A complaint filed by the top data official at the Social Security Administration has raised serious alarms. It alleges that a team from Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency uploaded a massive Social Security database to an insecure cloud server. This action has been described as a reckless act that could expose the personal information of millions of Americans to potential hackers.
According to the New York Times, the complaint was brought forward by Charles Borges, the chief data officer for the Social Security Administration. Borges claims that in June, members of the Department of Government Efficiency team copied a critical government database. This database contains the records of every Social Security number ever issued.
