Elon Muskâs Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is proposing to merge federal data reserves from various agencies into a centralized database. Security experts warn this could make sensitive information more vulnerable to foreign hacking efforts. Traditionally, keeping data segmented across agencies enhances cybersecurity by making it harder for adversaries to gain access to comprehensive information. Privacy advocates express alarm that combining data sources can lead to detailed profiles of individuals, increasing risks of misuse and infringing on civil rights.
"Fusing data from multiple federal sources can lead to a detailed and intrusive profile of individuals, raising significant privacy concerns and the risk of misuse."
"Keeping sensitive information segmented across agencies makes it harder for hackers to access everything; a breach in one doesnât expose the entire database."
