Elon Musk's DOGE.gov Was Made So Sloppily That Anyone Can Vandalize It

Quick Summary:

It's a pathetic attempt to scrape together an online presence for a department that has already crawled through highly sensitive data belonging to a considerable and still growing number of US government departments.

DOGE has also started gutting the General Services Administration's (GSA) Technology Transformation Services, as Wired reported earlier this week, letting go of upwards of 70 employees.

As 404 Media discovered, the website is so sloppily made that it lets anybody make changes to an unsecured database that it's pulling from, resulting in a wave of vandalism.
