recommend that DOGE participants be placed under monitoring and notifying the insider threat after their access to payment systems has responded. The continuation of access to any payment systems of DOGE members, even “only read” is probably the only greatest risk of an insider threat. The Bureau of the Financial Service was faced at the same time. ”

The recommendations were part of a weekly report sent by a BFS threat intelligence team for hundreds of employees. “Insider risks of threats are something [the threat intelligence team] Usually covers, ”said the source. “But they never defined something inside the bureau as an insider threat that I know about.”

The treasury and the White House did not immediately respond to a request about the comments.
