[quote=Anonymous]From a lawsuit filed today (class action representing all federal employees)

On 27 January, an unknown OPM employee posted a message to a “Union chat” which was later uploaded to https://Reddit.com (“Reddit Message”). This message provided much more detail about the origin and nature of the OPM “distribution and response list.” 22.According to the Reddit Message, posted by “an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years,” incoming political appointees have “sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov’t employees.” The Reddit Message further specifies, “Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk.” 23.According to her LinkedIn page, Amanda Scales works for xAI, a private corporation, of which Elon Musk is the Chief Executive Officer.
Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency. Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It’s been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they’re building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.

The lawsuit goes on to cite federal security requirements for electronic services. These goons are creating huge opportunities for hackers to access information not just about federal employees but records such as VA medical records, you name it. [/quote]
