The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent a mass verification email to civilian federal employees, leading to worries about potential legal violations by the Trump administration. The emails, described as a test of a new distribution list, drew skepticism from employees who suspected phishing attempts. Sources indicate that OPM lacked the infrastructure to send such a broad message legally, raising alarms about compliance with cybersecurity laws. A lawsuit filed claims OPM failed to conduct required assessments, further complicating this controversial action linked to high-profile allies of the administration.
The recent mass email sent by OPM has raised questions about the legality of its implementation, particularly in relation to existing procurement and cybersecurity regulations.
Critics now fear that the rapid setup of a new email system to communicate broadly with federal employees has bypassed important protocols meant to protect sensitive data.
