Access to the Treasury of the Musc team increases security fears, despite the ordered judgment of Judge

The ordinance of a federal judge according to which the Elon Musk team temporarily ceases to encourage themselves in the payment systems of the Treasury Department raises a much more important question: if Elon Musk qualified the Ministry of Efficiency of the government creates a major vulnerability of cyber and national security.

The activities of the cost of reducing the cost of Mr. Musk, judge Paul A. Engelmayer, said on Saturday in his order, risks “the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information” and make the Treasury systems ” vulnerable than before hacking ”.

It is a risk that cybersecurity experts have sounded in the last 10 days, because the band of young coders of Musk asked for access to the most intimate systems in the treasury. This access was finally granted by Scott Bessent, the new secretary of the confirmed treasure.

But apart from waves assurances that new arrivals at the Treasury door had appropriate clearances, there was no description of how their work would be secure – and many reasons to believe that it would facilitate Chinese intelligence services and Russians to target the treasury systems.

It was the central argument put forward by 19 attorneys general when they were looking for a temporary ban order to withdraw the workers from Musk from the treasury systems. And Judge Engelmayer approved it on Saturday, limiting access to officials of the existing treasury to one hearing next week before another federal judge.

The government argued that Mr. Musk’s team has limited himself to examining the data “in reading alone” in the systems of the Treasury Department, although the administration now has appointed to positions where they could do it Much more.
