Musk's DOGE SH*T COCKROACH dumps ALL SS Data into unsecure database, guy who exposed him forced out

Social Security whistleblower forced out after exposing massive data risk

In the letter of resignation dated Friday, Borges said he was "involuntarily leaving my position at the Social Security Administration (SSA)."

"This involuntary resignation is the result of SSA's actions against me, which make my duties impossible to perform legally and ethically, have caused me serious attendant mental, physical, and emotional distress, and constitute a constructive discharge. After reporting internally to management and externally to regulators, serious data and security and integrity concerns impacting our citizens' most sensitive personal data, I have suffered exclusion, isolation, internal strife, and a culture of fear, creating a hostile work environment and making work conditions intolerable."

Borges noted that he's been in public service for decades, serving first as an active-duty Naval Officer and is a decorated combat veteran. He explained that in his capacity at SSA, he has been "responsible for providing oversight and Governance to ensure the safety, integrity, and security of the public's data." That requires "full visibility into data access and exchange across all SSA systems and environments."

He was responsible for "ensuring compliance with federal data privacy, security, and regulatory requirements, as well as ensuring data is handled in accordance with internal and external policies, standards and industry best practices." However, Borges said, that he recently was made aware of "several projects and incidents" in which laws or regulations were violated.

They don't want us to know what's going on.

They don't want us to be able to tell the difference between truth and lies.

They want to punch so many holes into our government, our institutions, our values, that we can't possibly plug or repair them all.

Every single day brings a new unConstituional outrage. They want us all knocked back on our heels all the time.
