In a shocking revelation, whistleblower Daniel Berulis, accompanied by attorney Andrew Bakaj, has alleged that a breach of US data, potentially involving Russian actors, occurred through the DOGE system and may have utilized Starlink.
Berulis, speaking through Bakaj, claimed that DOGE engineers improperly accessed MLRB databases. Furthermore, Russian IP addresses, linked to newly created user credentials, were reportedly used to access these systems. The bombshell claim is that DOGE systems were connected to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service owned by SpaceX.
Bakaj stated that the Department of Defense had supposedly ceased using Starlink due to concerns it represents a “direct pipeline” to Russia.
Berulis presented a chart purportedly showing “indications of compromise.”
The implications are severe, with Bakaj alleging that DOGE engineers potentially exposed critical infrastructure and agencies, including those overseeing the US nuclear stockpile within the Department of Energy, to the open internet. This, he argues, could grant foreign adversaries like Russia access to sensitive information.
Adding a sinister element, Bakaj claims his client received a threatening note accompanied by a drone photograph of him walking his dog.
Key Takeaways:
- Whistleblower alleges Russian breach of US data.
- DOGE systems and Starlink potentially involved.
