I’m Outraged that Elon Musk and his tech bros have Illegally gained access to the USA Treasury system that contain My Social Security number and my Bank Accounts!!! This is Outrageous and Unacceptable and I have called my Representative and told her I would like Donald Trump to be impeached for this and many other illegal power grabs. The Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.who approved this breach and access of sensitive information should also be immediately impeached!
I wish someone would start framing this with words like Cybercriminals to place what they are doing in a category everyone knows is dangerous and damaging. Anyone from the media reading this. Hint
Melissa only pray you could write and analyze with the insight and precision the author has. And "Muskovites' could also refer to Moscow, capisce? It's not a cutesy appellation and she makes clear what the little bastards really are -
agree that people should not talk about killing people people are infinitely creative and ingenious about finding ways to make change happen when it really matters. Look how mobilized everyone is. and it brings people together to connect in community in a deeper way
Musk & company did not set up beds in the office so that they could work more efficiently. They did it because they knew if they left the office, they would be blocked by outraged citizens from returning. Maybe it's time to cut off food supplies.
Assuming that the proper people, i.e. not Musk's Privateers, regain control of the servers and perhaps much of the data (are there secure off-site backups?), it would seem to me to a herculean task to assess the damage and reconstitute the databases. These hoodlums are having fun wreaking havoc, and yet there is no way to round them up and charge them?
Because a coup is not physical in the quaint old days, but digital, the richest man in the world with the ability to store data on his world wide system has already accomplished a coup. He didn’t need an army, or guns but he successfully has commandeered your institutions. Tragically for you his “leader” and yours is a digital Luddite, who doesn’t or can’t pay attention to details has not only permitted this takeover but given his power to an unelected sociopath. Two sociopaths can now ruin us all. I’m not an American but I weep for us all and what your citizens have unleashed on the world. We are all trembling.
I'm sorry for this being inflicted on people all over the world. We are gleefully being destroyed by President-of-Nowhere Elon and the ventriloquist dummy Donald on his lap.
Those creeps with their black backpacks deserve to rot in prison for the rest of their natural lives. This is an invasion of our country, yes, a coup. The biggest disaster of my lifetime and that of my parents.
Let’s call the Muskovites’ access to all these government computer systems what it is: a wide-scale data breach. Private companies and government agencies facing this type of illegal intrusion from any other party would be working with the FBI and taking defensive countermeasures.
Many of us are still trying to understand exactly how these DOGE folks managed to walk right past security without being physically stopped by security personnel, and exactly how employees were coerced to share information that allowed DOGE to access the systems. Do you have any information as to what actually went down in these situations?
He’s a human cancer infecting every last one of us. Keep fighting, keep informed, keep believing in orgs like the ACLU.
My grandparents didn’t risk immigration for Thing 1 and Thing 2 to have all the freedoms. I won’t have it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As I was reading this I wondered whether or not I should pay my income taxes this year. How do we know that the money won't be directly diverted into Muskovites' accounts? or Trump's for that matter.
Yes. Now the IRS will be stripped of its workers and go back to the chaos it was under in 2020. I had some issues to clear up then and it was a nightmare trying to deal with them. I was blaming it on the pandemic and agents working from home. But when Biden hired more people and got it back up a running again I have come to believe that the chaos was due to Trump. You had to wait hours on the phone to speak with someone. I got letters back from different offices in all different states for the same problem all telling me something different. Even my tax accountants struggled with it but finally got it resolved a year later.
“Muskovites” is the right term for these young thugs mugging our government from within. As for Musk himself, like Trump he is another case in point that wealth does not equal class—and certainly doesn’t equal American patriotism. He is a leech on this country, in desperate need of a good salting to speed up his implosion.
Because the "party of law and order"--who finally *totally* abandoned that pretense on Jan. 6, 2021--is now in charge, and they aren't going to lay a hand on them.
Edit: or maybe the complete end was the unforgivable pardoning of these criminals.
It is not just the personal financial data of people living in the USA now that has been seized and it is not just US privacy laws which have been violated.
Many retired persons who worked in the USA (both US citizens and others who had visas) but who now live abroad receive social security. To avoid double payments,the US entered into treaties so that the country who received the social security payroll taxes would be responsible for paying out social security. Both EU and Canadian data privacy laws are more stringent than those of the US. Wonder if Musk can be sued outside the US for privacy violations of EU residents or Canadian residents. Musk is a Canadian, South African and American citizen. He controls business interests in the EU and Canada. Wonder if his behaviour could bring down economic sanctions?

Go in with a SWAT team and get them out! Arrest them and if they refuse, kill them.

Yes! Stop giving them cutsie names like Muskovites. They are criminal hackers and scammers.
Melissa only pray you could write and analyze with the insight and precision the author has. And "Muskovites' could also refer to Moscow, capisce? It's not a cutesy appellation and she makes clear what the little bastards really are -
I completely agree with this statement.
The SWAT teams are now controlled by Trump.
I'm not sure how wise it is to post something like your second sentence publicly.
agree that people should not talk about killing people people are infinitely creative and ingenious about finding ways to make change happen when it really matters. Look how mobilized everyone is. and it brings people together to connect in community in a deeper way
oh I see you meant the kill remark agreed. I think they should be called out for hacking govt databases and stealing funds was the point I made
oh. thanks
Doesn’t bother me…someone SHOULD kill these anarchists.
Musk & company did not set up beds in the office so that they could work more efficiently. They did it because they knew if they left the office, they would be blocked by outraged citizens from returning. Maybe it's time to cut off food supplies.
Maybe cutting off drug supplies to Musk would get a faster result ...

Edit to add "be" before the herculean task.

It's not the "creeps with their black backpacks." It's the orange felon and his handler, South African Apartheid practitioner.

Helen, did they remove key personnel who might stop them - perhaps a scare tactic for whoever might dare step in afterwards.
Who can arrest them? Why don‘t they do it? In the land of the free???,,,, and home of the brave?????

Who knows who else (including hackers and our enemies) has snuck in through the side door and hoovered up all that data too?
As I was reading this I wondered whether or not I should pay my income taxes this year. How do we know that the money won't be directly diverted into Muskovites' accounts? or Trump's for that matter.
I've been wondering the same thing...whether or not it's safe to do my taxes and submit the forms.
Yes. Now the IRS will be stripped of its workers and go back to the chaos it was under in 2020. I had some issues to clear up then and it was a nightmare trying to deal with them.

Excellent article. This definitely a cybercrime! Lock him up. NOW!
