A DOGE staffer broke Treasury policy by emailing unencrypted personal data

This is the same staffer J.D. Vance and Elon musk campaigned to rehire after his extremely racist comments were revealed and he subsequently quit. A few of the things he said: "I just want a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask," "Normalize Indian hate," "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity," and “I would not mind at all if Gaza and Israel were both wiped off the face of the Earth.”

He's back now, with read/write access:

The staffer, a former employee at Elon Musk's X and SpaceX companies named Marko Elez, had been tasked with combing through the Treasury's payments system, but resigned in early February over racist social media posts that were linked to him. DOGE has since rehired him to work at the Social Security Administration.

19 state attorneys general sued the Treasury Department in February over DOGE's access. Since then, the department has claimed that Elez was "mistakenly" given read and write access. DOGE's access to its systems has been limited by a court order that the government is trying to have modified, Bloomberg writes.
