Senator Crapo is not going to do a thing but pick his check and be a good little boy.
This allegation is about privacy, not security. There are a lot of monitoring and access control around whose records I can access. I am forbidden from accessing family members and celebrities records. I am forbidden to access my own record.
If the allegations are true, Doge created a copy of the database in a private Amazon server that is not connected to any of that agency oversight, and they maintain total control of who can view it.
Hackers aren’t getting to this data, but since Doge has administrative access, they are the ones who decide who can and can’t view records. The “career agency officials” cannot protect this data.
Bingo
Jackpot !
"Hackers aren't getting to this data"
Without a second set of eyes reviewing security, all of our data is only as secure as that 20-something's security desires and/or knowledge.
In IT, one person builds the idea, another person reviews it for anything they may have missed or not known and a third group tests the solution to make sure it actually meets security and privacy requirements.
Oversight forces someone to do the things that they may have avoided because it might take more time or be difficult to implement and that makes our data more secure. Without following this sort of process there really is no expectation of security or privacy.
Oversight also serves to catch things when all best efforts fail, like a hacker accessing data.
This DOGE server has no oversight which means there is no genuine expectation of security or privacy nor any expectation someone is monitoring to make sure hackers haven't accessed our data.
Just because they said so doesn't make it true and quite frankly, DOGE has exaggerated or flat out lied about most of their efforts thus far and I would assume they are lying about this one too.
Accessing SSA data is the #1 dream of our enemies. It was literally the plot of one of the later Die Hard movies. DOGE says, challenge accepted!
