DOGE Website Hacked, Messages Reveal Major Cybersecurity Risks

Hackers infiltrated the Department of Government Efficiency’s website, defacing at least two pages after its launch this week. Critics hacked and defaced two pages of the newly launched DOGE website, leaving messages mocking its security. The messages were visible until Friday morning but are now inaccessible through traditional navigation. According to 404 Media, the hacked pages were pulling data from an unsecured database accessible by outsiders. Experts also noted that the DOGE page does not appear to be hosted on government servers. The website is still under development and features placeholders.
