Federal workers have filed an emergency lawsuit demanding that courts mandate that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency shuts down the server it has set up at the US Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) headquarters.

Wired reports that an attorney representing two unidentified government workers is alleging that "the server’s continued operation not only violates federal law but is potentially exposing vast quantities of government staffers’ personal information to hostile foreign adversaries through unencrypted email."

The complaint alleges that the DOGE server was installed "without OPM—the government’s human resources department—conducting a mandatory privacy impact assessment required under federal law," writes Wired.

I think it's cause those top level officials aren't in charge of the security people, the security people are receiving orders from people loyal to Trump I imagine. So they're being told by their bosses to get rid of these other high level people and to let the DOGE people do what they want.
