The article details a lawsuit against the Social Security Administration and DOGE, involving claims that they improperly accessed sensitive data. An amended complaint was filed by Democracy Forward, alleging violations of the Privacy Act. A key witness, Tiffany Flick, former acting chief of staff at SSA, revealed pressure from DOGE associates to bypass agency processes for data access, raising concerns about the integrity of SSA programs and personnel shortages. This case adds to ongoing legal scrutiny regarding DOGE's access to government systems.
"I witnessed a disregard for critical processes - like providing the 'least privilege' access based on a 'need to know' - and a lack of interest in understanding our systems and programs."
"That combined with the significant loss of expertise as more and more personnel leave, have me seriously concerned that SSA programs will continue to function and operate without disruption."
