Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been blamed for a “significant cybersecurity breach” that may have put sensitive U.S. labor data at risk, according to multiple reports.

Daniel Berulis, an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), testified in a sworn affidavit that the DOGE team was given sweeping access to the agency’s systems. He offered evidence that DOGE exported large amounts of data from the agency’s systems, risking a breach by foreign adversaries in the process.

Berulis’ lawyer, who shared his disclosure with the Senate, claims that he was threatened with a note taped to his door that included photos of him apparently taken by a drone.

This and Kilmar Abrego Garcia are the threads we pull on.

According to the whisteblower, DOGE came in and setup username and passwords on the NLRB systems. Almost immediately, somebody from Russia logged into the NLRB's systems using those DOGE accounts and began downloading tons of information via Starlink.

If that is proven to be the case, it is a definitive link between Musk and the Trump administration and Putin and grounds for treason charges.

As somebody who's data was compromised during a previous OPM breach,I have been telling folks this would happen from day 1. These guys are all clowns, probably using free accounts on Box or other filesharing sites to store sensitive data.
