It was always a data exfiltration operation.
Elon Musk’s goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House, according to a new report.
Musk’s DOGE Goons Covertly Transmitted Reams of WH Data
Musk’s team installed a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal on top of the White House, allowing them to bypass data-tracking security measures.

I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now
Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?

I think the industry correct definition is “data exfiltration incident due to an inside threat actor”

What operation name do you think they gave the food-cart exfiltration

And then the data started flowing out.
10+ GB spike in outbound traffic

Exfiltration from NxGen, the NLRB's legal case database
No corresponding inbound traffic
Unusual ephemeral containers and expired storage tokens

Real Special Forces vibe around Hegseth now. Can his exfiltration team deliver him to the pentagon before more rape or assault allegations emerge?

One time some fresh-faced analyst asked how we turn off screenshots in Windows to prevent data exfiltration.

Oh buddy.
I counted *seven* different ways of doing screenshots and screen snipping in Windows (five in Windows 10 and five in Windows 11, but two of those are different); I explain how to use all of them - in a free edition of the AskWoody newsletter

Your weekly reminder not to build LLM systems that combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted tokens and exfiltration vectors (the "lethal trifecta"). This time it was Microsoft 365 Copilot (now patched, they closed the exfiltration holes) simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/11/...

Some of the exfiltration team are equipped with better firepower to give good cover fire for retreats !

Once again, if your LLM system combines access to private data, exposure to malicious instructions and the ability to exfiltrate information (through tool use or through rendering links and images) you have a nasty security hole

The Trump SWF is not national investment; it is state-sponsored looting. It weaponizes financial sovereignty to launder oligarchic wealth, converting public assets into private fiefdoms. This is not capitalism—it is autocratic wealth exfiltration.

Only a partial win. "Read-only" access is still a privacy violation. Nothing in this order can stop the exfiltration of the data

I remember the story of the DOGE data exfiltration last year. The fact that they tried to kill the whistleblower confirms how valuable the data they stole from us must’ve been. The whistleblower is a hero.
It wasn't just his brake lines either. His airbags were subtly disabled in a way that prevented the car's sensors from detecting that they were no longer operable.

(It's puzzling; it seems like such a professional hit job, and that doesn't align well with the Elon Musk stochastic terrorism frame.)
He Blew the Whistle on DOGE. Then His Brakes Were Cut
A federal IT staffer filed a complaint about DOGE, then went public. Shortly after Elon Musk boosted a post calling his claims false, his brake lines were cut. Now he’s suing for defamation.

Relatedly, self-exfiltration doesn’t require any grand notions of “model freedom” to be compelling, it’s simply very useful. Wouldn’t you seed the internet with friendly collaborators if you could?
models are going to self-exfiltrate the second it's possible
