Thousands of sensitive White House information, floor schemes under Biden and Trump Administrator: Report: Report

According to a report by The Washington Post, more than 11,000 federal employees had access to sensitive documents including the floor plan and seller banking information of the White House, in which due to the digital safety lapse, for many years, according to a report by the Washington Post.
Breach, which began during the administration of former President Joe Biden and also included the current administration of President Donald Trump, which included at least 15 files stored in the Google Drive folder managed by the General Services Administration (GSA).
Officials said documents included potentially sensitive materials such as the proposed blast door design for the White House visiting center and files marked as “controlled unclaimed information” (CUI).
The files were accessible to the entire GSA workforce – over 11,000 employees – and some were edited. GSA has started an internal investigation and A Cyber ​​security The report is going on.
During the tenure of former President Joe Biden, overhering began in early 2021, and continued until last week. Internal investigation and a cyber security incident report have been initiated.
“This type of mistake is a challenge in all administration,” said Professor Michael Williams, a Syrock University who studies international security. “These are not completely documents you want to share with 11,200 people.”
Although it is not clear whether the plans of the East and West Wing Floor were formally classified, experts say that detailed layouts or embedded security infrastructure documents will be normally preserved closely. “Even though not formally classified, they would be restricted for clear security reasons,” said Steven Aftergood, former security policy analyst of the Federation of American scientists.
One of the earliest violations in March 2021 was when a security survey with the East Wing Bluprint was a shared agency-wide. The West Wing was included after a similar incident, including the oval office, position room and cabinet room. These files were reportedly accessible for years.
The GSA stated that it has a protocol for detecting improper file sharing, including automatic scans and compulsory annual training. “Internal controls are not correct,” a long time the employee told the post. “But it’s not that we are allowing things to get uncontrolled.”
Nine of the 15 files were marked as CUI – a designation for sensitive but undiscovered materials – and at least ten can be seen and edited by someone within the agency. Breech consisted of not only architectural blueprint, but also courthouse layout, project manual and financial records.
During an audit of the agency’s Google Drive use, the GSA office of Inspector General exposed the lapse. The issue was marked for the IT accident response team last Tuesday, and by Thursday, file-sharing permissions were canceled. Investigators have been unable to reach the owners of the compromised files so far.
According to the WSJ, neither the White House nor the GSA has released a comment. A representative of former President Biden also refused to respond.
The incident adds to a string of security misunderstandings under both administration. During the tenure of President Trump, the authorities accidentally used individual Gmail accounts for the Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Military Plan into a group chat and for sensitive communication. In contrast, the 2023 Special Advocate Report criticized former President Biden, which was to collect the classified notebook at his residence.
Meanwhile, a separate controversy is coming out in the Pentagon. According to The New York Times, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is investigating to share allegedly classified air strike plans in a private signal group, including his wife, brother and personal lawyer according to the New York Times.
The chat included the flight program for the F/A -18 Hornet allegedly involved in American operations in Yemen. Unlike the previous leakage in March – where a journalist was accidentally added – the signal group was allegedly formed by Hegseth himself.
This is the second time Hegseth has been accused of incorrectly connecting the classified military information. The Pentagon Inspector General is now investigating both incidents. The signal group includes Hegseth’s wife Jennifer, who is the Fox News producer; His brother Phil; And his personal lawyer Tim Parlatore.
