The Department of Government Efficiency begins auditing federal agencies for waste.
Federal authorities have initiated a formal investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following allegations of unauthorized access and handling of sensitive Social Security Administration data. The probe centers on potential violations of the Privacy Act and federal cybersecurity protocols regarding the management of personal identifiable information.
A whistleblower complaint alleges a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee exploited 'God-level' access to exfiltrate data on 500 million Americans from Social Security Administration databases. The staffer reportedly intended to share the data with a private employer and expressed confidence in receiving a presidential pardon for the actions.
