Wired [detailed] an effort at DOGE to fold[the SSA]
    database into the DHS [database]

    Specifically, mass amounts of personal data harvested
    from the IRS, SSA

    voting records in Pennsylvania and Florida were recently
    uploaded into servers at the US Customs (USCIS) 
    [within DHS], which processes immigration cases.

    [Rep] Connolly cited testimony from SSA whistleblowers
    who witnessed DOGE engineers accessing the agency’s 
    IT system with “backpacks full of laptops,
    each with access to different agency systems”,
    with the aim of combining them into one database.


    Connolly warned that not only would such a database 
    pose a threat to government cybersecurity
    which siloes its information across several agencies
    to prevent cyberattacks from accessing all info at once
    it was also very likely violating several privacy laws.
