- Chuck Borges, the Social Security Administration’s chief data officer, claims he was forcibly removed from his position after filing a whistleblower complaint.
- Borges accused the SSA of mishandling sensitive data, including uploading it to an unsecure cloud server, which he alleges is illegal and risky.
- His resignation email to staff disappeared from inboxes shortly after being sent, raising questions about censorship.
- Borges’ whistleblower complaint names several individuals involved in the alleged data security violations, including Edward Coristine and John Solly.
- The SSA defended its data-security practices, stating the data in question is stored securely and walled off from the internet.
