Perfect target for a data breach.

Summary

House Democrats allege DOGE, the agency created by Elon Musk to shrink government, is building a “cross-agency master database” of Americans’ sensitive data.

“Mass amounts” of personal information from the IRS, SSA, and voter records were uploaded into USCIS servers. Whistleblowers reported DOGE engineers accessed systems with “backpacks full of laptops,” each linked to different agencies.

This effort “disregards important cybersecurity and privacy considerations.” Rep. Connolly warned it could “violate several privacy laws.”

“Aggregation of data is building a weapon,” said John Davisson of EPIC. “It’s terrifying.”
