DOGE put Social Security numbers and other data on a risky server, whistleblower alleges

 
The Department of Government Efficiency put the personal data of millions of Americans, including Social Security numbers, on a vulnerable server in June, according to a new whistleblower complaint.

The report, filed by the chief data officer for the Social Security Administration (SSA), Charles Borges, alleges that the actions of multiple DOGE staffers “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' complaint accuses SSA Chief Information Officer Aram Moghaddassi, a longtime ally of Elon Musk, of violating agency policies to “create a live copy of the country’s Social Security information in a cloud environment that circumvents oversight,” in violation of multiple federal statutes.
...
“Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American new Social Security Number at great cost,” Borges wrote in his complaint, which established escalating violations of federal law.

It's gonna suck when the bad guys have all our info. Oh wait! Maybe they do already.

Let's see, SSN, bank routing, hack a person's online account info, clean it out.

I knew D.O.G.E was a bad idea.

Instead of starting a new thread, I'll just put this here:
Given Trump's and Bondi's prior performance, do you think D.O.G.E. bros will be prosecuted?

Hackers leak 86 million AT&T customer records with 44 million social security numbers, report says
 

UPDATE: Jun. 11, 2025, 4:43 p.m. EDT AT&T has provided Mashable with an additional statement after conducting an internal investigation. "After analysis by our internal teams as well as external data consultants, we are confident this is repackaged data previously released on the dark web in March 2024. Affected customers were notified at that time. We have notified law enforcement of this latest development.” In addition, AT&T offered affected customers credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. You can read our original story below.

 
If you are one of the more than 100 million people who use AT&T, you might want to take stock of your data.
 
Hackers said they accessed and leaked millions of AT&T customers' private information after the ShinyHunters group allegedly stole the data in April 2024, according to a new report from Hack Read. The report claimed some 86 million AT&T customer records have been leaked, including full names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and social security numbers. In total, Hack Read reported that 44 million social security numbers were included in the leaked data.
 
The social security numbers and birth dates were encrypted in the original hack by the ShinyHunters group, a leak that was made possible by security flaws in the Snowflake cloud data platform, as Mashable previously reported. Now, Hack Read has reported that this sensitive data is now decrypted.

So we have a data leak from last year repackaged with a new label to make DOGE look bad? 

Sounds par for the course as they say

The whistle blower submits involuntary resignation.


 
Social Security whistleblower submits 'involuntary resignation,' citing 'intolerable' work conditions

The Social Security Administration official who alleged in a whistleblower complaint that the Department of Government Efficiency had put the personal data of millions of Americans on a vulnerable server said in an email Friday that he's submitting his "involuntary resignation" because of actions the agency has taken against him.
Charles Borges, who'd been the SSA's chief data officer, said in an email to colleagues — which was obtained by NBC News from a person who received it — that he had experienced retaliation since his whistleblower complaint became public.
