WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 300 million Americans’ Social Security data was put at risk after Department of Government Efficiency officials uploaded sensitive information to a cloud account not subject to oversight, according to a whistleblower disclosure submitted to the special counsel’s office Tuesday.

Whistleblower Charles Borges, who worked as the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration since January, said the potential sensitive information that risks being released includes health diagnoses, income, banking information, familial relationships and personal biographic data.

“Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number at great cost,” said the complaint.

"...the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number at great cost,” said the complaint." 

Maybe that's exactly the point...Trump basically wants to have a reason to reissue or reprogram Social Security under his vision...not what's best for the American people. This is also dangerous because it would invite his administration to segregate and reject coverage for those they deam unworthy. 

So irresponsible and disgusting what this administration has done is just a matter of MONTHS! How are we gonna make it these next few years is beyond me...seems he completely has flipped this country upside down
