I imagine this looks a lot like what people in the cyber security sector do after a breach. Audit all the code, scan all the servers, monitor everything for several months. It’s a ton of work and very expensive, but there are people with lots of real-world experience unhacking systems.
That data is largely worthless. Mostly because so much of it has leaked so many times over the past decade or two. That is why so many people have a special tax code or whatever.
The real “value” of having access to the treasury is not the data itself. It is the ability to change that data in a manner that directly defies congress, the budget, and everything else.
It pretty valuable even if you don’t change it. He can see what his competitors are being paid. He can correlate it with Twitter’s user data to tie political enemies to physical addresses and more.
Not that they won’t corrupt it. They will almost certainly alter it to their own ends as well.
I still cannot believe this total dumbass is considered by so many to be some kind of genius.
Besides all the obvious stuff, like trying to deliberately break America, and giving Nazi salutes (and then hearing all the gaslighting and bothsiderist bullshit from the “liberal media” on that) on top of that, I have to still see stuff about what a sooper-dooper genius this fucking gomer is. Because having money == genius.
I can’t read the article because paywall, but I assume access was blocked by some sort of court injunction. So what’ll really happen is that that stuff is how actual-patriot treasury employees will occupy their time until the ruling gets appealed to some MAGA judge and Musk waltzes right back in again.

But the data is siphoned off now. We can, nay, have to assume this.
yup. the real answer is to rotate EVERYTHING
Ahh yes. Lets just rotate every americans social security number and every organizations tax-payer id.
Easy,
SSN = SSN + 1Ah, I see someone has been to Hilbert’s Grand Hotel.
ROT13 all the things!

The US could finally become a modern country with actual national ID!
If it comes to pass, it’ll probably in the form of an arm tattoo…
nah. Only for people like me.
You know. Queer. Jewish descent. Leftist in ideology.
I wish these jokes didn’t write themselves…
Not just you. Anyone that posted anything against them.
Just rotate the bank account numbers, everyone gets someone else’s.
Worse: you don’t know which administrators have been compromised or were voluntarily complicit. It is unprecedented.
yup. we’re going to have to rotate the administrators, too
I rotated my monitor and I don’t feel any more secure and my neck hurts.
Yes, but not under this administration.
Yeah leaked data stays leaked. You can often find out what was leaked tho.
By running into it on ze dark veb?
Elon Musk is technically a job creator because so many people have to be hired just to fix his fuck ups.

Yes, you will be able to trust the system, after an independent team have ripped out the old system and built a new from the ground up.
Yep. It can only be secure after it’s crushed, now.
