Summary
Federal employees have filed a class action lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect a server allegedly installed illegally at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by associates of Elon Musk.
The lawsuit claims the server, connected without required privacy assessments, risks exposing government employees’ data.
The server is linked to the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal workforce.
If the motion is granted, the administration’s “deferred resignation program” could be delayed.
What makes you think anyone that would be willing to do that has physical access? I don’t have access to the server room at the office I work in, and we don’t even keep any really important data there. It’s mostly just networking equipment. Anything really sensitive is kept on cloud-based resources that are housed at an off-site facility that is only physically accessible by the company that owns and runs it.
A sledgehammer can fix most problems
I rather it be someone’s face rather than a useful server
Caving elons face in with a sledgehammer does have a certain appeal yes
