John Solly Is The Alleged Culprit In Data Theft

      From Wired:

JOHN SOLLY, A software engineer and former member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is the DOGE operative reportedly accused in a whistleblower complaint of telling colleagues that he stored sensitive Social Security Administration (SSA) data on a thumb drive and wanted to share the information with his new employer, multiple sources tell WIRED.

Since October, according to a copy of his résumé, Solly has worked as the chief technology officer for the health IT division of a government contractor called Leidos, which has already received millions in SSA contracts and could receive up to $1.5 billion in contracts with SSA based on a five-year deal it signed in 2023.

I hope someone is keeping a list of these Doge douchebags so they can be blocked from ANY future government job/security clearance/contract. Better yet, put them all in jail and throw away the key!

You should start posting links to their video depositions. They really drive home that the DOGE people were all immature dweebs who think they’re geniuses because they’re caucasian males and know how to use chatgpt to do basic things like search documents for specific terms.

Kids these days. They probably are pretty smart, but their phones get in the way of actually using their intellectual abilities. Ask one to show their math on a nice complicated math problem, that's how ya find out if they were taught properly in school. I honk if I see someone walking on the sidewalk while looking at their phone. That high-jump will teach them more than what their device will.

Now we want to know who else Solly gave that data to!

Investigate Leidos for receipt of stolen government information. See how long the DOGE boy lasts. Might put their SSA contract in jeopardy.

Leidos should pay for credit monitoring of every enumerated individual for the rest of our lives. Receipt of stolen goods.

Bad administrations have far more leaks than others. These whistle blowers are our watchdogs in this particular administration. They'll be more leaks of crooked things done. In a good, well run administration, nobody has anything to leak.

Leidos is a contractor for SSA. Are we sure he isn’t still working at SSA as a contractor, with continued access to sensitive information?

Just checked and verified that as of today, John Solly is still working for Leidos on the SSA contract.
