The IT team met to discuss insider threats — namely, the #DOGE engineers…. "We had no idea what they did," he explained.…

They eventually launched a formal breach investigation, …& prepared a request for assistance from #CISA. However, those efforts were disrupted w/o an explanation, Berulis said. That was deeply troubling to Berulis….

In fact, when they looked into the spike, they found that logs that were used to monitor outbound traffic from the system were absent. Some actions taken on the network, including #data exfiltration, had no attribution—except to a "deleted account," he continued. "Nobody knows who deleted the logs or how they could have gone missing," Berulis said.

For #cybersecurity experts, that spike in #data leaving the system is a key indicator of a #breach, Berulis explained.

When Berulis asked his IT colleagues whether they knew why the data was exfiltrated or whether anyone else had been using containers to run code on the system in recent weeks, no one knew anything about it or the other unusual activities on the network….
