Overview

The Justice Department (DOJ) is the U.S. federal executive department responsible for enforcing federal laws, prosecuting crimes, and coordinating national security and cybercrime investigations. The provided articles, however, describe a data-exposure incident involving a company named DOGE, where a court filing alleges DOGE employees shared Social Security data, highlighting insider risk rather than an external cyberattack. This underscores the DOJ's relevance to cybersecurity through enforcement actions and illustrates the persistent risk of insider threats and PII leakage that regulators monitor closely.
