  • The Office of Personnel Management, carrying out Elon Musk's plan to trim the government, has sent federal workers a follow-up email about its deferred resignation offer.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) mistakenly sent an email to federal employees with a link to a suspicious website, following a similar error with a link to a Dogecoin-themed site. This second email, intended to provide information on the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), contained a link to a site that cybersecurity experts flagged as potentially harmful. In response, attorneys general from several states advised federal workers not to click on any links from OPM until the issue was resolved.
