It’s all so speculative.
I was contacted by a reporter asking about the possible security implications of the Doge stuff.
All I could think of was the false/misleading claims about DNS traffic on Trumps server back in 2016.
I said something like, “if the humans in charge grant access to another human, a secure system would grant the new human access.”
They didn’t use my quote.

- pyuser583 2y agoSorry I don’t know about this. How can you know what permissions a web app has? I’m a little flustered by all this talk of “read-access” and “write-access” in reference to DOGE. Reading and writing what? If these transactions systems are well designed, everything is written. They should be using special “write-once, read-many” media ensure everything is immutably recorded. Even if it’s just a conventional SQL database and not some kind of transaction ledger, you can recreate the state of the DB by rerunning all SQL commands, which should be recorded. What does “write” mean exactly here?
