@vix @Goalkeeper It's really easy to double check these sorts of things today, although you might want to use a non-pozzed search engine like Brave's. From Wikipedia, starting from the CISA page:

"In December 2025, Politico reported that Gottumukkala had requested to see access to a controlled access program—an act that would require taking a polygraph—in June. Gottumukkala failed the polygraph in the final weeks of July. The Department of Homeland Security began investigating the circumstances surrounding the polygraph test the following month and suspended six career staffers, telling them that the polygraph did not need to be administered.

"In January 2026, Politico reported that over the prior summer, Gottumukkala had uploaded at least 4 documents marked as "for official use only" to a public instance of ChatGPT. While the department was generally blocked from accessing ChatGPT on government networks and devices, Gottumukkala had received special access to the service not available to others at CISA. A routine audit of the prompts Gottumukkala had transmitted to the service detected the violations, and senior DHS officials handled the fallout."

Controlled Access Programs (CAPs) are for really sensitive stuff, measures taken within the Confidential/Secret/Top Secret framework to further keep it secret.

Should mention CISA became a train wreck starting with first term TDS, went far beyond its remit to join the Deep State's censorship regime. Putting pajeet in charge could be a further sign of disrespect, but why then did this guy want to get read in on information covered by a CAP??

I can see a purported need in terms of CISAs remit WRT to foreign penetration of government or other computer systems and networks, and from most accounts polygraphs are very very iffy at best, serve better as something spies think they won't pass.
