every thing you said is false or plain exaggeration.
DOGE are not random people, they are government employees using government owned laptops to do audit on the orders of the President (DOGE is a renamed US Department of Digital Services).
Just because they analyze the data, journalists assume something nefarious going on, without the actual knowledge of actual risks:
Based on what they do, they only need read-only access to the General ledger transactions. I highly doubt they have access to modify COBOL programs on Treasury mainframes, but rather just operate off of read-only replicas/backups to read and analyze the data.
there are no risks to the Tresury system in this scenario.
