The Social Security Administration’s internal watchdog is investigating allegations that a former DOGE engineer may have taken highly sensitive data belonging to more than 500 million Americans. The records include Social Security numbers, dates and places of birth, citizenship status, race, ethnicity, and parents’ names.
The complaint alleges this engineer, who worked at the SSA before moving to a government contractor in October, told co-workers he had these restricted databases, with at least one stored on a thumb drive.
