AGENCIES WITHHELD RECORDS NEEDED TO VERIFY DOGE DATA SAFEGUARDS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

During the Government Accountability Office (GAO)'s review of DOGE's access to sensitive data, six agencies could not or refused to provide sufficient records. The SEC and NOAA disputed the GAO's authority to conduct the investigation and refused to cooperate. The VA and SBA also did not provide records but didn't cite a reason for doing so. At the CFPB, access was granted to 19 systems, with one DOGE team member being able to view, modify, and delete information in the bureau's primary human resources system. At the Department of Education, one DOGE member received limited access to two federal student aid systems and an admin account on the department's network.
