Breach at White House?


 

What We Know

In February 2025, a Starlink terminal was installed on the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, part of the White House complex. It was managed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Musk-linked office.

The terminal broadcast a wireless network labeled “Starlink Guest.” It allowed internet access to government laptops, personal devices, and visiting systems, without routing traffic through federal VPNs or firewalls.

By mid-March, whistleblowers reported large data transfers from devices connected to the Starlink Guest network. These were unlogged and invisible to federal cybersecurity monitors.

In April, a similar Starlink system deployed at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) triggered an even more severe alert: logs were erased, malware was detected, and login attempts from a Russian IP address using valid credentials were blocked solely due to location restrictions.

The full scale of the breach is still unknown. However, the evidence suggests that this was not an isolated incident but rather a systemic problem.

What Must Happen Now

  1. Immediate disconnection of all DOGE-installed Starlink systems on federal property.

  2. Instant cessation of all DOGE activity in every federal agency.

  3. Independent investigations into DOGE’s presence at all federal agencies.

  4. Mandatory disclosure of all DOGE deployments, network traffic, and credential provisioning.

  5. Prosecution and removals: If anyone at DOGE facilitated, concealed, or profited from unauthorized access, they must face legal and professional consequences.

  6. Permanent policy bans on third-party ISP access and personal devices within executive offices.

This is not a scandal. This is a failure of structural security and oversight. The breach may have happened. However, failing to act now would be a breach of duty.

Some might say the damage is already done. DOGE has had months inside Social Security, the IRS, and agencies across the federal system. We’ve seen what they do with Starlink: disable the logs, route around the firewalls, and expose credentials. There’s no reason to believe other agencies are any more secure.

That doesn’t mean we stop asking questions. It means we start asking harder ones, and demanding consequences, not just investigations.
