Americans should close all their bank accounts & open new accts, thanks to Elon who exfiltrated the entire social security DB & leaked it to Cloudflare (www.ecoticias.com)

Replace your bank accounts, change your SSN, change employers, and move address. All your data has been compromized. Specifically:

social security numbers
medical and mental health records
bank and credit card information
tax details
work histories
home addresses

Avoid opening new accounts at these banks:

You and I both know they don’t consider this a breach.

Who’s they? By “they” you mean government. That’s not an atomic unit. The gov has many govs therein and those govs are not aligned. Read the article.

“A filing summarized on Representative John Larson’s website states that DOGE workers used the third party service Cloudflare in March 2025 in a way that violated Social Security’s own security policies, and that DOGE employees attempted to pass sensitive personal records to an outside advocacy group seeking to overturn election results.”

…

“The Department of Justice has since admitted in another case that earlier statements to the courts about DOGE’s access were inaccurate.”

…

“A press release from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees describes how Justice Department filings acknowledged that individuals’ personal data had been disclosed to third parties using a non-government server, and that DOGE operatives entered Social Security systems without proper authority, bypassing safeguards and putting bank accounts, health records, wage histories, and immigration status at risk.”

So policy violations, inaccurate testimony, and improper authority.. clearly some key gov agencies see this as a data breach.

The government has many governments there in and those governments are not aligned? I know those words but not how you used them. English is clearly not your first language so kindly stop trying to start shit here. It's sad how hard you are pushing something that doesn't exist and doesn't work like you think.

You’re clearly the one struggling with English. I’m guessing it’s not your 1st language. FYI, it’s spelled “therein” as a single word.

There are literally thousands of governments within the US. The US loves to create new govs. If you cannot grasp that, then you simply will not be able to understand the problem with trying to consider “the gov” as a singular entity in this context. In the very least, you should try to understand that there are 3 branches of government. From there, copious jurisdictions divided by geography and scope of law.

Do a search on “ICE Minnesota” if you want to understand hard and fast how govs in the US can be unaligned.

I am not going to write a whole book right here so you can understand. Go back to school.
