"Corcos has discussed plans for DOGE to build “one new API to rule them all,” making IRS data more easily accessible for cloud platforms, sources say. APIs, or application programming interfaces, enable different applications to exchange data, and could be used to move IRS data into the cloud. The cloud platform could become the “read center of all IRS systems,” a source with direct knowledge tells WIRED, meaning anyone with access could view and possibly manipulate all IRS data in one place."

Next week, DOGE and IRS leadership are expected to host dozens of engineers in DC so they can begin “ripping up the old systems” and building the API

HOST. as in bring in a bunch of randos!!!

Corcos and DOGE indicated to IRS employees that they intended to first apply the API to the agency’s mainframes and then move on to every other internal system. Initiating a plan like this would likely touch all data within the IRS, including taxpayer names, addresses, social security numbers, as well as tax return and employment data. Currently, the IRS runs on dozens of disparate systems housed in on-premises data centers and in the cloud that are purposefully compartmentalized. Accessing these systems requires special permissions and workers are typically only granted access on a need-to-know basis.

With Lebryk gone, Bessent signed off on access to the payments system for the DOGE team detailed to Treasury by Friday evening.

Monday Jan 27, 2025 Monday ordered a sweeping freeze on trillions of dollars in federal spending.

At the time, Lebryk was the acting Treasury Secretary.

Tues Jan 28, 2025 Trump’s pick to lead Treasury, Scott Bessent, was sworn in Tuesday Jan 28.

OMB rescinded Monday's order a few days later after an uproar that’s still being litigated in court. Update?

Fri Jan 31 Lebryk’s departure

Why did you make it? We created the BRUCE Cardputer to offer a powerful but portable alternative to bulky pentesting setups. Inspired by tools like the Flipper Zero, we wanted something slimmer, faster, and more customizable—perfect for red teamers, students, and security professionals on the move.

What makes it special? Unlike traditional development boards, the BRUCE Cardputer features a built-in display, capacitive touch buttons, and pre-loaded pentesting utilities. It's ready to use out of the box, supports custom scripting, and delivers a wide range of wireless attack capabilities—all in a card-sized form factor.

It really did work, yay!

It worked after I ran this script in PowerShell as an administrator:

tasklist | findstr wsl

taskkill /IM wslservice.exe /F

$wslConfigPath = "$env:USERPROFILE.wslconfig"

$content = @"

[wsl2]

networkingMode=None

"@

Set-Content -Path $wslConfigPath -Value $content -Encoding UTF8

Write-Host "`n✅created .wslconfig : $wslConfigPath"

Write-Host "📦 content:"
