Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.

If his account is correct, the mishandling of this information could expose hundreds of millions of people to fraud and abuse for the rest of their lives.

That threat's name: Trump.

Unfortunately, I don't see this in anyway not being used to promote Trump's Voter ID push. I don't have a problem with "Voter ID", the EU has had national ID cards for quite a while, the problem is determining who gets them first and who runs into problems with them will be used by Trump to try to manipulate the elections. It will also definitely be used as the excuse to deploy ICE troops under.
