Every single Democrat in the house needs to be screaming fascism ALL day in front of the news so Americans and really the world sees they are fighting for us. We must show our numbers !!! Scream constitutional crisis! Please SIGN and SHARE! We need to organize ! sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...

Damned @wired.com you’re killing it.

This is crazy but the crazier part is to come because even if Musk and teen bandits get shutdown, no one will know what they did to the systems they have access too. What was left behind? What was copied? What was corrupted? All these systems will need to be redone from scratch.

And why would I have handed over access to them?

OMG 😳 We’re all in serious trouble Some random 25-year-old can write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government. “These systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy. “

WTF! Who’s keeping our information secure and WTF do they have access to tax & social security information!!!😡😡😡😡

Just remember, Daniel Webster made the Bar at age 23

This is frightening in its illegality and its scope for criminality on a massive scale.

Any experience with COBOL?

Who’s the adult with the 20yo’s ?

2020 resume: github.com/markoelez/we...

He's a fascist idiot kid.

And yet the same day Trump states that no access has been granted So you know - 1 access has definitely been granted (Trump 100% lies) 2 credentialing not undertaken correctly (= plausible deniability for Trump) 3 illegality of access understood by Administration

This is not going to end well

Y'all are all over these fascist punks. Who knew Wired would be out front leading the Resistance? Y'all are a gift.

I was wondering if the code was COBOL. My friend writes COBOL for the Social Security Administration. The system is probably cobbled together from a number of legacy systems, so these kids would have to learn quite a bit and test it and ....

What’s next blackmail America for $$$$ or keep Trump in power. Musk had court cases coming up is no one accountable

Why do they have electricity? Internet? Food? Water?

Flashbacks of Edward Snowden. What's the difference, what he then DOES with the data? When someone bypasses Congress to make changes in our gov, disenfranchising the votes of those millions who did not vote for Trump, it is illegal & wrong. You don't get to decide via a coup because you have money.

I know you all want to be paid, and you deserve to be paid. But you shouldn't paywall articles with information like this that everyone should have access to. Leap of faith that folks will make sure you get paid.

Thanks for being real journalists and rising to the occasion while your feckless peers cower in the shadows. I’m looking at you @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com

Are these criminals US citizens?

😐Autocracy may attempt to legitimize itself through political ideology, religion, birthright or foreign hostility! Autocrats are attempting to take control of our nations elites & institutions. Enough soft talk! United Americans Stand Up! Emergency action required NOW!🇺🇸⏳

Lock them up man! TF!?

Even people trained on the codes to generate, track, & reissue payments on BFS can easily make small mistakes that create unpostable errors that can shut your IRS,SSA, etc account down for months or longer. These “low productivity jobs” require 16+months of training to begin understanding the job

Very very dangerous

How have we gotten to this

Coups are like that. Some even succeed. Perhaps ....?

Clearly there is no longer a rule of law. Hey, do whatever you like. No accountability!

magas won’t be happy when the cheques stop coming I am sorry for the sane Americans, but didn’t you see the demise of America coming. US has meddled in other countries for decades, creating dictators subjugating citizens & now it is domestic terrorists within your organizations doing the same.

This guy, Elon Musk, Donald Trump and the rest of their boy band should be in jail.

This is terrifying. And yet, nothing is stopping it.

All I can think of are the backups for all these systems. I hope these morons don't burn all the data and the backups. Side note. If all the government services are going to be outsourced who have they given the data to? Who is earmarked to take stuff over?

Dear Republicans: Do you really think your personal/financial information isn't being put in jeopardy by Musk & his pal Putin? Do you really think you won't be blackmailed - more than you apparently already are - with that information? Do your family members know you've put their finances in peril?

Does anybody think Elon ISN'T stealing it all ?

Trump -> Musk

Damn. My job wouldn't even let me create Slack channels. I hate being a woman in tech.

Thank you, Wired, for telling us what is actually going on in the Treasury Department.

No

📌

This is breathtaking.

Illegal

.. really looking for to seeing these crimmals in prison ⚡️

It's time to cut off their food supply and arrest them.

Has your reporting found that Musk buys these young men IKEA furnishings and keeps them enslaved in the wiring closet weeks on end? Those poor young suckers need to unionize!

Threats to cut off money worked in Nazi Germany too. One had to swear fealty to the Nazi party (with behavioral requirements) in order to continue to get a pension.

Congressional Democrats - This is important! It’s time to boycott all confirmation hearings until the kidnapping of our essential government agencies and databases is addressed. Deny the GOP a quorum.

Dictatorships need their engineers, their Eichmanns and their Musks.

Nope, with only a few exceptions, they are more interested in staying in business selling stuff to advertisers. @nytimes.com @cnn.com @nbcnews.com @msnbc.com @washingtonpost.com Frankly, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov have some words but... more words to a gun fight.

