Your Social Security data is just floating around on an AWS cloud server.
If you've ever dealt with AWS, the phrase "far fewer security measures in place" should make you clench quite a bit.
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.”
The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
