Bruce Schneier testified at a hearing yesterday titled "The Federal Government in the Age of Artificial Intelligence"

"You all need to assume that our adversaries have copies of *all the data* DOGE has exfiltrated and have established access into *all the networks* that DOGE has removed security controls from.

And your data can be used against you..."
