Might be the first data you secure though.

In what way is this "securing" the data?

> a top DOGE employee, 25 year old former SpaceX employee Marko Elez, has not only read but write access to BFS servers

> One senior IT source can see Mark retrieving “close to a thousand rows of data” but they can’t see the content because the system is “top secret” even to them. No source I have has knowledge of what DOGE is doing with the data they are retrieving

Every report on this shows the data has been made much LESS secure now.

I was referring to how you'd conduct an audit. I don't mean adding extra security, I mean taking backups so they can't be tampered during the audit.

[Naklin]

That’s the same thing though.

You think the treasury doesn’t have a metric ton of procedures, and laws, on data management, integrity, access, backup and retention?

Breaking these protocols by giving unfettered write access to this data to ridiculously inexperienced and ignorant goons exponentially increases the risk of data tampering and corruption…

It makes any kind of audit LESS likely to be accurate.

But they’re very obviously not doing any kind of credible audit. As mentioned, that’s literally impossible and nonsensical to do this way.

Untrained "auditors" will do an "audit" and blast the "results" all over X, Fox News, Newsmax, and OAN. Seems legit.
