As a result of the alleged breach, [whistleblower Charles] Borges “no longer felt he could continue to work for the Social Security Administration in good conscience given what he had witnessed,” his attorney, Andrea Meza, said in a statement to the Post.
Borges, a U.S. Navy veteran who began working as the chief data officer at the agency in January, provided more than two dozen pages of emails, memos and other communications outlining how DOGE “potentially violated multiple federal statutes” designed to protect government data.
In response, one of his superiors noted the possibility that the agency might have to re-issue Social Security numbers, according to the complaint.
The findings were shared with the Office of Special Counsel as well as members of Congress by lawyers at the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower protection group.
