DOGE

A DOGE software engineer, Kyle Schutt, had his personal computer compromised by infostealer malware multiple times, according to security researcher Micah Lee. Lee found Schutt's data in four different infostealer logs, indicating repeated security breaches. However, Alon Gal, CTO of Hudson Rock, disputes this claim, asserting that Schutt was not actually infected by malware. This incident raises concerns about the security hygiene of US government employees, particularly in light of recent scrutiny following Mike Waltz's Signal fiasco.
