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.

    Humanity? Lol, speak for urself, US-American. In civilized countries we use ID cards for identification. Says a lot about the US that y’all abuse Social Security Numbers as identification lol. Imagine claiming to be the greatest country on earth but then not even having ID cards lol.

          because conspiracy theory nonsense and the government is inherently evil, or something.

          apparently ‘freedom’ is living in the backwoods your entire life as an undocumented citizen or something.

          and medical care and social security are ‘evil’.
