Federal employees at multiple agencies received an email advising them to cut off any access to payment systems that Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” may have.

Titled “Recommendations,” the email was sent to members of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service’s IT division and others. The message was viewed and reported on Friday by Wired, which said the email came from a threat intelligence team in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Musk and his DOGE staffers have been given access to the department’s payment systems, and with it, sensitive information on tens of millions of Americans – including their Social Security numbers and bank account numbers. One of those staffers includes 19-year-old Edward Coristine, who was fired from an internship after allegedly sharing proprietary information with a competitor.

“There is ongoing litigation, congressional legislation, and widespread protests relating to DOGE’s access to Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service,” reads the email reviewed by Wired. “If DOGE members have any access to payment systems, we recommend suspending that access immediately and conducting a comprehensive review of all actions they may have taken on these systems.”

The email goes on to note reports that Musk and company have locked certain federal employees out of their computer systems, and said DOGE staffers’ access to payment systems “likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced”:

Sucks to be whoever sent that email...

It is evident that people in the Treasury Dept don't want the people finding out where all the money went.

Crap, just some of the salaries...
