Are there any details available on whether or not anything actually happened there?




Yes, good grounds for concluding that there was a large exfiltration of govt data by the doge team

Not just doge, there were pretty clear indicators they left the door open for Russia to grab all they could as well.

The same whistleblower mentioned newly-created doge credentials being used to attempt login to the NLRB system from an IP address in Primorskiy Krai, the province around Vladivostock in Russias far east. They were blocked because the system doesn't allow non-US access even with proper credentials. There are many possible explanation for that since it's just an IP address.

This is some more detail about the whisteblower's testimony from an earlier Krebs article:

Was there anything else about Russia?
