A whistleblower has alleged that DOGE systems linked to Elon Musk’s Starlink network were used by Russian IP addresses to access US government databases, raising fresh concerns over national security and infrastructure exposure.

Daniel Berulis, appearing on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show alongside his lawyer Andrew Bakaj, claimed that DOGE systems were compromised and used by Russian actors to breach US government databases.
According to Berulis, unauthorised access was gained using recently created user credentials tied to Russian IP addresses.
The allegations extend previous revelations made by Berulis regarding DOGE engineers allegedly accessing Mission Launch Readiness Board (MLRB) databases without proper authorisation. “These were indicators of compromise,” Berulis said, referencing a chart he shared during the segment.
Bakaj asserted that DOGE infrastructure was “connected to Starlink,” suggesting a potential conduit to foreign networks. He further claimed that the US Department of Defense had discontinued its use of Starlink due to concerns that the system could serve as a “direct pipeline” to Russia.
The whistleblower's claims included implications that DOGE engineers may have exposed critical infrastructure systems, including those within the US Department of Energy and agencies responsible for nuclear stockpile oversight. “It’s now open to the internet, which means foreign adversaries, like Russia, can and may have access to all of that,” Bakaj warned.
In a related claim, Bakaj said Berulis received a threatening note accompanied by a drone-captured photo of him walking his dog, raising concerns about whistleblower intimidation.
The US government has not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of reporting.
The full interview with Rachel Maddow, Berulis, and Bakaj is available on MSNBC’s official platforms.
Commie lie.

“Unknown”, huh? I guess some aho doesn’t want to get sued. Whistles aren’t the only thing this scumbag is blowing.
They are doubling down on the “Russia” card.
omg.
This is how the Democrats fight, remember in the 1st Trump administration we have Alexander Vindman who came forward making all kinds of wild accusations.
This “whistleblower” is potentially the Alexander Vindman of the 2nd Trump Administration, combined with the guy deported to El Salvador and you have the groundwork being laid to impeach Trump if the Democrats take over Congress in 2026 midterms.
This is an interesting new take.
As someone pointed out in a meme, Trump was impeached for wanting to investigate the crimes that Hunter Biden was later convicted of, and that his father pardoned him for.
Is he LYING???
An allegation with no evidence is called a lie.
Is a 30-year computer software engineer this is b*******
What would “DOGE Infrastructure” be? Could we see some CIA Infrastructure?
Does anybody bother to question how this guy knows this information?
Seems to me you’d need to be pretty far up in the system admin structure to be able to access the sort of information he’s talking about.
As a 30 year IT professional, I agree. If you understand what Starlink satellites actually do, you’d understand the absolute absurdity of this claim.
Let me guess, through a connection in Alfa bank?
CIA? Gucifer 3?
