The Hill reports:
Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) improperly shared Social Security data through a third-party server, according to a recent court filing from the Justice Department.
The DOGE team embedded at the Social Security Administration (SSA) used Cloudflare, which was not approved for storing agency data, to share data during a 10-day period in March, the filing noted.
The agency has not been able to determine what data was shared and whether it still exists on the server, according to the document filed Friday, which seeks to correct the court record based on new information.
The Justice Department said the SSA identified the actions that were “potentially outside” agency policy or in violation of an earlier court order as part of a review last fall.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander blocked members of the DOGE team from accessing the agency’s data last March, as part of a case brought by the AFL-CIO and two other groups.
