It was started by a couple Russian assets.

Considering Musk's multiple phone calls to Putin, it was started by a Russian asset.

Infiltration is an odd choice of word here, kind of like the reporter infiltrated the military chat on signal...

It is a Russian spy network?

Doge can't be infiltrated by Russia if it's already a tool of Russia.

Who knows? But imagine how fucking easy it would be for them. What used to take years of asset cultivation can now be done with a text message.

Quality journalism:

Yesterday, we reported on actors using Russian IP addresses to breach the National Labor Relations Board immediately after DOGE engineers obtained "God-tier" access. According to whistleblower Daniel Berulis the intruders used newly created DOGE credentials and techniques “consistent with sophisticated Russian intelligence operations.”

Shocking, if inexperienced, young idiots get to do whatever they want in critical systems, shits gonna hit the fan.

Any IT system DOGE touched should be considered compromised, not because of "sophisticated" state agents, but because you've had those idiots touching it.

Remember the first days of post-Musk twitter? Yeah, now imagine that with older, more brittle systems, way less experience in the staff, more AI slop, less time and way more god complex.

Also, still waiting for the day those "journalists" will learn that an IPs geolocation does not have to be the actual source...

Yeah, their names are Trump and Felon Muskrat.
