Overview

• Charles Borges told colleagues Friday he was submitting an "involuntary resignation," saying retaliation and a hostile work environment made his role impossible to perform legally and ethically.
• His whistleblower complaint accused SSA Chief Information Officer Aram Moghaddassi and the Department of Government Efficiency of enabling a live cloud copy of Social Security data that circumvented standard oversight.
• The filing said the dataset included identifying information for more than 300 million people, including Social Security numbers and other sensitive details.
• An SSA spokesperson said the referenced environment was walled off from the internet, limited to high‑level career officials under oversight, and that the agency was not aware of any compromise.
• Borges filed the complaint earlier this week and warned that unauthorized access to the cloud environment could expose Americans to identity theft and disrupt critical benefits.
