US DOGE.gov Website Found Wide Open
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website has allowed hackers from hostile countries to get into the DOGE website and put up fake and unedited information.
Indeed, as DOGE recently started publishing information about its activities it was apparent that DOGE was not the only entity publishing on the site.
Two web developers, working independently, found that it is possible to push updates to the DOGE.gov domain, which supposed be an official US government website. Their messages stayed on the website for at least 12 hours and remained visible for some time.
The DOGE website was launched in January 2025 and has had a single landing page containing very little information. The website only started being populated recently with some figures apparently showing the size of the US government, and this problem comes just after Musk promised his organisation would be “maximally transparent.”
That transparency appears have gone a step too far, as the site appears to include classified material that should not be published.
In an attempt to provide greater clarity, right now it looks like the DOGE.gov website is, in fact not secure, pulling information from from an exposed database that can apparently be edited by anyone.
