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.
Sue?! JUST FUCKING DO IT jesusfuckingchrist we are way beyond the point of asking.
Just aks the server directly. Aks it right in the power cord and then aks the hard drive. Aks it over and over
I cant tell if your saying it as ‘ask’ or ‘axe’
Yes
One way is a double entendre so…
I heard the DOGE crew threatened to call the US Marshals if they weren’t given access.
Make them do it. The US Marshals should have resisted also, as DOGE is illegal.
Yo bro just unplug that shit wtf?
At least set it’s port in the switch to 10/100 half duplex.
Force PoE
I’m not advising a federal worker bring a sledgehammer to work. It might fall and break a server.
And definitely don’t accidentally spill water on it, that would be a big oopsie
It was a bit of percussive maintenance, I swear.
Fucking just pour goddamn water on it or shortcircuit the goddamn thing
Honestly, the way some servers are, a swift kick or a drop off the shelf will do the job!
Suing requires laws. And we’re in lawless territory right now.
Right? Like I’m getting raped so I’m going to politely ask the rapist to please stop or ill call the police. What the ever loving fuck.
If he really did this that shit will be hacked so fast lol that’s not going to look good
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.
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.
They probably already have offsite backups of all kinds of shit. I know it needs to be shut down anyway, but damage is done.
What are the odds it’s a backdoor into the system for a foreign power?
