The lawsuit proposed by the two federal government employees argues that the Trump administration has set up an email distribution system for the entire federal labor that invests security concerns of workers’ personal data.
This lawsuit understands and reduces the U.S. Human Resources Management Bureau, which is in charge of the federal government, in which a new e -mail system claimed by Federal Law collects data from federal employees. We have accused you that we did not perform the necessary evaluation. 。
The new legal task overhauls how the Trump administration has reduced the protection of federal labor, including initiatives to eliminate diversity, fairness, and comprehensive programs. This is because we have started multifaceted efforts.
According to new litigation, recent federal employees have received emails from email address hr@opm.gov, claiming that they will conduct a new “distribution and corresponding list” test.
“The goal of these tests is to confirm that all government officials can send e -mails and reply,” said one of the e -mails to confirm the receipt. One of the emails is described while asking an employee to respond.
CNN contacted OPM to comment on the lawsuit.
Complaints are said to quote the concerns that an anonymous OPM employee posted to the online Forum Reddit on Monday, and how the e -mail distribution system is set.
CNN previously reported that the Trump administration was working to send a large number of federal employees by email. The White House officials told the CNN that President Donald Trump could communicate directly with government workers using a new system last week.
The federal government employees who received the test email told the CNN that the employees did not provide additional information about the intention behind this new system. One of the employees said to the CNN that e -mail did not respond to “yes” as instructed to confirm the receipt as a resistance act. 。 “A small act like one person who has not responded to the e -mail seems to be very small, but they are all together when they are collected,” he said. I said.
The federal employee filed a lawsuit has filed a lawsuit under a pseudonym. They are trying to submit a lawsuit as a group lawsuit.
They are represented by Ker McLanhanhan, an executive director of the National Security Counselor, a law firm representing the federal employees, and brought legal issues last week to the Trump administration’s government efficiency bureau.
In a statement to CNN, McClanahan pointed out that OPM has been hacked in recent years, including hacks that target a security clearance system that seems to be “very well protected.”
“Plugin a new email service for sending messages directly to all federal employees is a hacked invitation, and all employees are there. McClanahan says, “McClanahan says,” the system needs to shut down “OPM’s security guaranteed this data.”
