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

  3. 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 actual consequences.

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

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

  5. Elon should be sued for his entire worth for this shit.

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

  7. 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

  8. 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?

  9. 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.

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

  11. 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

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

  13. Federal prison awaits once all of this is over. We will not forget

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

  16. 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?

  18. I like how they just parrot the bullshit carjacking narrative.

  20. 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.

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

  23. >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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.  

  27. Fuck you, NY Times, you vile pieces of shit who sane washed this shitbag president so that you could get clicks covering them!

    No click here!

  28. Oh look at that, it’s the *exact fucking thing we all said would happen*

  29. >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.

    So Big Balls just exposed every single person in the United States to identity theft.

    If they ever put that girl he harassed on trial for assault, the jurors are likely to return a verdict of “Here, let me hold him down so you can get a few more shots in.”

    >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.

    Only they could access, according to DOGE.

    But remember, these are the same people that set up a server and within fifteen minutes it had people from the Kremlin logging into it.

  30. NUMIDENT is the US gov’t system that holds all the data submitted for a Social Security card (“name of the applicant, place and date of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, parents’ names and social security numbers, phone number, address, and other personal information.”)

    According to the [whistleblower disclosure letter](https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/a9f2afd18a79e330/b181d62a-full.pdf), DOGE allegedly set up a VPC in the Amazon cloud and was trying to transfer apparently the entire prod NUMIDENT environment to it

    > On July 15, 2025, Aram Moghaddassi [DOGE dude] authorized a “Provisional Authorization to Operate” apparently for the NUMIDENT cloud project stating, “I have determined the business need is higher than the security risk associated with this implementation and I accept all risks associated with this implementation and operation..’”

    > … Moghaddassi circumvented independent security monitoring and authorized himself to “assume the risk” of holding a copy of the American public’s social security data in a potentially unsecured cloud environment. In reality, it is the American people who assume the risk.

    That’s fucking nuts

  31. Wow, who would have thunk it? Except for EVERYONE who screamed and hollered about Muskies little Doge-ies who had zero training or security clearances. Told you naysayers they were stealing ssn’s!

  32. Feel like if they’re going to set me up for identity theft and my credit being destroyed, the least they could do is forgive my student loans.

  33. Please enter your SSN in the space below to check if your number has been compromised

    /s

  34. When Trump first announced DOGE I posted that we were all going to end up having to be issued new SSN by the end of this administration.

    I guess I was right. And a lot sooner than I thought.

    How much longer are we going to allow felons, rapists, pedophiles, and traitors to fuck our shit up?

  35. Allowing a 20 year old child to access a sensitive SS database goes wrong, who could’ve seen that coming? (Sarcasm)

  36. If only anyone held them accountable – a brocccoli bitch like Big Balls can’t handle a couple of 15 year olds, let’s see how he manages federal prison.

  37. It’s adorable any US citizens thinks the US government will hold its officials accountable in any meaningful degree for their actions on the governments behalf. Where do you think you live?
