【All Out with AJ Raval (2025)】

Need more proof that Elon Musk's DOGE team,All Out with AJ Raval (2025) apparently in charge of making the U.S. government more efficient, has no idea what they're doing?

Here goes: The DOGE.gov website, created to document the findings and changes implemented by DOGE, can apparently be edited by anyone, as the database access has been left wide open.

The first to report this was 404Media, who spoke with two unnamed security researchers confirming the security flaw — if it indeed can be called that, as it appears that there's no "security" of any kind implemented here.

As of this writing, two pages on the DOGE.gov site have been defaced, with one saying "THESE "EXPERTS" LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN - roro" and the other "This is a joke of a .gov site."

404Media's sources say that the DOGE.gov site was seemingly built on a Cloudflare Pages site that's not hosted on government servers. The examples listed above were created by one of the outlet's sources as to illustrate how insecure the site is.

"Feels like it was completely slapped together. Tons of errors and details leaked in the page source code," they said.
