"The findings are among the first reports the Government Accountability Office has released about DOGE's work, and GAO is working on more audits focused on DOGE access to government systems."
"GAO found that Treasury handed over access to view, copy and print data from the Bureau of Fiscal Service's three payment systems to an unnamed DOGE associate, who could also see the systems' source code."
"DOGE associates said in court testimony earlier this year that pushing for high-level access to government systems was 'operating procedure' for the group."
The Government Accountability Office reported that the Treasury Department allowed a DOGE associate access to government payment systems without adhering to security controls. This access has been controversial since the Trump administration, with DOGE associates claiming high-level access was standard procedure. A Treasury official was removed for denying access to a DOGE employee. The GAO found that the DOGE associate could view and copy sensitive data but had not completed necessary security training or signed IT security policies.
