      Waiting for the headline “We’ve got Big Balls” meaning “we’ve got him in custody and he’s going to face charges”.

      Of course they did. They have no clue what it takes to run a government system. They’ve never dealt with a system that has actually consequences.

      So glad we’re running the government like a business now! PII leaks, large swaths of it failing, just as predicted.

      What happened that the Daily Beast is reporting news and the NYTimes is now the trash rag news source?

      Those of us that are paying attention and somewhat sane are not surprised by this information. I’m glad it is being acknowledged, though.

      What the actual fck is wrong with every single person involved in this administration. How are they such incompetent failures on every level. Not a qualified person in sight. Just a bunch of mindless sycophants bumbling about knocking everything over. Unfortunately that’s all it takes to destroy a country

      Didn’t „Big Balls“ receive some presidential medal of honor or some other junk jewelry that Trump gives away like it’s coming from gumball machines?

      DOGE goons and Musk need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

      These unqualified lunatics ransacked government agencies and stole OUR data.

      Sadly Republicans don’t give a fucking shit. A bunch of spineless traitors. Only good at lying, taking billionaire bribes, and protecting pedophiles.

      Fascism is noted for having the stupidest fucking people help run the show. Especially when the stupidest fucking person is the fascist in charge.

      Hard to believe we’re not 8 months into the term, 40 to go. Can’t wait to hear what’s next.

      Only the best people

      Taking that „No one deserves privacy“ thing to a new level aren’t they?

      Thank fuck I froze all my families credit years ago… what a bunch of chucklefucks…

      From the NYTimes: „…did not indicate that the database had been breached or used inappropriately.

      But his disclosure stated that as of late June, “no verified audit or oversight mechanisms” existed to monitor what DOGE was using the data for or whether it was being shared outside the agency. That kind of oversight would typically be provided by the agency’s career information security professionals, Mr. Borges said in his account.“

      What the Hell are they planning on doing with this data?

    20. 5minArgument on

      So much gasp. Surprising that a group of people with zero data handling training…and zero knowledge of the government systems they messed with…and zero knowledge about government processes…and zero knowledge about data security could make such colossal mistakes.

      DOGE were mostly recruited from Elon’s online Diablo gaming clan, right? Teens and college kids.

      To destroy the country and the economy and our security has ALWAYS BEEN THE PLAN!

      Wake up!

    25. elCharderino on

      Shit. Should we be proactively doing credit freezes at the three bureaus now? What the fuck man?

      >A Social Security whistleblower says hundreds of millions of Americans are at risk after their personal data was recklessly uploaded to a vulnerable cloud server, which one of the most notorious DOGE operatives, “Big Balls,” could access.

      >Charles Borges, the Social Security Administration’s chief data officer, said DOGE members uploaded a database containing records of all Social Security numbers issued by the federal government, full names, addresses, birth dates and other details that could be used to steal their identities, according to the complaint obtained by the New York Times.

      >The move “potentially violated multiple federal statutes” protecting sensitive government data, Borges wrote, and could result in a “catastrophic impact” for Social Security beneficiaries and programs if compromised.

      >“Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment,” Borges warned in the complaint, “Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital health care and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for reissuing every American a new Social Security number at great cost.”

      >DOGE members copied the data to an internal server that only they could access, a setup which Borges says created “enormous vulnerabilities” without any verified audits or oversight mechanisms.

      >Despite his role overseeing data at the SSA, Borges said DOGE failed to include him in their project—leaving him to discover the potentially catastrophic ramifications after the fact, the Times reported.
      …
      This latest revelation at SSA is part of a growing number of DOGE mishaps with severe consequences. Since Trump returned to office in January, the department once helmed by Elon Musk has canned government contracts, gutted agencies and fired thousands of federal employees, often leaving chaos in its wake.

      >Now, the administration is reportedly scrambling to rehire many of the officials purged by DOGE’s aggressive cost-cutting, as staffing shortfalls begin to paralyze critical operations.

      DOGE has been simultaneously the largest federal breach in US history and the biggest fucking waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money.

      Everyone should have credit freezes from all credit reporting bureaus. Just by default, request a freeze. Do it now b

    31. Extreme-Island-5041 on

      Oh yay…*yet another* free subscription to equifax or whatever identity protection plan they choose this time. This’ll be my 4th in 9 years.

    33. munkeypunk on

      How many times am I gonna have to read about Big Balls doing something shady? Like seriously?

    36. odd-duckling-1786 on

      Arrest them and make them suffer the same consequences the rest of us would.

      I read [the complaint](https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/a9f2afd18a79e330/b181d62a-full.pdf) and here’s what technically happened.

      **OMFG** it’s fucking the wild west shooting from the hip, who gives a F about security or anything. They literally just took EVERYONE’S PERSONAL DATA and put it on a random server that they all had access to with ZERO controls. This is **criminal** in any other admin.

      * DOGE created a copy of the **[NUMIDENT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numident)** database, which is a master Social Security record file of EVERYONE
      * They moved it into a cloud environment inside SSA’s AWS infrastructure, but in a way that **bypassed required security controls**
      * Put in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) managed directly by DOGE turds and not SSA’s division of infrastructure services (DIS)
      * DOGE turds had full administrative control of this environment, **including the ability to enable public-facing services!**
      * No authority to operate (ATO), which is a formal security auth, no independent audits, and no independent monitoring of access
      * Basic security mitigations were explicitly ignored, such as using live prod data in dev/test environments
      * **Michael Russo** made the decision to transfer the live NUMIDENT database with a simple „approved“ (WTF?)
      * **Aram Moghaddassi** (DOGE turd) also issued himself a **“Provisional Authorization to Operate“** for the cloud environment, despite the statutory requirement to have independent security approval and unilaterally declared that the business need outweighed the risks. (WTF?!)
      * Most likely violated multiple federal laws, including the Pribacy Act, FISMA, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

      **TL;DR:** They copied EVERY American’s personal data, moved it to a server they controlled and the SSA had no visibility into, and could do whatever the F they wanted with it! From my experience working with eager, young software engineers, I would almost guarantee that one of those DOGEturds copied the entire SSA NUMIDENT database to an external hard drive and has it at home…just in case…for whatever they might want.

      To be fair I’m pretty sure everyone’s social security number has already been leaked by lax corporation security.

    41. Kyonikos on

      I don’t think this is what was meant by the phrase, „move fast and break things.“

    43. Competitive-Ad-9404 on

      Dozens of Cybersecurity professionals – the dudes who fight hackers professionally – have shown in detail how the private information has been exposed.  But of course on X the whistblower is attacked as making up lies and Musk’s account retweets it.
