Disturbing. DOGE logged into the NLRB's system, disabled all their cybersecurity systems and then someone from Russia tried to log in but was caught using one of the user accounts DOGE had created. They used the password for the account too like it had been given to them. Some of the article:

"But, according to the whistleblower report, the NLRB’s technical staff were shocked to see a sharp increase of data leaving the agency and DOGE employees covering their tracks. The NLRB holds sensitive information about unions, legal cases about workplace complaints, and corporate secrets, data which, according to four labor law experts who spoke to NPR, is highly sensitive and should rarely, if ever, leave the agency."……...

………………."According to Berulis, right after DOGE gained access to the NLRB, a Russia-based IP address tried to log in. While that attempt was blocked, it happened to be using one of the new DOGE accounts and had the correct name and password."…………
