Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is still reeling from last week’s cyberattack. Despite the public outcry, the cybersecurity community on Reddit is discovering additional defaced pages still available on Monday.

Storing CFI/CUI (controlled federal/unclassified information) and the spillage event. No ATO/ATC (authority to operate/connect) to even use this ‘program,’” one expert said.
