Whistleblower Alleges Risk to Social Security Data Due to DOGE Actions
A whistleblower has raised alarming concerns about the mishandling of sensitive Social Security data linked to the DOGE cryptocurrency initiative spearheaded by Trump officials. Reports indicate that millions of Social Security numbers may have been copied and stored on a vulnerable cloud server, putting the private information of approximately 300 million Americans at significant risk. The whistleblower has claimed that DOGE employees created a dangerous live copy of the Social Security database, further endangering critical data. While some officials are reportedly dismissing these claims, the potential vulnerabilities highlighted by the whistleblower suggest a serious breach that could compromise personal data on a large scale.
