... I hope there are qualified people still to ensure that this remains true ...

How long before xAI goes live for the US Gov? A month? Six months? Elon only has 130 days total so ...

@warren.senate.gov Stop him!!!

Just subscribed to wired. Thanks for covering the fucking news.

I am not doubting your reporting (it’s amazing!), but it will always be hard to know if they are telling the truth. I absolutely don’t believe it will be read-only access. I wouldn’t believe anyone in that administration, even if their tongue came notarized.

@warren.senate.gov @kaine.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @markwarner.bsky.social @democrats.org Get over there!!!!

Anyone who thinks these smart aleck kids who have spent their entire lives in their bedrooms learning and writing code and breaking into the local drugstore's files for fun, will stick to "read only" are delusional. They have it all, right now, everything.

I can already imagine the readonly. They download the code, implement the change and push someone inside to deploy the changes.

Whyyyy do they need read only access, that’s still insane!

WHO is "OVERSEEING" these CORRUPT Efforts by Musk & his Inept Lackeys?... W.H.O.???

Arrest. Subpoena.

This is a huge security breach across all agencies. Musk and the oligarchs will weaponize the data against us.

Why are they getting any access at all?

Way more than they should be accessing.

Great Depression 2.0.

And what’s to stop them from just taking pictures and video of the data with their phones?

Yeah I bet it’s only read access! They lied before and are most probably doing it now!

Anyone that believes that is a fool.

I am a subscriber to Wired. Ff you are not yet a subscriber DO subscribe, we need to fund good journalism. Put your money where your mouth is, you have to admit WIRED is killin it on DODGE! "as though they were a detailee assigned to us or one of our own employees" What does this mean in the story?

What about their permissions to plug in hard drives and servers? Are they copying info or just reading it?

Who has control of the back door server? And can you really believe anything these repubs say?

What could go wrong? Who needs protection from billionaires?

Does ANYONE actually believe that?

I think they're lying.

@democracydocket.com

"DOGE" is an illegal entity Putin's guys Trump & Elon are using to ROB Americans of their information, money & resources & to cripple the United States - leaving us wide open for an attack. Wake up America! Musk is raping you while you sleep!

When they get "read only" access to Medicaid and Medicare with health records this will still violate HIPAA

Now to remove code they already added and notify those whose data was already breached. Supply new SSI id. To those whose data has been breached. Charge perpetrators for illegally accessing and compromising private data.

I know. I am not one of them.

When are they going to start monitoring and reporting on fraud inside huge government contractors like SpaceX and Tesla?

Why are they getting any access? Can someone ask that question?

They should not have “read only”, they are not employed by or civil service employees. They are hackers who have no right to be in government data bases.

Do they even KNOW what they are reading???

Fucking hell. 😫

Golly gee! That makes us feel better. I mean it's not like coders/programmers could ever figure out how to hack into most sensitive and vulnerable life information or anything. Right?

Appreciate your coverage here..

And republicans claimed to be concerned about the security risks of an email server….

They need to be thrown out of buildings and stopped period.

There is an article linked above that is free to read and contains answers for ma y of your questions

Do you believe Eloni is actually hacking j to data or is he just being GIVEN access?

Was gonna say - isnt this what they said about the treasury system, where they had only "read only" to the data, but full write access to the code and other backend systems? If one is a developer, they better not have write access to the data like that just to begin with.

JFC!

Business people prefer the government not to protect consumer rights.

It’s almost as if they are burning a copy of the US. Government. The entire US government. The whole thing.

I honestly don't understand why staffers are not fighting them when the walk thru the door. They have no security clearance, oversight, or Constitutional authority to set foot in those facilities. Senators are being locked out by DOGE when they seek admission. Call the cops, create a media scene!

So young tech savvy kids that have spent all their time learning & manipulating code - couldn’t figure out a workaround to Read only access? Or how to create a backdoor to access the info?

The people who own for a living are robbing the people who work for a living.

Even that is too much.

read-only is 98% bad instead of 100% bad

DOGE is illegal. Stop it already!!

Let's not lose sight of who might be getting read-only access. What's the proof that they would have any business reading or copying any data for any purpose?

Because they can't do any damage with read-only access, right? Right?? 😂

This is Elon and Donald going directly after all government Consumer Protection. Think the oligarchs are bad now!

DOGE is not legit and these children should have absolutely no access at all. For any reason.

Find concerned bird in blue sky.

Someone needs to start redacting those fucks. Much more deserving than even healthcare insurance executives, & that's saying something. Need a legion of Mario's to enter the game.

I think i would be skeptical of"read only" given the last time....

Ya. And the neuralink chipped nerd hackers will drop malware to remove every Tesla and Starlink complaint & investigation, and send the name to their aggregation servers for later retribution

*Unauthorized thugs

can't wait for the movie ...where the twitchy, sweaty DOGE boys are about to enter the treasury and go over the plan to quickly bury the code in the treasury files to give them backdoor access that continuously copies everything to a cloud server that no one will ever detect. High 5 and scene.

They should not have been in there

Why are they even allowed to read our personal information?

Sure they will. 🤦🏻‍♂️

🤬

I have a bridge to sell....

So they still going around currying all IT infrastructure

Yea, we’ve heard this before.

So they're going in an agency, download tons of data, fuck things up and go to be next agency. They don't fix anything, they don't provide any information to anyone about anything...and republicans love it. They think he's fixing things and finding fraud. What the fuck is wrong with people?

Read only but they can write to another device

That’s what they said with the treasury and it was a lie

The virus spreads

How do we know that is all they will get (read only) these people have been lying all along and they are getting too much access to private information
