#Maryland's top election official balks at #Drumpf #DOJ demand for complete trove of sensitive personal voter information.
“This is a new era for the DOJ, it seems,” said a #Democrat member on the state's #BoardOFElections, adding that it is not policy to share “Marylanders’ personal information, the last four digits of #SocialSecurity, their date of birth, their home address, without any sort of rational explanation.”
State’s non-responsive response to broad over reach by "federal investigators" called ‘quite rude’ by another #GOP sycophant on State Board of #elections

Felon Muscovite's #DOGE has uploaded all 440 million #SocialSecurity numbers into insecure cloud storage.
'The agency’s chief information officer Aram Moghaddassi approved the move to copy the database to the agency’s cloud, saying he “determined the business need is higher than the security risk” and that he accepts “all risks” with the project.'
IMHO Moghaddassi is a disgrace to his profession.
So if you are working in #infosec or any kind of #data custodianship (in the US), you might as well get drunk, go to your SAN and take a giant piss onto it, because your profession means nothing anymore.
The Register: DOGE accused of duplicating critical Social Security database on unsecured cloud. “A Social Security Administration employee has filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that Donald Trump’s DOGE cost-cutting unit has put the records of every single American at risk by duplicating an agency database in an unauthorized cloud environment.”
Doge actors copied and uploaded a social security database to a cloud server without independent oversight that only Doge officials could access.
The database contains highly personal information about approx. 300 million US citizens and residents, including names, place and date of birth, race and ethnicity, names of family members, phone numbers, addresses and social security numbers.
There has not been a full accounting of why Doge has accessed the public’s data in this database. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/26/doge-social-security-elon-musk #Doge #SSA #SocialSecurity #Security #CyberSecurity #socialsecuritydata #Privacy #IdentityTheft
Do y'all remember earlier this year, when DOGE started messing around with Social Security Records, and I said that my entire earning history had been wiped at the same time my passport data disappeared from the State Department for the 3rd time?
And I said something was afoot with the information architecture?
Yeah. The dodgie bois uploaded the entire SS database to an unsecured cloud. Rumor is that all the databases have been taken off secured supercomputers and put in cloud.
Y'all...the amount of work it is going to take to restore data integrity to our core data architecture is extraordinary. All, no doubt, because DOGE couldn't grok #COBOL.
I rarely say with total pessimism that we are utterly fucked, but...
"Members of the Department of Government Efficiency uploaded a copy of a crucial Social Security database in June to a vulnerable cloud server, putting the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans at risk of being leaked or hacked, according to a whistle-blower complaint filed by the Social Security Administration’s chief data officer.
The database contains records of all Social Security numbers issued by the federal government. It includes individuals’ full names, addresses and birth dates, among other details that could be used to steal their identities, making it one of the nation’s most sensitive repositories of personal information.
The account by the whistle-blower, Charles Borges, underscores concerns that have led to lawsuits seeking to block young software engineers at the agency built by Elon Musk from having access to confidential government data. In his complaint, Mr. Borges said DOGE members copied the data to an internal agency server that only DOGE could access, forgoing the type of “independent security monitoring” normally required under agency policy for such sensitive data and creating “enormous vulnerabilities.”
Mr. Borges 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."
