Summary

Federal employees have filed a class action lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect a server allegedly installed illegally at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by associates of Elon Musk.

The lawsuit claims the server, connected without required privacy assessments, risks exposing government employees’ data.

The server is linked to the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal workforce.

If the motion is granted, the administration’s “deferred resignation program” could be delayed.

      It was already “hacked”, in the sense that it allowed anyone to bypass the government employees’ spam filters. All you have to do is spoof the sending address (which is laughably easy) and you can @everyone straight to 15000 federal employees’ inboxes.

      Do you think he cares if he looks good?

      We’re way past shit like that mattering. It’s a straight up fascist power grab. He’s openly saying to ignore all laws and do whatever they want.
