The complaint from Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the SSA, alleges that Doge staffers effectively created a live copy of the entire country’s social security data from its numerical identification system database. The information is a goldmine for bad actors, the complaint alleges, and was placed on a server without independent oversight that only Doge officials could access. “These actions 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,” the complaint states.

Reading is FUNDAMENTAL. Quote The lack of security protections violated internal agency security controls and federal privacy laws, the complaint alleges. Borges said by allowing DOGE to be administrators of the agency’s cloud, the DOGE operatives would be able to create “publicly accessible services,” meaning that they could allow public access to the cloud system and any of the sensitive data stored inside. Borges warned in the complaint that if this information were compromised, “it is possible that the sensitive [personally identifiable information] on every American including health diagnoses, income levels and banking information, family relationships, and personal biographic data could be exposed publicly, and shared widely.” Quote

robosmith Posted August 28, 2025 Author Report Posted August 28, 2025 Millions of Americans’ Social Security Data Put at Risk by DOGE, a Whistleblower Says. Here’s What to Know Quote The private information of hundreds of millions of Americans is at risk after the Department of Government Efficiency uploaded a copy of a vast Social Security database to a cloud server in June, according to a whistleblower complaint from the chief data officer for the Social Security Administration. The vulnerable DOGE server contains the information of every American who has applied for a Social Security card, including the applicants’ names, dates of birth, citizenships, ethnicities, phone numbers, addresses, and other personal information, potentially compromising the security of over 300 million Americans, according to the complaint, filed by Charles Borges to the Office of Special Counsel and members of Congress. “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,” the complaint reads. What is the database DOGE allegedly copied? DOGE transferred Social Security information from the Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT) database to an internal server only DOGE could access, according to the complaint. NUMIDENT contains all required information on applications for a United States Social Security card. Nearly 550 million Social Security numbers had been issued as of earlier this month. What potential risks do Americans face? When asked about Borges’ report that DOGE copied sensitive NUMIDENT data into an unsafe server, the Social Security Administration told TIME in a statement that “Commissioner Bisignano and the Social Security Administration take all whistleblower complaints seriously.” It went on to state that “SSA stores all personal data in secure environments that have robust safeguards in place to protect vital information. The data referenced in the complaint is stored in a long-standing environment used by SSA and walled off from the internet. High-level career SSA officials have administrative access to this system with oversight by SSA’s Information Security team. We are not aware of any compromise to this environment and remain dedicated to protecting sensitive personal data.” But the whistleblower report, filed by lawyers at the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower protection group, highlights concerns over a lack of “independent security controls” for the server, “including independent tracking of who is accessing the data and how they are using it.” Borges’ claim also stated that “no verified audit or oversight mechanisms existed” for the DOGE server. “This kind of misuse I have not seen from the federal government,” said Susan Landau, a professor of cybersecurity and policy at Tufts University, calling the alleged move to put such sensitive information at risk a “cowboy act.” Quote
