Elon Musk’s DOGE Website Hacked

Alana Mastrangelo 14 Feb 2025

The website for Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was hacked, with tricksters exploiting a security weakness to post their own messages to the site.  One message read, “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN.”

DOGE’s website tracking Musk’s cuts to the federal government was not secure and pulls from a database that could be edited by anyone, two separate people who found the vulnerability told 404 Media.

A hacker who became privy to the vulnerability made an update to the site, making it so that doge.gov displayed a message that read, “This is a joke of a .gov site.”

“THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN,” a second message posted by a hacker to DOGE’s website read.

As Breitbart News reported, the official DOGE website was launched on Wednesday, with Musk announcing that his team is “trying to be as transparent as possible.”

“We post our actions to the the DOGE handle on X, and to the DOGE website, Musk added. “So all of our actions are maximally transparent. In fact — I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
