Whistleblower Accuses Former DOGE Engineer of Data Theft: A Threat to National Security?
A former Department of Government Efficiency software engineer is accused of accessing two restricted Social Security databases, containing personal details on over five hundred million Americans. The engineer allegedly planned to transfer this data to his new employer at a government contractor. The Social Security Administrations Office of the Inspector General launched an investigation, notifying top members of four congressional committees and the Government Accountability Office. The former employee denies any wrongdoing, but details in the complaint suggest he boasted about having the data on a thumb drive and sought help to clean it on his personal computer. This probe highlights ongoing concerns about DOGEs access to sensitive records, including past complaints of improper cloud uploads and separate breaches acknowledged earlier this year.
