NLRB whistleblower alleges DOGE may have leaked confidential labor data

The National Labor Relations Board, responsible for upholding labor laws and promoting unionization, has become the focus of Elon Musk’s DOGE controversy. Following the granting of access to internal systems at the NLRB, a whistleblower emerged with claims about potential security issues stemming from DOGE.

A source leaked information to NPR about an incident, which they initially reported. The leak revealed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) sought access to the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) internal systems to verify the NLRB was following Trump Administration policies. However, the whistleblower’s account suggests that DOGE might have extracted data from the NLRB and then attempted to hide their actions by employing concealment tactics.

The National Labor Relations Board initiated an internal probe regarding the possibility of deleting personal data following a string of troubling incidents, such as unauthorized login attempts originating from an IP address based in Russia.
