Daniel Berulis, a whistleblower, alleges Russian-linked access to US data via DOGE systems routed through Starlink.
\n new york
\nA whistleblower has alleged that DOGE systems linked to Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink network were used by Russian IP addresses to access US government databases, raising fresh concerns over national security and infrastructure exposure.
\nDaniel Berulis, appearing on MSNBC\u2019s The Rachel Maddow Show alongside his lawyer Andrew Bakaj, claimed that DOGE systems were compromised and used by Russian actors to breach US government databases.
\nAccording to Berulis, unauthorised access was gained using recently created user credentials tied to Russian IP addresses.
\nThe allegations extend previous revelations made by Berulis regarding DOGE engineers allegedly accessing Mission Launch Readiness Board (MLRB) databases without proper authorisation. \u201cThese were indicators of compromise,\u201d Berulis said, referencing a chart he shared during the segment.
\nBakaj asserted that DOGE infrastructure was \u201cconnected to Starlink,\u201d suggesting a potential conduit to foreign networks. He further claimed that the US Department of Defense had discontinued its use of Starlink due to concerns that the system could serve as a \u201cdirect pipeline\u201d to Russia.
\nThe whistleblower\u2019s claims included implications that DOGE engineers may have exposed critical infrastructure systems, including those within the US Department of Energy and agencies responsible for nuclear stockpile oversight. \u201cIt\u2019s now open to the internet, which means foreign adversaries, like Russia, can and may have access to all of that,\u201d Bakaj warned.
\nIn a related claim, Bakaj said Berulis received a threatening note accompanied by a drone-captured photo of him walking his dog, raising concerns about whistleblower intimidation.
\nThe US government has not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of reporting.
\nThe full interview with Rachel Maddow, Berulis, and Bakaj is available on MSNBC\u2019s official platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
