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.
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?
