A federal judge has ordered Elon Musk’s employees at the Department of Government Efficiency to stop accessing sensitive personal information inside the Treasury Department after nearly 20 states pleaded with the courts to shut down the unprecedented access seized by DOGE.
Southern District of New York Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled early Saturday morning that a restraining order was necessary given “the risk that the new policy presents of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking.”
