"A whistleblower says that a former senior DOGE official now at the Social Security Administration copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private server. That server is accessible by other former DOGE employees at the SSA and is lacking adequate security, potentially putting an enormous amount of private information at risk to being revealed and possibly used by identity thieves.

In a written complaint filed through the nonprofit Government Accountability Project, Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, claims that senior Trump appointees at the SSA who were recently part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team made the copy in a way that "constitute violations of laws, rules and regulations, abuse of authority, gross mismanagement, and creation of a substantial and specific threat to public health and safety."

"Borges says that career cybersecurity officials within the SSA described the decision to copy the data as "very high risk" and even discussed the possibility of having to re-issue Social Security numbers to millions of Americans in the event the cloud server was breached."

"According to Andrea Meza, an attorney with the Government Accountability Project who represents Borges, the cloud environment appeared to be set up for DOGE-affiliated Social Security staffers but that it "lacks independent security, monitoring and oversight." She said Borges "has serious concerns about the vulnerability it causes for nearly every American's data."

I've had my data breached several times but this takes the cake...

"In an email statement to NPR, the Social Security Administration said that its data remained secure. "The data referenced in the complaint is stored in a long-standing environment used by SSA and walled off from the internet," the statement read in part. "We are not aware of any compromise to this environment and remain dedicated to protecting sensitive personal data."

It's not hackers I'm worried about anymore though.

It will be decades before we find the last DOGE effort that ****ed us.

I've been writing this likelihood since Day 1: DOGE. They've likely got a backdoor into everything they touched...personal data, govt files, national security info, etc.

Are you ready for identity theft and blackmail scams?
Are you cool when it's revealed that government sanctioned individuals sold SS numbers to criminal organizations and they ended up on the dark web?

I wouldn't doubt it.
 
And selling the info to the highest bidder for personal gain.

IMO mostly for DOGE/Edolf to use as leverage against TACO. And yes, that includes the threat of doing exactly what you wrote.

If that is true, DOGE members may start disappearing.

The enemy was always within this nation. It's the folly of the American system. Americans, ...., I don't feel bad for what you are about to get. DOGE is going to use those SSNs to put into a supercomputer, so the supercomputer will label your 'worth' to Musk and Thiel. So, then, when the moment comes. Boom! You will be on a list to be culled. I assume a lot of you spooks don't fear that because you're special, but f u.

So...you foresee all DOGE employees being assassinated? :rolleyes:

I see the CIA dealing with them. It's not constitutional, but that have never stopped them before.

I see them all going on trial, including Musk, once dumpletits is gone.

That's quite a fantasy, almost sci-fi.

It sounds off, but once the orange rapist is gone, those who were in his orbit will be held accountable.

TACO will be gone but by no means the prevalence of the GOP or his toxic legacy. Again, you live in a fantasy world...but if that's what helps you get thru this...believe what you have to.

It's like what they're doing with gerrymandering and voting laws doesnt even register with you. Not to mention bypassing Congress, undermining the courts left and right...and setting THAT successful precedent.
 
Good thing Trump won't sell those to China or anything.

Well seeing as how DOGE passed login credentials straight to the Kremlin, I would imagine the cat is pretty far out of the bag here already.
 
I’m sure they’ve done some illegal things. Wonder if we’ll ever know. They like to talk about the untrackable money printing accounts they found.
 
Everyone saw this coming 5,000,000 miles away.

Wait, that doesn't make sense. Accounts are what track money, and if the accounts can't be tracked then how were they found?
