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.

Replace your bank accounts, change your SSN, change employers, and move address. All your data has been compromized. Specifically:

  • social security numbers
  • medical and mental health records
  • bank and credit card information
  • tax details
  • work histories
  • home addresses

Avoid opening new accounts at these banks:

Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.

If his account is correct, the mishandling of this information could expose hundreds of millions of people to fraud and abuse for the rest of their lives.
