"According to the Post's reporting, the former DOGE employee claimed at least one database was held on a personal thumb drive, and claimed to have retained "God-level" access to SSA systems, the whistleblower alleged. The former staffer also allegedly told colleagues they wanted to share the data with their private-sector employer, the Post reported."
"Not only has an ex-DOGE bro been accused of running around with the Social Security information of every American on a flash drive, he also may have the ability to edit and manipulate data at the Social Security Administration at will."
"The Social Security Administration's inspector general notified the leaders of several House and Senate committees on Mar. 6 that it is reviewing an anonymous complaint "on matters relating to the potential misuse of SSA data by a former DOGE employee, among other allegations," according to a copy of the letter obtained by NPR."
The Social Security Administration's inspector general and Congressional Democrats are investigating allegations that a former DOGE employee misused SSA data. According to whistleblower information, the former software engineer retained copies of sensitive databases containing personal information about nearly every living American, allegedly storing at least one database on a personal thumb drive. The employee reportedly claimed to have "God-level" access to SSA systems and allegedly expressed intent to share the data with their private-sector employer. Congressional Democrats have expanded their probe into DOGE's access to Social Security data following these revelations. House Oversight Committee Democrats characterized the allegations as demonstrating the Trump administration's disregard for Americans' information security.
