Overview

• Charles Borges submitted an “involuntary” resignation, alleging retaliation and a hostile work environment after raising data security concerns.
• His complaint says DOGE personnel directed a live copy of the SSA’s Numident records into an AWS virtual private cloud, identifying John Solly as requesting the transfer.
• The filing describes exposure risks for names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and other sensitive details including health, income, banking information, and family relationships.
• SSA spokesperson Nick Perrine says the environment is longstanding, walled off from the internet, and that the agency is not aware of any compromise.
• GAP is representing Borges in a case filed with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, and WIRED reported his resignation email briefly disappeared from staff inboxes; a June Supreme Court action previously cleared DOGE to access SSA data.
