DOGE leaks high secret details about intelligence companies on its web site – sending spies scrambling
Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency’s latest attempt at creating change in the Washington swamp has seen classified information posted to its website.
DOGE – launched by Donald Trump and chaired by Musk to cut government waste – started a website on Wednesday that claimed to let citizens ‘trace your tax dollars through the bureaucracy.’
While the site claims to not post information from the various American intelligence agencies, that appears to have been breached.
A search by the Huffington Post shows information about the National Reconnaissance Office is readily available.
The federal agency is in charge of America’s intelligence satellites, from design to upkeep.
A Defense Intelligence Agency told Huffington Post Friday that spies are in complete flux.
‘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,’ the anonymous worker said.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House for comment.

A spokesperson for the NRO merely said: ‘We defer to the Department of Government Efficiency for comment on the release of information posted on DOGE.gov.’
NOFORN is short for ‘Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals’ which means that it cannot be spread to anyone outside the federal government without permission.
NRO is the only one of the 18 American intelligence agencies that appear to have its information released to the DOGE site so far.
One Senate aide called this ‘absolutely a problem under the current intelligence standards.’
There are debates within the intelligence sector, however, as to whether the NRO should be a matter of public record or not.
Another Senate aide claimed that the information is kept private to avoid American enemies from learning what the US’ spying priorities are.
They both agreed that it posed questions as to what Musk and his ‘nerd army’ are up to.
‘These 25-year-old programmers, I don’t think they have enough experience to know what they don’t know,’ they said.
‘Really, the question is: Where did they get this information and what are they doing with it?’
This is a developing story.
