Because we're talking about how Tulsi fired a top Russian expert, I lay out how flimsy the conspiracy theory behind some of those firings (possibly including this one) is.

www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

first image, on March 19, excerpt from cyberintel brief substack

Imagine a government building containing our nation's most sensitive files.

Normally, a security guard (firewall) controls access, and each room has sophisticated locks. Now, the guard has been fired, and someone replaced the high-security locks with dollar-store versions. Even worse, they've posted the building's address online.

This is essentially what's happening with hundreds of government database servers exposed over the last three months.

In this metaphor:

The government building is a server with an IP address.

Each room is a port associated with a different database system.

And actually, someone had to go to the dollar store and uninstall the good locks to replace them with cheap ones. What am I referring to?

Azure Government Cloud, by default, has plenty of state-of-the-art security tools in place. Someone (whoever was making these changes on the inside) had to actually change the default settings to be less secure.

image 2, NPR excerpt.

"We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on U.S. government systems," said one threat intelligence researcher who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly by their employer. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation-state-sponsored hackers, reviewed the whistleblower's technical claims.

"The difference is, they were given the keys to the front door," the researcher continued. While the researcher clarified that it would be difficult to fully verify what happened without full access to the NLRB system, they said Berulis' conclusions and accompanying evidence were a cause for concern. "None of this is standard," they said.

image 3, whistleblower complaint excerpt

Included at Exhibit “A” is a sworn declaration Mr. Berulis prepared for your review. This declaration details DOGE activity within NLRB, the exfiltration of data from
NLRB systems, and – concerningly – near real-time access by users in Russia. Notably, within minutes of DOGE personnel creating user accounts in NLRB systems, on multiple occasions someone or something within Russia attempted to login using all of the valid credentials (eg. Usernames/Passwords). This, combined with verifiable data being systematically exfiltrated to unknown servers within the continental United States – and perhaps abroad – merits investigation.

Exhibit “B” are select screenshots of technical data for your review. As you are certainly aware, the practical,
legal, and national security implications of such an intrusion are vast. At bare minimum, the conduct here violates the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (“FISMA”) and guidelines set forth by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”). Moreover, this breach – at the very least – exposes Privacy Act-protected information.

Furthermore, on Monday, April 7, 2025, while my client and my team were preparing this disclosure, someone physically taped a threatening note to Mr. Berulis’ home door with photographs – taken via a drone – of him walking in his neighborhood. The threatening note made clear reference to this very disclosure he was preparing for you, as the proper oversight authority. While we do not know specifically who did this, we can only speculate that it involved someone with the ability to access NLRB systems. This “meat space” action – where a threat was physically delivered to my client’s home – is absolutely disturbing in its manner and the implications suggested therein. Accordingly, and we have been and will continue to be coordinating with appropriate law enforcement agencies.

CNN —

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, the secretary confirmed Monday.

Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved.

The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the Capital Burger restaurant and saw an unknown White male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said.

The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.
