    will we ever really know how much data was stolen by musk and doge or what they will do with it all?

    people should be put in prison for this. Just following orders isn't a defense.

    Former Top Social Security Official Reveals DOGE Employees Demanded Access To Sensitive Data And Exposed It In Unsecured Locations

    Concretely, Tiffany Flick filed a declaration before a federal court, detailing how outside appointees demanded access to sensitive taxpayer information while bypassing established procedures and disregarding internal security protocols at the Social Security Administration (SSA).

    Flick, who served as the SSA's acting chief of staff until her forced departure in February, said that DOGE representatives sought unrestricted access to databases containing personal information on millions of Americans. She alleges that data was exposed in unsecured locations outside SSA offices and that the political appointees refused to explain their need for the information, which is protected by law.

    The declaration is part of a lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward on behalf of unions and retirees seeking to block DOGE's access to the data. Flick described the unfolding of the events as a "de facto coup" in which agency outsiders circumvented the chain of command and made decisions affecting agency operations. She also warned that the integrity of Social Security programs could be at risk due to the loss of institutional knowledge and the potential mishandling of critical data.

    Hope everyone has their credit locked, because a bunch of teenagers and organized crime figures in Russia and China who are colluding with Trump and Musk are about to go on a multi-year spending spree.
