It was absolutely a secure environment prior to DOGE laying waste to all the layers of security in place. Presumably those safeguards are now back in place post-DOGE razing.

Not unless they rebuild all of the infrastructure from scratch. Far too believable that something nefarious was left behind.

After you know someone already had root access to everything?

There's absolutely no way to guarantee that ever again.

Was it though? Haha

You sound like the guys I know who work at banks, talking about all this policy, how secure they are.

Indeed. The story should be that DOGE compromised these environments (at the direction of President), which allowed data to be exfiltrated by randos.

That would be an admission of culpability, sadly.
