Read-only access is identity theft. Being able to make changes is worse, but they keep pushing the idea that read-only access is no big deal, and it's definitely Not Okay. Hackers stealing your personal data only need read access.
The whole thing reminds me of that moment on January 6 where the insurrectionists find papers in the Senate desks and start rifling through them as if they're going to find some evidence of a rigged election, and it's clear they have no idea what they're looking at
Given news of the kind of money DoGE has, and what we know they have spent, I remain convinced they are building a data lake in AWS GovCloud that is pooling a whole bunch of data that legally can't be pooled. Privacy disaster.
I wouldn’t assume they are even putting the data in GovCloud. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were running local copies on their personal PC’s for convenience.
I have already lost $1350 in SSA since Jan 2025 - SSA has not yet adjusted my payment to correct their IRMMA error. In 2023 w/Biden <30 days later SSA had made correction and never impacted my SSA pay. Under trump >90+ days and still NO response to my request. I have lost 3 months x $450 so far

If they're putting things into some cloud I'm guessing it's a personal account or a tesla/SpaceX linked one
