Doge improperly shared sensitive social security data, DoJ court filing reveals | Trump administration | The Guardian

The Trump administration has admitted in a federal court filing that employees working for Elon Musk’s cost-cutting operation accessed and improperly shared Americans’ sensitive social security data. The Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) signed a secret data-sharing agreement with an unidentified political advocacy group, aiming to find evidence of voter fraud and overturn election results. The Social Security Administration (SSA) had no prior knowledge of the agreement and discovered it during an unrelated review. The SSA has referred two potential violations of the Hatch Act to the Office of Special Counsel for investigation. Doge members shared data using Cloudflare, an unauthorized third-party server, and it remains unclear what information was transmitted or if it still exists on the server.
