Federal whistleblower Daniel Berulis worked in the National Labor Relations Board's IT department before sharing news of a data data breach that was allegedly the fault of engineers affiliated with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk' Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Berulis is now apparently receiving threats at his home.
“You ... told our producer that shortly after sharing your concerns about a potential breach, that you received a threat at your home, including photographs. What did the photographs show, and was there a message?” CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked.
“The message was clear, although poorly constructed,” said Berulis in his first TV interview as a government whistleblower. “It was to stop, to stop looking, stop reporting. The pictures were of me walking my dog, from above, basically.”

The photos were not taken by satellite, Berulis said, but appeared to be taken by drone.
“What's really disturbing about all of this is that we had somebody literally either themselves or have somebody go to Dan's home and tape a threatening note, a menacing note, that included a lot of personal information,” said Berulis’ attorney Andrew Bakaj. “There was a clear reference to his whistleblowing activities ahead of our filing, and now this image basically threatening him as he's walking his dog.”
