From the editor:  I watched a video today of President Trump being approached by a couple aides with Executive Orders to sign, the first being an order to change back to plastic straws from paper straws.  While one aide tried to explain the order to the President, the other aide was laughing his ass off.

I'm not sure the President totally understood what was going on, but he's familiar with the routine and wrote his signature out with a Sharpie.  

OK, we went from one old guy to another as President, but we still have tech guru, Elon Musk and his two youthful assistants, helping President Trump "Make America Great Again," don't we?

Well, an online report on 404 Media on Valentines Day revealed that Musk may not be as technologically savvy as many assumed.

Sources told 404 Media that the DOGE website has been easily accessed by people who've put on joke posts on the site.

Also, you may remember Musk's claim that 150 year olds were receiving Social Security checks.  What Musk didn't know is that the U.S. Treasury and other governmental departments use 1875 as an error code for when the year is not know.

It's also been reported that the DOGE website contains NOFORN, that is, government information that is NOT to be disseminated to foreign governments.  Well, it's too late now!  

Anyway, here's a quote from the 404 Media report:

           

"Two different web development experts who asked to remain anonymous because they were probing a federal website told 404 Media that doge.gov is seemingly built on a Cloudflare Pages site that is not currently hosted on government servers. The database it is pulling from can be and has been written to by third parties, and will show up on the live website. 

Both sources told 404 Media that they noticed Doge.gov is pulling from a Cloudflare Pages website, where the code that runs it is actually deployed.

One of the sources told 404 Media that they were able to push updates to a database of government employment information after studying the website’s architecture and finding the database’s API endpoints.

This person showed me two database entries they were able to push to the website, which are live on doge.gov as I write this (archived here and here):

“Feels like it was completely slapped together,” they added. “Tons of errors and details leaked in the page source code.”

Both sources said that the way the site is set up suggests that it is not running on government servers. 

“Basically, doge.gov has its codebase, probably through GitHub or something,” the other developer who noticed the insecurity said. “They’re deploying the website on Cloudflare Pages from their codebase, and doge.gov is a custom domain that their pages.dev URL is set to. So rather than having a physical server or even something like Amazon Web Services, they’re deploying using Cloudflare Pages which supports custom domains.”

On Wednesday, we reported that waste.gov, another website created to track government waste, was sitting live with a placeholder Wordpress default template page and sample text. After our article was published, waste.gov was put behind a password wall. It has been widely reported that DOGE has secured administrator access to the codebases at various government agencies, including the Department of Treasury.

DOGE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Elon Musk’s team at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it.

DOGE, which President Donald Trump created to purportedly root out waste in the federal government, launched its website on Wednesday night with a feature allowing users to “trace your tax dollars through the bureaucracy.” People can navigate through all federal agencies and offices for details about their head counts, budgets and average ages of employees.

The website states in tiny print at the bottom that its database excludes information from U.S. intelligence agencies.

But an easy search shows that DOGE’s database provides details on the National Reconnaissance Office, the federal agency that designs, builds and maintains U.S. intelligence satellites. Not only are NRO’s budgets and head counts classified, but the prospect of Musk’s tech team meddling in sensitive personnel information is setting off alarms for some in the intelligence community.

“DOGE just posted secret NOFORN info on their website about [intelligence community] headcount, so currently people are scrambling to check if their info has been accessed,” said one Defense Intelligence Agency employee, who requested anonymity to avoid retaliation from senior leaders."
