SSA whistleblower lodges complaint against DOGE
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/us/politics/doge-social-security-data.html

Dear All:
The Government Accountability Project represents Mr. Chuck Borges, the Chief Data
Officer (CDO) at the Social Security Administration (SSA), and a whistleblower. Mr. Borges
presents the following disclosures to your attention pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 2302 , 5 U.S.C. § 1213
and 5 U.S.C § 7211 for your respective offices to take appropriate oversight action.
In recent weeks Mr. Borges has become aware through reports to him of serious data
security lapses, evidently orchestrated by DOGE officials, currently employed as SSA employees,
that risk the security ofover 300 millionAmericans' Social Security data.1 Mr. Borges' disclosures
involve wrongdoing including apparent systemic data security violations, uninhibited
administrative access to highly sensitive production environments,2 and potential violations of internal SSA security protocols and federal privacy laws by DOGE personnel Edward Coristine
Aram Moghaddassi John Solly and Michael Russo.3 These actions constitute violations of laws, rules and regulations abuse of authority mismanagement and creation of threat to public health and safety. Since February 2025 it has been widely reported that DOGE officials have sought to access
the American public's Social Security data purportedly to address claims of fraud. A lawsuit has
been filed resulting in temporary restraining order to limit DOGE's access to this sensitive
data What has not been reported are DOGE's actions in violation of SSA protocols and policies
under the authority of SSA Chief Information Officer (CIO Aram Mogaddassi to create live copy of the country's Social Security information in cloud environment that circumvents oversight.
>>
cloud environment is effectively live copy of the entire country's Social
Security information from the Numerical Identification System (NUMIDENT database that
apparently lacks any security oversight from SSA or tracking to determine who is accessing or has
accessed the copy of this data NUMIDENT contains all data submitted in an application for
United States Social Security card including the name ofthe applicant place and date ofbirth
citizenship race and ethnicity parents names and social security numbers phone number
address and other personal information 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
Mr. Borges reports supported by documentary evidence reveal disturbing pattern of
questionable and risky security access and administrative misconduct that implicates some ofthe
public's most sensitive data Mr. Borges has raised concerns internally with various authorities in
the Chief Information Officer's (CIO office and to date has not been made aware of any remedial
action He therefore elevates his concerns out of sense of urgency and duty to the American
public
Since February several members of Congress have written letters and investigations to demand greater oversight over DOGE's access to SSA data. We urge all
members ofCongress committed to the safety oftheir constituents' data along with the U.S. Office
of Special Counsel to investigate the disclosures presented in this letter.

Already a thread on this >>1429886
>>
>>1429925
Yeah we all are well aware someone posted Rachel Maddow blogshit.
Personally, I'd like to keep the quality of threads on this board high.

Historically Rachel Maddow threads have been deleted.

For fucks sake, "maddowblog" is literally in the url of that thread
>>
>>1429931
do you think anyone is moderating this glorified shitslinging board right now? there's a thread up right now where the only link is "cia.gov"
>>
>>1429931
Rachel Maddow isn't wrong though
>>
>>1429933
>>1429932
Don't care.
I'm posting the original source because I care about the quality of the threads on this board, and posting threads citing "maddowblog" is clearly against rule 1: Blog and editorial articles are not acceptable.
>>
>>1429936
Where did Rachel Maddow hurt you?
>>
>>1429936
>I care about the quality of the threads on this board
then why did you post this admittedly hilarious shitpost
>>
>>1429931
>Personally, I'd like to keep the quality of threads on this board high.
>>1429936
>I care about the quality of the threads on this board

hilarious
>>
>>1429938
They pretend to care about quality, then deliberately refused to post the article text.
They're just raging and shilling per usual
>>
>>1429940
>deliberately refused to post the article text.
I posted both of the original sources, and my text is the text of the whistleblower complaint.
It doesn't get any more high quality than that, maddowblog-poster

Don't get salty that you post blogs. Instead, try not posting blogs.
>>
>>1429944
I like how you bitch and moan about blogs when there's not a single personal opinion part of that article. You're literally seeing red over a part of the URL.
>>
>>1429945
Just ignore him, he's trying to deflect from the content of the article.
>>
>>1429944
>It doesn't get any more high quality than that
Posting the original text of the news article you're posting is the highest quality
The board isn't called /sources/, shill
>>
>>1429918
No one cares, chud.
>>
>>1429946
Yeah why would anyone want to read the whistleblower complaint, that's for Chuds. I read maddows blogs all day every day, that's where us educated folk learn the news at.
>>
>>1429918
Post article in OP, faggot
>>
>>1429951
Read the whistleblower complaint, butthurt blogfag
>>
Ah, so we're in a shitty shill thread
You can tell by OP being a faggot, not posting the article, and OP hanging around to make fun of people pointing out they didn't post the article.
>>
>>1429920

So nothing's going to happen except "strong urging".
>>
>>1429954
Dunno.
Maybe they should implement the proper auditing procedures on it though. Pretty sure the judicial orders said they could access the data and work with it, but I would presume standard access and data protection guidelines still apply
>>
>>1429947
> Why in the world would anyone want to understand the cause of a controversy? I don't have time for that, I want people I've never met before to tell me how I should feel about recent events
>>
>this link is absolutely board relevant, even though it would be deleted if I posted it by itself
Post the article, faggot
>>
>>1429970
What's your problem
>>
>>1429937
>Where did Rachel Maddow hurt you?
He felt a same sex attraction toward Rachel maddow. The Anon is very confused
>>
>>1430016
This post makes no sense
>>
Any crying over DOGE is just white noise at this point. Democrats just want their unlimited gibs and corruption
>>
>>1430101
if you keep fellating billionaires like this you're going to choke to death
>>
>>1430102
>Those damn billionaires spending millions of dollars on gay muppets in the middle east
>>
>>1430105
Yeah, we gotta get that money out of there. How else are we going to give it all to billionaires?
>>
>>1429955

If it isn't explicitly stated then it didn't happen. Power hungry autists auditing for "their" country...

Nice DD's
>>
>>1430102
Do you think the billionaires with infinitely better credit than yours are trying to steal your identity?
>>
>>1430189
i can't understand you. what does gawk gawk gawk mean
>>
>>1430191
It means you think about dicks too much.

You know what you are suggesting is retarded.
>>
>>1430192
i can barely hear you, but from what i can tell it sounds like a strawman. wipe that drool off your face, you're shameless
>>
>>1430189
Rich people are well-known for not wanting more money or power.
