Riley Sennott, 26, is listed as a “senior advisor” in an internal NASA directory, similar to the nebulous titles given to some DOGE staff in other agencies. His name and involvement with DOGE have not been previously reported.
Like many other DOGE workers, he deleted his LinkedIn profile and made his X account private in recent months. However, Sennott did not make the Google Calendar linked to his personal email address private.
Anyone with the address could see every appointment Sennott had on the calendar going back to 2016. On January 6, for example, the calendar included a 15-minute event titled “Riley Sennott and DOGE Recruiting.” The invite came from a Gmail address that DOGE appeared to be using for recruiting.
A calendar appointment from 2023 noted that Sennott “is currently working with a non-profit team in Ukraine to efficiently deliver aid and support evacuations.” The blurb said that Sennott studied symbolic systems and environmental studies in college, “briefly dabbled in consulting,” and has an “entrepreneurial spirit.” His calendar also showed several events related to an internship at Booz Allen Hamilton in 2021.
“The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has arrived onsite at the agency. We anticipate that they will start reviewing our contracts to find efficiencies,” the email reads, according to a copy reviewed by BI.
Yea for real. This is a honeypot, who just gives those away?
Also, imagine all the real penetration experts who have completely compromised these absolute morons.
But that’s not what a honeypot is
You’re right of course, I had a little bit of trouble searching for the right word.
I’m only half-awake, but I can’t think of what the right word would be either :)
You had a good point thought, you dont just give those away and let them know to fix it…!
The meaning of Honeypot you refer to is a metaphor. It’s not wrong to use it in other ways.
