According to researchers, anyone who knows where to look can spray digital graffiti on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website. Two web development experts said the site doesnt seem to be hosted on government servers and that the database it pulls from can be modified by those who locate it. At the time of writing, a message reading these experts left their database open - roro is still visible on the DOGE site. DOGE chief and President Trump consigliere Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his team would be as transparent as possible, with updates on its actions shared to an X account and website. As 404 Media notes, the DOGE website was pretty much blank at the time. Since then, it's been hurriedly assembled to show a feed of posts from the entitys X account, along with details about the federal workforce. The researchers told 404 that the site appeared to be built on Cloudflare Pages instead of government servers. After looking at the sites architecture and API endpoints, one was able to locate the database containing stats on government employees. They made changes to database entries that were reflected on the DOGE website. It's not the first time that a federal website operating under the Trump administration has appeared to have been slapped together. Just this week, the waste.gov was locked after it was reported that the site displayed a dummy WordPress page, complete with placeholder text. DOGE does acknowledge that there are possible issues with its web presence. This is DOGE's effort to create a comprehensive, government-wide org chart, a footnote on the DOGE website reads. This is an enormous effort, and there are likely some errors or omissions. We will continue to strive for maximum accuracy over time. However, it doesnt exactly inspire confidence that a team tasked with making sweeping cuts to government spending and allegedly barging its way into federal systems that contain sensitive data on federal employees and citizens cant secure its own website. Perhaps gutting the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency wasn't the wisest idea.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/cybersecurity/the-doge-website-is-seemingly-so-insecure-it-can-be-edited-by-anyone-160612228.html?src=rss

The Guardian Media Group, owner of The Guardian and The Observer newspapers, is partnering with OpenAI. The deal will see reporting from The Guardian appear as a news source within ChatGPT, alongside article extracts and short summaries. In return, OpenAI will provide the Guardian Media Group with access to ChatGPT Enterprise, which the company says it will use to develop new products, features and tools. "This new partnership with OpenAI reflects the intellectual property rights and value associated with our award-winning journalism, expanding our reach and impact to new audiences and innovative platform services," said Keith Underwood, chief financial and operating officer of the Guardian Media Group. The Guardian Media Group joins a growing list of news publishers that are now working with OpenAI after an initial period of uncertainty over the company and its business model. What started as a trickle with The Associated Press in 2023 has since become a flood, with many of the English-speaking world's leading publishers inking deals with the AI startup. In some ways, The Guardian has been more proactive than others. In 2023, the newspaper publish an article detailing its approach to generative AI. A year later, it announced a partnership with ProRata, a company that built a platform that allows AI platforms to attribute search results and share revenue with content owners. Today's announcement also comes after a major coalition of publishers, including The Guardian, announced a lawsuit against Cohere, a Canadian startup they allege improperly used more than 4,000 copyrighted works to train its AI models.
