#NLRB stores reams of potentially sensitive data, from confidential info about employees who want to form unions to proprietary business info.The #DOGE employees, who are led by #Trump adviser & billionaire tech CEO #ElonMusk, appeared to have their sights set on accessing the NLRB's internal systems. They've said their unit's overall mission is to review agency data for compliance with the new admin's policies & to cut costs & maximize efficiency.#law #InfoSec #privacy #NationalSecurity

But acc/to an official #whistleblower disclosure shared w/ #Congress & other federal overseers…, subsequent whistleblower interviews & records of internal comms, technical staff were alarmed about what #DOGE engineers did when granted access, particularly when staffers noticed a spike in #data LEAVING the agency. It's possible that the data included sensitive info on #unions, ongoing #legal cases & #CorporateSecrets — data that 4 #labor #law experts tell NPR should almost never leave the NLRB….

& data has nothing to do w/making the govt more efficient or cutting spending. Meanwhile, acc/to the disclosure & records of internal comms, members of the #DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system & then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools & manually deleting records of their access—evasive behavior several #cybersecurity experts compared to what #criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do.#law #Trump #Musk #InfoSec

The #whistleblower's account is corroborated by internal documentation & was reviewed by 11 technical experts across other govt agencies & the private sector. In total, NPR spoke to >30 sources across govt, private sector, #labor movement, #cybersecurity & #law enforcement who had their own concerns about how #DOGE & the #Trump admin might be handling sensitive #data, & the implications for its exposure. The following account comes from the whistleblower's ofcl disclosure & interviews w/ #NPR.

About a week after arriving, the #DOGE engineers left #NLRB & deleted their accounts….In the office, Berulis had had limited visibility into what the DOGE team was up to in real time.That's partly because, he said, NLRB isn't advanced when it comes to detecting insider threats…. "We as an agency have not evolved to account for those," he explained. "We were looking for [bad actors] outside," he said.#criminal #law #Trump #Musk #InfoSec #NationalSecurity

On its own, that wouldn't be suspicious, though it did allow the engineers to work invisibly & left no trace of its activities once it was removed.Then, Berulis started tracking sensitive #data leaving the places it's meant to live…. First, he saw a chunk of data exiting the NxGen case management system's "nucleus," inside the #NLRB system, Berulis explained. Then, he saw a large spike in outbound traffic leaving the network itself.#criminal #law #Trump #Musk #DOGE #InfoSec #NationalSecurity

From what he could see, the #data leaving, almost all text files, added up to around 10GB…. It's a sizable chunk of the total data in the #NLRB sys, though the agency itself hosts over 10TB in historical data. It's unclear which files were copied & removed or whether they were consolidated & compressed, which could mean even more data was exfiltrated. It's also possible that #DOGE ran queries looking for specific files…& took only what it was looking for….#criminal #law #Trump #Musk #InfoSec

In fact, when they looked into the spike, they found that logs that were used to monitor outbound traffic from the system were absent. Some actions taken on the network, including #data exfiltration, had no attribution—except to a "deleted account," he continued.

In part because of the stymied internal investigation & attempts to silence him, Berulis decided to come forward publicly.…despite all that, Berulis managed to uncover stranger & more troubling details about what happened while #DOGE was logged on….Unknown users gave themselves a high-level access key, what's called a SAS token, "shared access signature," to access storage accounts, before deleting it.

Someone disabled controls to prevent insecure or unauthorized mobile devices from logging on w/o the proper #security settings. There was an interface exposed to the public internet, potentially allowing malicious actors access to #NLRB's systems. Internal alerting & monitoring systems were manually turned off.

Berulis noticed 5 PowerShell downloads…, a task automation program that would allow engineers to run automated commands. There were several code libraries that got his attention—tools that appeared to be designed to automate & mask #data exfiltration. There was a tool to generate a seemingly endless number of IP addresses called "requests-ip-rotator," & a commonly used automation tool for web developers called "browserless" — both repositories starred or favorited by Wick, the #DOGE engineer….

Beluris came to that conclusion…after he saw a traffic spike in DNS requests parallel to the #data being exfiltrated, a spike 1,000 times the normal number of requests.When someone uses this technique, they set up a domain name that pings the target system w/questions or queries. But they configure the compromised server so that it answers those DNS queries by sending out packets of data, allowing the attacker to steal info that has been broken down into smaller chunks.#law #Trump #Musk

It's unclear why #DOGE would need #access to #NLRB files that contain personally identifiable #information to complete its *mission* of improving *efficiency*, outside of employment records for potential reductions in force. The agency publishes publicly available annual performance & accountability reports & budget justifications that former NLRB members told #NPR would likely be sufficient in looking for ways to cut costs.#law #NationalSecurity #InfoSec #privacy #NLRB #Trump #Musk
