Credentials have been leaked across 51 data breach sites.
The U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was infected with information-stealing malware.
A software engineer named Kyle Schutt was compromised and had his login credentials displayed across several data leak websites, according to Ars Technica, which included numerous account usernames and passwords.
These were exposed in infostealer logs at least four times over the past two years, while Schutt's credentials - associated with a Gmail account - have been leaked across 51 data breach sites.
Such a development was noted by DOGE critics to be in line with the agency's other security failings, including the creation of an editable website and the implementation of broad access policies to the federal payroll system.
