>A former employee of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency reportedly stole Americans’ personal data from the U.S. Social Security Administration and stored it on a thumb drive, according to a whistleblower complaint reported by The Washington Post.
>The former DOGE software engineer told co-workers at his new job that he “possessed two tightly restricted databases of U.S. citizens’ information” and was planning to use the information at his new company, according to the report, which added that the Social Security Administration’s inspector general is investigating the whistleblower complaint.
…
The former DOGE employee, whom The Washington Post did not name, worked at the Social Security Administration last year. In October he then left to work at a government contractor, where he told colleagues that he had obtained two databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” according to The Post, which reported that the databases could include records for “more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names.”
>The man also reportedly claimed that he previously had unrestricted “God-level” access to the SSA’s systems.
>This is the latest case of a suspected breach of Americans’ personal data linked to DOGE and its incursion into the Social Security Administration. In January, two DOGE members were suspected of accessing and sharing Social Security numbers that were off limits to them as part of an effort to aid an advocacy group that intended to “overturn election results in certain States,” according to a lawsuit.
>Another whistleblower within the agency last year said that DOGE members put Americans at risk by uploading hundreds of millions of Social Security records to a vulnerable cloud server. Also last year, a judge blocked DOGE from accessing SSA systems, accusing the Musk-led agency of being “essentially engaged in a fishing expedition” in search of fraud.
This corrupt motherfucking administration.

This is also in addition to the other folks that uploaded at least one of the same databases to a random fucking cloud endpoint. It was just a smash and grab. Also, I’ve said it before but I’m sure every nation state that had the ability was up on these fucking folks and their devices.
There was a whistleblower that said minutes after minting new credentials someone from outside the country used the creds. Another layer of defense mitigated the bad actor using legitimate creds.
This is so fucked and easily predicted at the time.

From the WaPo article reporting this story:
>According to the disclosure, the former DOGE software engineer, who worked at the Social Security Administration last year before starting a job at a government contractor in October, allegedly told several co-workers that he possessed two tightly restricted databases of U.S. citizens’ information, and had at least one on a thumb drive. The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names. The complaint does not include specific dates of when he is said to have told colleagues this information, but at least one of the alleged events unfolded around early January, according to the complaint. While working at DOGE, the engineer had approved access to Social Security data.

Can we sue? I think we should sue.

This is why, we have layers of bureaucracy and security that keep data behind closed doors.
People can go to jail for this. People should go to jail for this. This was irresponsible behavior from the Trump administration. The move fast and break shit mentality should not apply to social security information. It shouldn’t apply to the fucking government.
The fact that we had teenagers with no fucking life experience, no job experience, allowed to run free With almost no supervision should piss people off no matter which side of the political aisle they live on.
Cartoonish irresponsibility.

No shit. Wasn’t that the entire point of DOGE?
They stole data and money. It’s why they existed.

That’s what this was always all about for Elon. Settled some scores and got rid of agencies that annoyed him like USAID, lashed out at anyone or anything that had ever tried to put restrictions on his companies, and also accessed all of our tax information and socials. It’s funny how DOGE totally failed at what was supposed to be its intended purpose in exposing fraud and cutting billions off of the deficit, but all that happened was Elon somehow became richer.

People have short memories. Lots of DOGE contractors did this shit and they even uploaded a bunch of stuff over Starlink to who knows where? They would push their way in and start sifting through data and code while plugging in drives. This is just one part of what they stole.
Queasy_Rip3210 on
I really feel like this whole situation, including the kid “blabbing” to coworkers, is by design. I genuinely believe they want an excuse to issue new social security numbers/make a new system up altogether and allow them to decide outright who’s a citizen and who isn’t. They can literally just say whoever doesnt qualify for a new number cause their old number was fake or taken from someone else.

We need to make sure we remember Elon’s stooges who would push past security to unlawfully access this stuff. They need to be behind bards when the reckoning begins.
