The U.S. Treasury Department found itself in the center of a high-profile lawsuit after unions filed a lawsuit alleging that the department illegally provided the DOGE project, backed by Elon Musk, with access to a confidential payment system.

According to the lawsuit, the Ministry transferred data containing the personal information of millions of citizens without proper security measures. The plaintiffs claim that information such as social security numbers, bank details, and contact information was accessed.

In turn, the accused DOGE project is positioned as part of Musk's initiatives to integrate digital payments, but this court case raises questions about data protection and transparency of government agencies' work with cryptocurrency assets. Experts warn that if the allegations are confirmed, this could set a precedent for stricter control over the processing of confidential information.

The US Treasury has not yet commented on the situation, and the trial will continue in the coming weeks. This case has already caused a wide response among lawmakers and human rights activists who insist on strict compliance with personal data protection standards.