📌

His army of incels get to feel important

This is the thing happening right now that scares me to death. It’s all awful but this!!!

Do you think Musk wanting their names private has anything to do with their potential involvement with the election?

W. T. F. ?!?

that is deeply disturbing

🥵🤬

Our house is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

This is a coup. We need to start using that word.

I hope he enjoys the penitentiary.

Perhaps the most glaring red flag yet.

These are thieves stealing gov data. It's ok because Trump gave them permission? Trump gave the insurrectionists on Jan 6th permission too. Where are the police? If Trump went to the Dept. of Treasury himself & demanded the data access would that be legal?

W. T. F. !?!

Sure. Funnel money from the peope to Elon. That's what you need this kind of access for. It's a heist.

Isn't an engineer somebody who knows how to build things? In what sense are these boys engineers?

He has a lot of young boys?

www.msn.com/en-us/news/p... DOGE employees identified, prosecution possible: US Attorney ... Just checking so I don't accidently disclose the people.. is it this list? Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran

No one aged 18-24 is an “engineer.” More like juvenile terrorists screwing with my data illegally. Mothers, come get your children. They don’t belong tampering with my government.

All of Musks little brats are pushing hyped resumes and achievements just like Musk.

Please call your Senators today & let them know that allowing unelected & unqualified people access to our government systems; violates the public trust & American national security Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard today & an operator will connect you with your Senator's office (202) 224-3121

@unroll.skywriter.blue unroll

Scary stuff.

I can understand why, but stressing their ages makes it sound like this would all have been ok if only he’d got older, more experienced engineers in to do this.

THANK YOU for being the rare source of accurate media reporting on the actions of our government. I’ve subscribed and hope other Americans follow suit. I refuse to watch or read any of the legacy media outlets.

Every single one is guilty of treason and should be tried and punished accordingly. We executed the Rosenbergs for less.

Are these kids American citizens?

For those that don’t know the reference. In the movie. They installed malicious code to steal fractions of pennies and divert it into a private account.

😬

Part of a White House o going coup.

They're installing Backdoors for Putin.

oh just you wait til RFK gives him the keys to the data

This is Americas equivalent of the Burning of the Reichstag. Time to wake up and get the brown shirts out of there.

OMG! This is the longest thread ever! Lol

And this article is the precise reason I just subscribed to your publication. Well done, @wired.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com are you paying attention here? You used to be the publications that were first and foremost at reporting this kind of thing. Now you just bend the knee...

25. Phew. I was worried they wouldn't be able to rent a car.

It's meant to add salt to the wound hoping for more action.

#DataBreach arrest Elon

Thank you for your excellent journalism . At least we have a couple of news outlets reporting the truth unlike cnn

Congress needs to subpoena these people and ask what they are doing. Of course Rs won't

Great, important reporting, but who was this detail for? "... a federal IT worker tells WIRED in a phone call late on Monday night" That may or may not be usable to help the fascists ID the source, but it might and doesn't seem to add anything to the story for most readers.

This is what happens when you dont imprison a Traitor who refuses to leave office and attempts a coup. You get him back and you get WORSE.

Access to code usually means access to the repo and not the running system. Unless the language was interpreted, I guess. But why would they need access to the underlying system when access through some administrative interface would be easier to conduct whatever search of commands they need.

They should all be arrested

Wtf!!

From NJ

Thank you for doing the journalism the times calls for.

Joni says "Now or never" I couldn't help but write to her Swamp Scum ass to let her know she's being watched closely by #Iowa voters and she will regret this. IOWANS: Join me in saying fuck you, you coward (in a more acceptable way) Now is the time to be LOUD! #BlueIA #DOGE Text SIGN PUYOEA to 50409

WTF man! Who in America wants some snot nosed 25 y/o privileged punk with all access to your tax returns ? Who TF wants this ? Felon47 voters y’all want this? Jill Stein voters? Free free Palestine folks? Y’all want this? Dumb AF

seems bad

Old enough to be tried for treason

What could possibly go wrong?!

Hey, doesn't Musk own Starlink? And didn't Donald recently become a big fan of of bitcoin?? Probably not related.

What could possibly go wrong

Speaking of which what happens if 150,000,000 Americans refuse to pay their taxes on April 15th this year.

I wonder if these guys who are busy digging through the federal computer systems also had practice on voting machines around the elections. After all, tRump did say “Elon knows these (voting) machines inside and out.”

I'm sure handing over control of your government, personal information, and money to Twitlers Youth will make your country great again.

📌

What part of $6 Trilion per year are any of us willing to have a 25-year-old send anywhere he wants? Is his allegiance to You? The Constitution? His boss Elon Musk? His crypto accounts? #NSA #FBI @MSNBC @FoxNews

And more importantly, those who didn't turn up due to some crappy virtue signaling or worse, they bought the gooseteppers' propaganda that their vote didn't count!

This article is ALL OVER my feed today. Nice job!
