“Last August, whistleblower Charles Borges, who worked as the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration filed a disclosure to the special counsel’s office, stating that more than 300 million Americans’ Social Security data was put at risk after DOGE officials uploaded sensitive information to a cloud account not subject to oversight.
In January, the Trump administration admitted in court that DOGE workers had unauthorized access to sensitive SSA data, shared SSA data using an unapproved third-party service, and engaged in activities outside the scope of SSA’s mission, including signing a “voter data agreement” with a political advocacy group.
That litigation is ongoing.”
