A whistleblower warns a mishandled cloud copy of Social Security data could put millions at lifelong risk and force SSNs to change.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/60478981

Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.

If his account is correct, the mishandling of this information could expose hundreds of millions of people to fraud and abuse for the rest of their lives.
