Elon Musks goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of dataall of it undetectedusing a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House, according to a new report.
Starlink is a satellite Wi-Fi service owned and operated by Musks SpaceX. The DOGE goons installed it in mid-March with the sign-off of Donald Trumps administration, but against concerns raised by security officials, according to The Washington Post.
The officials in charge of protecting the White Houses communications were not informed of the installation ahead of time, insiders told the Post.
At the time, DOGE said installing Starlink was intended to address connection dead zones on the White House compound.
However, the insiders suggested that the move was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of datawith names and time stampsand secure it from spies.
Starlink doesnt require anything. It allows you to transmit data without any kind of record or tracking, one insider told the Post. White House IT systems had very strong controls on network access. You had to be on a full-tunnel VPN at all times. If you are not on the VPN, White House-issued devices cant connect to the outside.

(39,591 posts)I understand he gets a healthy cut of all the Russian oligarchs enterprises he licensed to operate, especially the overseas ventures.
Irish_Dem
(79,889 posts)Yes he gets a big cut of the Russian oligarch wealth as well.
And Putin also runs lucrative sex/drug trafficking rings.
So he has plenty of money for his brutal world domination game.
The Russian people are mostly poor.
Outside of Moscow they do not have indoor plumbing.
When the Russian soldiers looted Ukrainian goods, they loved the washing machines
and took them back home. They didn't realize you need indoor plumbing to make
a washing machine work.
