The doge[.]gov website that was spun up to track Elon Musk’s cuts to the federal government is insecure and pulls from a database that can be edited by anyone, according to two separate people who found the vulnerability and shared it with 404 Media. One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.”
Doge[.]gov was hastily deployed after Elon Musk told reporters Tuesday that his Department of Government Efficiency is “trying to be as transparent as possible. In fact, our actions—we post our actions to the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website.” At the time, DOGE was an essentially blank webpage. It was built out further Wednesday and Thursday, and now shows a mirror of the @DOGE X account posts, as well as various stats about the U.S. government’s federal workforce.
hire clowns, expect a circus.
But no one laughs.
But Doctor, I am Pagliacci
I don’t know, it might be nervous laughter, but I can’t help to chuckle seeing the shitshow from afar…
They all float.
Pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Hey at lease we can scrape the data too
Lol it’s still there. The other message is too
And theyre both still up lol
Aww it’s back to normal now
They only fixed the first page. The ‘experts’ page still eludes them. (Unless my cache isn’t clearing correctly for me)
It may not be clearing. This is what I get
I could br missing a click somewhere
It’s probably on my end.
I hope they got frustrated with those trolls
I say that the DB could use some “scrubbing” with how dirty all these entries look.
It was built by a dude that is 19 and goes by BigBalls, and has a broccoli hair cut
“An official website of the United States government”
That’s how you know it’s quality.
Anonymous could do something absolutely hilarious right now
This is already top comedy. How much funnier can it get?
Is anonymous still a thing?
They should just start linking all the agencies musk is cutting and why they were investigating him
No, their version of “transparency” is just vague reports, distractions, and a bunch of circle jerk support
On the next episode of Elon and the Incels…
What? How did Big Balls let this happen?
It’d be a shame if all the data that got scrubbed from other government sites resurfaces on the doge site
Oh no, we should tell them! Someone get Big Balls on the horn, stat!
Maybe it’s intentional.
