Efani<p>🚨 Whistleblower: Sensitive labor data may have been exfiltrated — and logs wiped to cover it up.</p><p>A whistleblower from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has come forward with alarming allegations: a White House-backed “efficiency” team, known as DOGE, may have accessed and removed confidential labor data — then attempted to hide their tracks.</p><p>What happened:</p><p>- DOGE staff allegedly demanded “tenant-owner” level access to internal systems<br>- Monitoring logs were disabled, audit trails erased, MFA turned off<br>- Engineers used virtual containers, automation tools, and DNS tunneling<br>- Around 10 GB of sensitive data was tracked leaving the agency — mostly untraceable<br>- One DOGE engineer’s GitHub listed a project called “NxGenBdoorExtract” — potentially tied to the agency’s case management system</p><p>Why it matters:</p><p>- The NLRB handles unionization efforts, whistleblower complaints, and unfair labor practice cases<br>- Exfiltrated data could expose witnesses, legal strategies, or proprietary business info<br>- Attempts to log in using DOGE credentials were traced to a Russian IP, raising national security concerns<br>- Internal cybersecurity safeguards were reportedly bypassed or disabled</p><p>Despite agency denials, the whistleblower's claims are backed by forensic data, internal records, and technical analysis by former FBI and federal cyber experts.</p><p>🔐 At Efani, we’ve always said: the most dangerous access isn’t external — it’s internal.<br>This story underscores why insider threat detection, least-privilege access, and unbroken logging are non-negotiable.</p><p>This isn’t just about one agency.
