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.

    Didn’t we know this already at the time they breached those systems? If nothing has been done yet, I doubt it ever will…unless of course some private entity wants some pork for implementing a new id system to replace SS. In fact I very much doubt this security oversight was unintentional to begin with.
