Summary

Trump’s transition team is relying on private email servers, raising security concerns among federal officials who fear potential hacking and misuse of sensitive information.

The White House has instructed agencies to limit electronic sharing and instead offer in-person briefings or reading room access for sensitive materials.

Federal employees are wary of transmitting classified or personnel data to unsecured servers, with some requiring transition officials to verify compliance with security standards.

The reliance on private emails is slowing the transfer of government materials ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

      You can look up the MX records pretty easily using Powershell (windows) or terminal (Mac and Linux) and the nslookup command.

      Or do you mean who has access to their accounts on the Microsoft side?
