Part 3/8:
In a motion for sanctions against OPM, the plaintiffs allege that OPM misrepresented its ability to delete or control access to email information from contractors and non-executive branch employees during a recent court presentation. Specifically, they argue that while OPM claimed to maintain strict control over which employees received emails, they inadvertently included the plaintiffs in communications sent after Musk's intervention.
The legal document, prepared by attorney Kelly B. McLanahan, paints a picture of miscommunication and serious concerns about data privacy. Interestingly, OPM's response suggests that it enacted filters to limit unauthorized email access and deployed a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), raising questions about the necessity and thoroughness of these measures.
