Elon Musks DOGE.gov website can apparently be edited by anyone

Need more proof that Elon Musk’s DOGE team, apparently in charge of making the U.S. government more efficient, has no idea what they’re doing?

Here goes: The DOGE.gov website, created to document the findings and changes implemented by DOGE, can apparently be edited by anyone, as the database access has been left wide open.

The first to report this was 404Media, who spoke with two unnamed security researchers confirming the security flaw — if it indeed can be called that, as it appears that there’s no “security” of any kind implemented here.

As of this writing, two pages on the DOGE.gov site have been defaced, with one saying “THESE “EXPERTS” LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN – roro” and the other “This is a joke of a .gov site.”

404Media’s sources say that the DOGE.gov site was seemingly built on a Cloudflare Pages site that’s not hosted on government servers. The examples listed above were created by one of the outlet’s sources as to illustrate how insecure the site is.

“Feels like it was completely slapped together. Tons of errors and details leaked in the page source code,” they said.

DOGE is a new initiative, started by Trump’s administration and led by Musk, tasked to reduce inefficiencies and modernize the federal government. Despite the complex and delicate nature of this task, DOGE has apparently been staffed by college grads with little to no government experience.

Just a few days ago, the newly created Waste.gov site was hidden behind a password after going live with a default WordPress template. Great going so far, dudes.
