A leak of sensitive information about the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), a US intelligence agency responsible for designing and maintaining US intelligence satellites, has sparked concerns within the intelligence community. The details were posted on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency website, DOGE, which was updated to include information about federal workforce data across agencies.
Multiple sources described the leak as significant, citing potential security risks to US citizens working in the intelligence agency. A former CIA official called it a “significant breach” that could compromise sensitive information and put agents at risk.
The incident highlights the need for secrecy around US intelligence personnel and budgets. Adversaries seek to collect information about intelligence efforts to target them. The NRO has declined to comment on the leak, which was first reported by HuffPost.
