According to a whistleblower, a former DOGE employee with access to highly sensitive Social Security databases planned on sharing data with his private employer. As a result, reports the Washington Post, the Social Security Administration (SSA) is investigating what would be among the biggest security breaches in the agency's 80-year history. In letters from the agency's acting inspector general, Congress and the Government Accountability Office were notified of the disclosure and investigation, and the latter has launched its own audit of DOGE's data access. Per the whistleblower, an ex-DOGE software engineer bragged to coworkers that he not only possessed two highly restricted databases containing information for some 500 million Americans both dead and alive, but that he had one database on a thumb drive that he planned on using to provide data to a private company.
