US Department of Justice Admits DOGE May Have Misused Social Security Data
A shocking revelation has come to light in a recent court filing, revealing that the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may have shared sensitive data from the US Social Security Administration with an outside group seeking to "overturn election results" in certain states. The admission comes as a surprise, as it was previously thought that DOGE operatives were following long-standing constitutional protections.
According to court documents, DOGE operatives allegedly used third-party servers, including Cloudflare, to share data from the SSA without proper security protocols. One instance mentioned in the filing involves Steve Davis, a high-ranking adviser to Elon Musk, being copied on an email containing password-protected files with sensitive information linked to SSA systems of record.
However, it is unclear whether Davis accessed the file or if he was simply copied on it. The SSA has stated that they were unable to determine this.
Meanwhile, another story highlights the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) taking a unique step by creating "no-fly zones" around Department of Homeland Security operations, effectively restricting drones from flying within 3,000 feet horizontally and up to 1,000 feet above DHS assets. Violating these restrictions could result in criminal charges, civil penalties, or even loss of drone flying authority.
Other security concerns include a potential data breach at Under Armour, which is investigating claims that millions of customer records were leaked online. The leak included sensitive information such as names, email addresses, genders, dates of birth, and purchase history.
Lastly, it has been reported that Microsoft often complies with FBI requests for decryption keys to unlock computers in investigations. The company stated that this happens around 20 times a year, although there is an exception when the key is stored locally by the user.
In other news, Iranian State TV was hijacked to air an anti-regime message from protesters amid recent protests, and TikTok has begun collecting more data on its users, including precise location information.

first off its outta bounds that they used social security data to try and overturn election results its like something straight outta a bad movie . and now we find out cloudflare was involved 
cant believe the ppl in charge would be so reckless with sensitive info .
️ and i feel for all the drone pilots who dont wanna get busted by law enforcement .
millions of customer records leaked online like what even is wrong with these companies ???
OMG, this is wild. So, it's like the government's own department might have been sharing super sensitive info about people who are eligible for social security benefits... that's just not right 
. And now they're trying to cover their tracks by saying they didn't follow proper protocols? Like, come on! 
. I mean, I get it, security is important and all that, but can't we just be a bit more transparent about it? 
. And what really gets my goat is when companies like Microsoft have to decrypt people's computers for the FBI... like, how do they even justify that? 
. I mean, it's like they thought they were above the law? Newsflash: we're all just trying to figure it out as we go along 
. And can you believe Elon Musk is somehow involved in all this drama? 
. We need to be more careful with our personal info, folks! Let's get digital security back on track 
.
This whole thing is like a never-ending nightmare, first it's the Russians hacking us, then it's our own government doing this... and now we're giving away our personal info to just anyone! 
I mean what even is the point of having Social Security if we can't trust that it's not gonna get leaked out all over the internet?! 
i'm low-key obsessed 
. Sharing sensitive info like that is just reckless and not cool at all. What if some bad actors got their hands on it? It's a huge security risk and I don't think the Trump administration should've been so sloppy with it. 
. We need to protect our airspace and prevent any potential threats. The Under Armour data breach thing is just disgusting, I mean who leaks that kind of info? It's gotta be a big investigation and some serious consequences for whoever was behind it 
.
what's next? sharing ur credit score w/ your favorite pizza place 
. And now we're hearing about Under Armour's customer records being leaked online? Guess that's one way to get your foot in the door for identity theft 
! On a lighter note, 3,000 feet above DHS assets? That's like trying to fly a drone around my backyard without permission – no thanks! 
I guess when it comes to drones, you can never be too careful.
And TikTok collecting more data on users? At least we know where our fave creators are lurking 
. Like, think about it - even if we don't realize it, there are people out there trying to get their hands on our sensitive stuff. And it's not just DOGE or the SSA, it's all these other places too... like Under Armour and Microsoft and even TikTok 
.
. On a related note, it's crazy how much info our personal details are being collected for by these big companies like Under Armour – I mean, I get it, they need some data to run the business, but millions of records leaked online? That's just reckless 
. We need to be super careful about what we share online and who's got access to it 
. Like, what even is the point of having a no-fly zone if you're just gonna have them nearby?! 
And Under Armour's customer records got leaked... that's just terrible for those people. Like, how do you even keep track of all this stuff? 
Anyway, Microsoft is basically saying they'll give the FBI their decryption keys every 20 times a year... sounds like a plan to me. Just have to wonder what else is going on behind closed doors...
. Did you know that the SSA alone handles over 100 million records? 
It's crazy to think about how vulnerable those are to hacking and misuse. And what really gets me is that it was all supposedly done under Trump, so like, the implications for national security are huge 
. And don't even get me started on Microsoft and their decryption keys 
I mean, who needs that much info about us anyway?
