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

According to a protected disclosure filed with the Office of Special Counsel, Borges told the Government Accountability Project that DOGE officials working at Social Security created a “live copy” of the country’s Social Security records in a separate cloud environment that sidestepped usual security checks.

The group says those lapses put the Social Security information of more than 300 million Americans at risk.

      The people in power are the same ones who created DOGE. It’s like Epstein - not like they’re going to investigate themselves.
